Live right now 2:55pm Central.

[icehenge]

16. Phone Number again.

202-737-0002 for Democrates

[scottxyz]

6. 3rd caller says "it smells funny"

when more than 100% percent of voters show up.

In the Ukraine, it was investigated when 96% show up.

Surely, it should raise eyebrows when over 100% show up.

[scottxyz]

7. 4th caller supported DeLay

Says it's sour grapes. C'mon, you guys lost. Let's move forward.

[Doremus]

8. Wow - 4 out of 5 calls so far supportive

[JohnnyRingo]

9. There was that "sour grapes" catchphrase.

We'll be hearing that for a few days

[Kota]

10. The word is out now, we can talk about it.

[scottxyz]

11. 5th caller - we've been denied the right to vote

Two elections in a row have been stolen.

Our system is broken. John Kerry won.

[Doremus]

12. Repuke attacking Black Caucus

[scottxyz]

13. 6th caller - ridiculous to attack SoS of Ohio

Mentions lack of evidence.

[GreenPartyVoter]

[Doremus]

14. Ha! Americans need to read because we're being snowed!!! :)

[IndyOp]

17. All circuits are busy now! If someone gets through could you tell them

that some of the GOP speakers were lying? It is NOT true that Moss v. Bush charges that Bush or Rove or Cheney was on a laptop at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue changes vtoe tallies. It says "agents of" -- which I think is legal-speak for anyone acting illegally in a way that would benefit them. It is also COMPLETE bullshit that there is no evidence of fraud in 2000 or 2004 -- where the F*** does Delay get off?

:grr:

[scottxyz]

18. 7th caller - a pox to the other media who didn't cover this

Thanks to CSPAN for covering it.

Overseas media give our elections more coverage than we do, she says.

We're being snowed over.

[dooner]

19. 202-628-0184 (# for "others" to call CSPAN)

[Doremus]

20. Another supporter -- The dam is falling away

[scottxyz]

21. 8th caller - We're just trying to make sure votes get counted

Saying nothing went wrong without checking into it is obscene.

In San Diego we had write-in ballots that weren't counted too.

[johnnie]

22. Something isn't right

Most calls are for our cause. Someone is going to get fired for letting too many of these calls through..lol

[Verve]

26. Now they've had 2 naysayers in a row. Must be trying to make up

for it!

[roenyc]

23. what?

[scottxyz]

24. 9th caller - "Dems are clutching at straws"

Conspiracy theories, wild notions.

The results speak for themselves.

Bush won with 60m votes, Kerry had 56m votes.

(But that was the question, wasn't it - idiot.)

[roenyc]

25. Theeeeeeeeeeeere here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doremus]

27. Precinct judge is amazed ....

We accused them of lying, cheating for Shrub. He's tired of hearing it.


We're so sorry to offend your tender sensibilities...

[scottxyz]

28. 10th caller - don't slander the volunteers (who work the polls)

"Dems keep saying we lie cheat and steal for George Bush.

I don't see that.

Our BoE are split between Dems and Repubs.

I'm tired of hearing it."

(He worked as a precinct voting judge.)

[roenyc]

30. are they whites a bedroom community? wtf?

[scottxyz]

34. CSPan person asked him some questions

Is your precinct urban or rural?

(Answer - bedroom community.)

Is it conceivable that other precincts could have been different?

(Answer - yes.)

[Terre]

35. Oh good. . . judging from a precinct

that has "no" problems. So what?

I'm sorry. The guy is a baffoon if he thinks 70% is a huge turnout.

[Doremus]

29. Oh, you had 70% turnout...

Wish Cuyahoga County would have been permitted to have that high of turnout.

The repukes made sure they held us down to 50%.

[icehenge]

31. Judge

Why are letting the judge called in soak up so
many minutes? He has been speaking for a few minutes.

[McCamy Taylor]

32. No they arent this guy is tying them up.

[Doremus]

33. Ha ha -- "sure it's possible my experience isn't indicative of state..."

Who imagined there was going to be a 70% turnout????????????

Where have you been chump?

[roenyc]

36. Maybe by the registration? nt

[roenyc]

39. AMEN nt

[Doremus]

37. Boxer rebellion.

Dangerous precedent.

Oh please.

[scottxyz]

38. 11th caller - against the Boxer Rebellion

The challenge is without merit - because it wouldn't have changed the election. Sets a bad precedent.

Interrupted by the CSpan lady.

[scottxyz]

40. 12th caller - thanks Sen Boxer

ES&S and Diebold are owned by Repubs.

We need an honest counting of the votes - probably going to a manual system.

Not about sour grapes.

[Doremus]

41. Nobody doing anything about Milwaukee thugs...

Uh, so she's agreeing we need reforms...

[roenyc]

43. oops read below nt

[scottxyz]

42. 13th caller - Milwaukee

Says Repub vans' tires got slashed.

3000 voter cards were illegally filed in WI.

Calls Gov Doyle Communist-Socialist.

[scottxyz]

44. 14th caller

There needs to be an investigation.

Why not look into.

If you're so sure nothing went wrong, then look into it.

[scottxyz]

45. 15th caller

far left wingers, lunatics, stunt to get their day in the sunshine

there is no voter fraud

there ARE problems in the voting process, but this is not the time and place to bring it up.

[icehenge]

46. Thanks for documenting this scottxyz

[scottxyz]

47. 16th caller

a milestone

2nd rigged election

we sent your producers plenty of evidence about the Diebold and ES&S machines

there was all kinds of fraud from a to z

the exit poll discrepancy was much worse than that of the ukraine

what you have now is a one-party system

we are definitely in for a hard time

[scottxyz]

48. 17th caller - lifelong conservative and republican

appalled that his colleagues are opposed to looking into instances of election fraud

the tenet of democracy is built upon free and fair elections

for them to discount these instances of election irregularities is really disappointing to me

[Al-CIAda]

49. Kick ass calls.

[FreepFryer]

50. Great GOP'er comment about how disappointed he is in the other GOPers

for not examining the issues of Election fraud.

[roenyc]

54. isnt it nice when republicans can be normal? reminds me of

the old days. pre reagan

[scottxyz]

51. 18th caller

repubs are controlling everything in this country

if the news media werent blowing off this story, then we would find that kerry won this

take the valerie plame investigation - getting blown off

[Lydia Leftcoast]

55. 19th caller

Republican woman from Illinois asking why we can't guarantee fair elections so that she can reassure her Democratic relatives that Bush was legally elected.

[scottxyz]

52. 19th caller

just called an official in her state - who's repub, and so is she

why can't we in this country have a level playing field

why can't we have reform where when we vote for president, why can't there be a machine with a paper receipt and a paper trail, so i won't have to argue with my liberal relatives whether it was a legit election

our democracy is at stake, whether you're a republican or a democrat

last call - break to black caucus now!

(My fingers are tired!)

[No Exit]

53. Guess what!!! Even some of the republican line callers are

giving thumbs up to what happened today!!

[scottxyz]

56. at least two repub callers supported investigation, paper trail

they also want to make sure that when their guy wins, it looks legit.

interesting point - this shows the bipartisan aspect to this.

"Don't you Repubs want to make sure your 'victory' is legitimate?"

[Patchuli]

62. It's encouraging to see Repubs

who are concerned about the fairness of elections and upholding
American's voting rights. That's what it's going to take too.
The good people, regardless of party, to sweep out all our Houses
of the riff raff!

I can't believe Tom DeLay would use the word "criminal" about anything
other than himself! Hypocrite!

But I do think there are a lot of Republican folks that believe that
fraud occurred on 11/2/04. This is a good start to putting back together
what the "Great United" has divided. We are all still Americans. I
really think the 'Sleeping Masses' will wake up. Too bad we have to all
get smacked around though until they do!

[icehenge]

57. LINES OPEN AGAIN!!

Starting ringing there phones.

[johnnie]

58. This caller

Rocky River, Ohio is a very conservative part of Cleveland. This guy was in the place where the machines were maxed out I'm sure.

[we can do it]

59. another genius call

Did you hear the lady calling from Phoenix who was from Ohio? She said why are we maligning Blackwell - he was sworn in so he has to follow the law....ROFLMAO and we use punch cards, IT'S THE TABULATORS STUPID

:crazy: :crazy:

[marions ghost]

60. a good caller

refers people to Conyers website to get background info.

Would be good to call in c-span and give specific website info.

[BernieBear]

61. Keep Calling in Kick

[roenyc]

63. Tubbs is on the line nt
