SECAUCUS -- A quick and haplessly generic answer now to the 6,000 emails and the hundreds of phone calls.
Firstly, thank you.
Secondly, we will indeed be resuming our coverage of the voting irregularities in Ohio and Florida -- and elsewhere -- on this evening's edition of Countdown {8:00 p.m. ET}. The two scheduled guests are Jonathan Turley, an excellent professor of law at George Washington University, and MSNBC analyst and Congressional Quarterly senior columnist Craig Crawford.
For Jonathan, the questions are obvious: the process and implications of voting reviews, especially after a candidate has conceded, even after a President has been re-elected. For Craig, the questions are equally obvious: did John Kerry's concession indeed neuter mainstream media attention to the questions about voting and especially electronic voting, and what is the political state of play on the investigations and the protests.
Phase Two, in which Doris gets her oats...
Electronic voting angst (Keith Olbermann)
NEW YORK - Bev Harris, the Blackbox lady, was apparently quoted in a number of venues during the day Monday as having written "I was tipped off by a person very high up in TV that the news has been locked down tight, and there will be no TV coverage of the real problems with voting on Nov. My source said they've also been forbidden to talk about it even on their own time."
I didn't get the memo.

I don't read Congressional Quarterly, and so I don't know Craig Crawford, but I can tell you Jonathan Turley is no slouch. I've read numerous articles he's written, and I've seen him on TV news shows both on CBS and NBC. Whatever they say, the fact that someone of Turley's standing is discussing this means attention, attention, attention. It sure would be great to have this administration thrown in jail. Leave me my fantasy for a while, will ya?
