> Electors across US break traditional pro forma ritual to use electoral college to protest election

I think we all need to realize we are talking about two separate issues: 1) Can the election be hacked/rigged? and 2) Was the election hacked/rigged?
The probelm is that issue number 1 may be true. You can go to the webiste "dirtyhacks" (if it is still there) and, you too, can learn how to hack into Diebold software (that counts votes in some parts of the country.) And there are many up and coming hackers that talk about being patriotic and hack the next election away from the neo-cons. Does anybody really want this?
The second issue is totally separate: Was the election hacked? There is a Petition to Contest the Election filed with the Ohio Supreme Court that lays out many of the allegations that have been brought out since the election. The problem is whether they can prove these allegations. I’ve been following the story rather closely and there is ample circumstantial evidance of broad election fraud and direct evidence of localized isolated election fraud. This is going to be interesting as a lot of mainstream people are actively involved in the investigation. Will they turn up more evidence? And meanwhile, there are obstruction of Justice issues coming out the recount.
Given both issues. I think we all need to concentrate on the first so the second never happnes.
