Daily Voting News - 15 December 2004

A busy, busy day again today. We have recount news from Ohio, New Mexico, Washington, and Alaska. There are also the all too regular reports of what may prove to be fraudulent activity on some peoples part. Note the change in some news reports now. Where we were “activists” or even “conspiracy theorists” the title has now changed. In recent days we are being called “dissidents”.
