Er no.  You completely misread my post.  I am trying, perhaps clumsily, to
say that there are *actual* problems of voter fraud out there, and we should
concentrate on those (do a Google search for "2004 voter fraud" to see what
I mean) as well as any new cases that show up that have merit.  We should
not be reactionaries (to borrow a word from a recent email that I received) and
spread rumor about nonissues.  So, I think that you and I are in agreement.
Having said that, I assume that your further comments below no longer
apply...or maybe they do.
