I really resent the flame bait thing and accusing me of fanning flames. It was Republican poll watchers that found the possible existing votes on the machines. The purpose of the party poll watchers is to watch for voter fraud or irregularities. They then issue a challenge. The Democrat party sued against the state law in Ohio to try and remove the party poll watchers. The case went to the Court of Appeals and they allowed the poll watchers to stay. Tom Daschle in South Dakota wanted to remove the poll watchers out there and filed suit. The judge that he helped put in the position, heard the case and only ruled in his favor around the edges. But I guess the facts aren't important when you are trying to spread disinformation.
I think it is becoming increasingly clear why the Democrats wanted to bar poll watchers every where possible. We have votes alreay on machines in Pennsylvania. In Ohio we had more voters registered to vote in some counties than there are eligible to vote.
I don't think this is necessarily true if Kerry wins. The Repbulicans generally are not as good as the Democrats at blocking high profile appointments. The Dems successfully blocked many of Bush's appointments during this term even with a minority in the Senate. The Repbulicans on the other hand normally knuckled under to Clinton when he pushed hard enough. Of course it helps when most of the mainstream media parrots the Democrat talking points.
If not CSI we could go Law and Order: cyber crimes unit. They put a former rapper that promoted cop killing as a regular in one version (ice T). Perhaps they could put known hackers on the squad. That would really draw the crowd, well at least a percentage of/.ers.
While the MPAA and RIAA will want to trumpet this as evidence of illegla trading, let's not forget that more and more users are relying upon it for legitimate purposes. I downloaded all of the Slackware discs using bittorrent this time.

I thought it was well known that the official predictor is the wooly bear caterpillar. It's not just for winter prediction any more.
