It's not the scandal. It's the cover-up.

Time and time again, this is how it goes down. Maybe we've been looking at this all wrong.

The recounts, while important and wholly worth pursuing in my book, may turn out to be a lost cause if they manage to fix the totals and 3% of precincts.

However, if we keep pressuring them to have to fix these things over and over again, they will keep making mistakes, like this Triad fuck-up that has garnered national attention.

We need to keep pressing for recounts, pressing for explanations, both in Ohio and elsewhere. Every time they are forced to defend this, they make mistakes that can be exploited.

Look at the Volusia mess. If that video ever surfaces, we can force people to take another look there. These things need to be followed up by people who are local.

The opti-scan ballots cannot be fraudulently re-filled in to match the totals. It would take a crew of people YEARS to replace these in the proper precincts. We need to call that bluff.

We need to keep pressuring them. They are on the defensive. The more pressure we put on, the more likely we will find out something that will make a judge rule for a FULL inspection of the ballots.

When that happens, we will have exposed the fraud. We will win.
