"What right does this Administration have to lecture Ukraine when Bush came to office in a non-violent coup d'etat in 2000, and when numerous reports document that the 2004 election was marred by GOP voter suppression and intimidation tactics, flawed voting equipment and unexplained discrepancies between exit polls and official results in key swing states?"-from Editor's Cut, by The Nation's Editor, Katrina vanden Heuvel. Update: Learn more about "Doublethink" here in "Why Bush's America Feels Like Orwell's 1984. Another take on the USA-Ukraine connection here in, "If The Ukraines Can Demonstrate in the Streets Over a Stolen Election, So Can We." For the Seattle P-I, it's all about the money in, "Reed to certify Rossi as winner of governor's race." They don't even tell us why "Gregoire maintains that there are too many unanswered questions about the election to concede." The Seattle Times focuses on write-in votes that cost Gregroire dearly and other quirks in the process, in "Sims got hundreds of votes that didn't count." Ignored by almost everybody, "Greens file for recount in NV, NM." Update: "Voter fraud in the Ukraine? Give me a break. It has been a month now and we still don't have a clear count of the votes for our own presidential race from the state of Ohio."-from today's New York Daily News column, "Ohio tally fit for Ukraine." Another variation on the same theme: "If U.S. officials who are complaining about election fraud in Ukraine applied the same standards in Ohio, then our own presidential election certainly was stolen."-from the Salon article, "Democracy inaction." From Kos, "Compelling: Ohio recount: Stealing votes in Columbus-- INVESTIGATE DAMSCHRODER."Newsclip Autopsy: "3 excerpts from mainstream news sites reveals that the big news organizations are still under-reporting the Ohio recount efforts."
