There are rumors out on the internets that a Democratic Senator or two may stand up tomorrow and challenge the Ohio electoral slate. As I just said to someone in IM, that would be stunning. Not because anyone realistically thinks it will be possible to overturn the election, but because, as others have been writing about quite eloquently (here, here, and here, for starters), our entire electoral process reeks of corruption and fraud and something has got to be done to clean it up. This would be a decent start to drawing more attention to an issue that is more fundamental than the outcome of any particular election.

Along those lines, Washington's Republican secretary of state actually has some principles, it seems.

"There are people who think I should be using the position of secretary of state simply to weigh the scales on the side of my own party. I just don't accept that, and it would not be proper," he said.

"There are some people who have been dismayed that I wasn't a Katherine Harris who took the position, 'I'm a Republican, and by God that comes first.'

Interesting that even Republicans now will openly make reference to the fact there was something quite fishy about what Harris was doing down in Florida in 2000.

(I'm pessimistic that these Senator rumors are true, given what I've learned of the Washington DC Democrats over the past year and half, but one never knows, I suppose. Besides, what have they got to lose?)
