Republicans Examine Hanging Chads in 2000
It began on November 7th of 2000, when the doors were closed
and computers in the nation's polling places had begun to declare who had

her loss forever lamented. She made a last request: That her seat not be
filled until after our forthcoming choice of president in November
will have been made.
I fear that this request will be ignored.
