I'm numb. Speechless. Not because of anything in the news: I finally had that damn molar taken out, and my mouth is full of gauze and lovely novacaine.
But the news is pretty damn startling. The Government Accounting Office has finally decided to investigation the many reports of "irregularities" with the electronic vote. See also Judy Woodruff's report.
Maureen Farrell has written a fine piece on the media reaction to the growing academic consensus that the official count does not reflect the will of the electorate. She directs our attention to yet another academic assessment by David Dill of Stanford.
Bev Harris, at this writing, has not yet made the promised "significant" announcement. When she does, I hope to offer a few comments.
Remember Dr. Steven Freeman? The one who said that the exit poll discrepancy in a mere three states was a 250,000-to-one shot? He has a new, updated version of his paper out.

The link to the Freeman paper isn't working for me. I went and found it somewhere else, and he's cut the odds down to 662,000-to-one. That's not quite as astounding as 250,000,000-to-one, but it's still ridiculously improbable.
Can the results of the provisional ballots be used to support exit polls which showed Kerry leading Bush in Ohio?
Some not-so-great news, today. "The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections voted Monday to reject one out of three of the 24,472 provisional ballots cast in the Nov. 2 election."
