I’m not ready to concede the election. There’s just too much weird shit going on, and it seems like there are enough questions about results in Florida and Ohio — maybe elsewhere — to do more with an investigation than write a screenplay for a future Oliver Stone movie. While Atrio is set on irregularities in Ohio, my two concerns are:

1. Exit polls just aren’t that wrong. Any statistics expert is going to point out that it’s highly unlikely that all of the polls were so far off. I wonder if there’s a statistical study on the probability of the exit polls being so far off from the actual results … I bet it’s pretty low.

2. Lessig points out that Democratic counties in Florida seem to have defected to Bush in this election, while voting Democrat on the rest of their ballot. Do you know a single Bush-Democrat crossover voter?

I know Kerry and Edwards have given up, likely because both candidates want to run in 2008. I know the media has packed up and gone back to writing hit stories on college students who stole the new Green Day album online. I know the president says he has a mandate. But there’s still work here to be done, if, for no other reason, to prevent future problems.
