Election Irregularities
While I don't expect the outcome to change no matter how many voting irregularities are uncovered, I personally hope there is a continued focus on election related issues, even if it gets loud and fractious. The idea that we should "put this behind us" incentivizes bad behavior in the future and is exactly the attitude vote tamperers are counting on. And I think there is evidence of tampering and manipulation that needs to be scrutinized and publicized, which will only happen if there is sustained interest and political pressure. Hopefully Republicans do not need need to be put on the defensive to engage in debate and assist in the disgorgement of data, but maybe they do.
So many pundits across the political spectrum have so eagerly and vociferously opined about what Kerry did wrong, and why Bush was so appealing, and what everything means, that they are almost as invested as the Republican Party in treating the election outcome as legitimate. Many interests are best served by raising questions and concerns in a measured and temperate manner, but I'd much rather rather have stridency and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories than silence on this issue.
