| The U.S. Congress on Thursday formally certified President Bush (news - web sites) as the victor of the November elections after two Democrats symbolically stalled the event in protest at alleged voting irregularities in Ohio. California Sen. Of course the 3,500 king county voters (washington state GOV race...) who don't exist are not a cause for concern.....move along... nothing to see here.... "This objection does not have at its root the hope or even the hint of overturning or challenging the victory of the president," Tubbs Jones said. Boxer called it a matter of "electoral justice." The rare objection to vote certification, the first filed in decades, forced the House and Senate to halt their joint session, usually a routine and ceremonial affair.

Jackson said that Hillary lied to him when she refused to follow Barbara "whiner" Boxer in protest? |
