One More Day

Ok one more day until this LOOOOOONG week is over! Today Senator Barbara Boxer joined the Conyers and Tubbs Jones electoral challenge.

Congress Formally OKs Bush Election

And yes the link title says that the election was formally accepted. After the challenge was brought upon the Ohio electoral vote tally, both houses of Congress had a debate.
"In a drama that was historic if not suspenseful, Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., formally protested that the Ohio votes 'were not, under all known circumstances, regularly given.' That, by law, required the House and Senate to convene separately and debate the Ohio irregularities."

More tomorrow, I promise.
