Seems like it is up there in Maine:

“As much as we can say in sound science that something is impossible,” Freeman said, “it is impossible that the discrepancies between predicted and actual vote count in the three battleground states of the 2004 election could have been due to chance or random error.”

So, I called Snowe’s office. I told the staff member who answered that I was calling because I was very upset having just read Kennedy’s article and I wanted Sen. Snowe to look into the matter, read the article, call for an investigation. I’m sorry to not be able to quote his answer precisely, but the gist of what he said was, “the article was written by a Kennedy. We wouldn’t pay any credence to that.”

I thought he must be kidding. I said, “I’m not talking about political spin, I’m talking about documented evidence. This Kennedy is not in office. His specialty is environmental law. This is about a threat to our democracy. Not about partisanship.”

He repeated that they would not be interested in anything a Kennedy had to say.

My blood pressure rose. “Are you telling me that if an important message is delivered by a person with the wrong name,” I asked, “you won’t pay it any heed?”

He stuck to his line.

I mentioned that I had attended, just a few days before, a speech by his senator in which she complimented herself for her bipartisanship and accented it as the only way to get the people’s business done. Then, I told him that he should be ashamed of himself for working in a senator’s office and having so little regard for the just functioning of democracy. End of conversation.

Ah, bipartisanship. Smell it!
