Bill D, yes, we do need to sort the "wheat" from the "chaff," but what we are asking is a THOROUGH INVESTIGATION and ASAP.
First, the longer we wait, the more the media and public will say, "Let it go. It's over."
(We DID that after the 2000 election debacle, on the grounds of "letting the country's divisions heal." Thus, we got even more interference with fair elections in 2002 and now, especially, in 2004.) You've got to do the CHALLENGES NOW and you've got to get the public's attention NOW.

Second, given the closeness of the margin in many races, it's quite possible a timely audit can still produce a fair and just count before January.
