(1) Always.  (I'm reminded of a college buddy of mine who's quote on Facebook read, "I fuck on the first date."  Hilarious guy.  Those were the days.)

(2) I'm not sure where we stand.  Upthread it's noted that we have different totals from the SoS.  However, these could very well be the result of that last 4% of precincts in rural areas that hadn't reported by the end of the night on Tuesday, in addition perhaps to absentees.  The fraud took place in high-population counties, Hillsborough -- Manchester and Nashua (!) -- and Rockingham -- Exeter.  I don't buy that the bit on the percentages not being flipped, because those were verified by many, many watchdog sites and only changed later.

We need this all in a short, succinct message that I can pass on to K for him to give to the Secretary of State tomorrow.  I'm taking a stab at it, but having trouble getting my thoughts together, so it might be a good idea for someone with a bit less adrenaline pumping.

I'm very glad to hear John Zogby released his raw exit poll data.  Analysis has already been done on that by a third party, comparing it with the results, and it serves as more evidence of something funny going on.
