our local progressive talk station changed suddenly to Xmas music - for good, we dont have prog talk anymore - never mind that Madison WI was one of the highest revenue progressive station in US.

It was 2004 when I first came across du as I was trying to make sense out of that election - this is where I learned all about election integrity issues - all the ways votes could be suppressed or outright stolen. Not only did I learn about what went on in Ohio 2004 in great detail, bu election anomalies of all sorts throughout the yrs.. Not only articles but many first hand reports from polling places... observations from people like OP re: all the ways this just dOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE. I seem to remember people working together on collecting data & screen shots of stuff (its been awhile so I dont recall for what purpose).

No, I dont think its an accident that du was taken down when it was. If someone was wanting to cut off communications between election integrity "geeks" like us - wouldnt this be one of the first places youd target?
