This story is still not getting the play I think it deserves. Here's a new AP story about Bev Harris who seems to have taken the lead in trying to publicize the problem.
But really it's too late. What can be done at this point? The fix is already in.
The only thing I can think that might help is for the networks to reinstate exit polls. Sure they can be unreliable, but what else do we have? If the (even admittedly unreliable) exit polls show a huge disconnect with the "official" count it will not prove anything, but it will at least raise some questions that someone will have to address.
The day after the elections it will be too late to raise any of these issues. At that point you will be painted as trying to overturn a valid election.
