Ohio Vote Protest


When I got off the bus at Lafayette Park today Jesse Jackson was there praying right outside the White House with citizens organized to demonstrate against Ohio and other states' irregular vote count. After the prayer, hundreds of protestors marched down Pennsylvania Ave. through the cold and misty rain to the Capitol Building. The participants demonstration featured prominent activists, speakers, and protest music outside the Capitol to mark the historic[?] event in which Democrats interrupted the vote count and forced a House and Senate discussion on Ohio's irregularities. I am still not entirely sure what was particularly significant about the entire thing.
