Finally, some movement in the right direction! Senator Barbara Boxer of California signed the Representives' objection challenging the results of Ohio's presidential vote. Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones delivered the objection, which will now force the House and Senate to debate the objection. Watch the video clip.
A member of the House and a member of the Senate have not stood up together to object to a state's electoral college votes since 1877. Read Michael Moore's letter, "In The Clearing Stands a Boxer", reporting on the event.

i am so sorry that you are a liberal.

You're pretty judgmental. How's that working for you? I'm not sorry to be liberal at all, and I have no opinion of your politics. I have friends and family members that aren't liberal and their opinions on politics do not keep me from being a friend or family to them.
But the key point about this issue is that they're forcing a discussion about possible wrong doing in Ohio and ensuring that people's rights to vote were not tampered with. Americans have fought hard for the right to vote. This is what is at stake here and it's not a matter of left or right. It's a matter of protecting the ideals of democracy.
Thanks for visiting.
