Interesting in what way?  There's one unsubstantiated claim of electronic 
voting machines in one area that "transferred" an unknown number of votes 
from Kerry to Bush.  The entire rest of the report has to do with 
procedural complaints that have applicability to any security issues that 
I'm aware of.  There's no evidence presented of fraud or malfunction issues 
regarding electronic voting machines other than the single unsubstantiated 
claim mentioned above.

If you're referring to the broader issue of fairness in elections, I'll get 
excited about Conyers' report when the Democrats thoroughly investigate 
Wisconsin and Washington.  Until then, their complaints fall on deaf ears.
