SENATE:

Barbara Boxer (CA)

(I have revised this list to include all who voted to Object to the irregularities of Election 2004, but have not removed the names of those who signed the initial objection but failed finally to vote for it -- since I accept that strategic considerations may have lead some who remain among the Cherished to see to it that their righteous objection register on the Record, that an asterisk burn a permanent cigarette hole next to the Boy King's name in the history books, that the debate occur this time around, but then, the outcome a foregone conclusion, went on dirty their hands in the dirty work of representation in a Repugnican era. Clinton's and Obama's nice words weren't enough, though, to earn my devotion on this awful day in the absence of either participation in Boxer's Rebellion or in the final vote.)
