To the Editor:
      I believe that John Kerry should reconsider his concession in light of  mounting allegations of fraud and abuse in the presidential election in the United States. In many states and especially in the swing states of Florida and Ohio, thousands of affedavits have been filed regarding voting irregularities and an outright effort by partisan election officials to surpress the vote. There is already a  recount underway in Ohio and if Kerry withdrew his concession, his action would add legitimacy and weight to the proceedings in such a way that the mainstream media would be forced to report on the story .  So far, inexplicably, they have basicaly refused to cover it.  If they did, and if the American people were informed about what could amount to massive election fraud in election 2004, we might see them spilling into the streets the way people  in the Ukraine have. They might decide not to tolerate the assult on their democracy that a rigged election represents.
