Will Democrats challenge disenfranshisement schemes in 2004?

[noiretextatique]

or will they cave again, like they did in 2000?

1. if this issue was a factor in 2000

why does nader generate so much heat...and barely a peep about this?

[MasonJar]

2. I won't.

[noiretextatique]

3. me neither...that's 5 of us

per the results thus far...

[Touchdown]

4. I think it's up to all of us.

I know I'm a democrat, so I guess this makes it my responsibility as well.:thumbsup:

[noiretextatique]

5. sure, it's up to all of us

i don't know if you remember the atomosphere during the 2000 "crisis"...it was like people were *waiting* for some leadership. and we got..."i strongly disagree."

i don't think we'll be *waiting* in 2004.

6. other

the majority of the dem party will not challenge such anti-democratic schemes because they too are bought and paid for. there will be a few exceptions, thoes dems will be worthy of praise.

7. like the CBC in 2000?

if that is the case...we will know who to blame when the election is stolen...again.

8. cbc?

9. Congressional Black Caucus

:kick: the people who tried to stop the election theft.

10. perhaps the response here is an indication

of why these schemes are such a safe bet for the GOP.

11. We need to.

I advocate that we go door-to-door in Dem strongholds and give-out refrigerator magnets with a 1-800 number on them. Why magnets? People keep them in an easy-to-find place!

The 1-800 number would be for several reasons:
1) finding a polling place
2) voter registration information
3) reporting voter irregularities

We should consider this.. it wouldn't be that expensive..

12. this is a great idea

and i do think it will take grassroots efforts like this, and the BBV efforts to make sure the powers that be pay attention this time.
