Hi All,

communities interested in Propositions 72 (paid health benefits for employees at
companies like Wal-Mart), Proposition 66 (change the so called "Three Strikes"
Law) to:

Rallly 11-15-2004, 4:00 p.m. @ the L.A.Co. Registrar/Recorder's Office, 12400

call,fax,e-mail the County Registrar Recorder Connie Mccormack. L.A. Co. Board

The Theme is " Count All The Votes & Monitor the Vote Count".

There is about 2 million known absentee and provisional uncounted votes. The
vote count is going up as counties report more uncounted votes daily.
Proposition 66 is losing by about 500,000 Statewide and about 200,000 votes in
L.A. County to date. Proposition 72 by behind by about 120,000 votes Statewide.

1. I'd like to trigger a recount in Irvine
Nader is paying the starter for a recount in one state.

Badnarik and Cobb are in Ohio and, I think, Florida.


I hope these recounts will end up in court. I anticipate that after the recount is paid for, it will quickly become apparent that a recount is impossible in some places--because of the paperless systems. At that point, it will end up in court and the court will have to rule something.

I don't know what that something is, but if I can somehow trigger a small recount in Irvine (where it's hugely electronic w/o paper), the courts here and the legal scholars in the UC's and private Uni's could likely take it to the top. The idea would be to force paper trails through the judicial process.

Sometimes people call this judicial activism. But there is a bill Congress to mandate paper trails (or was when the show I am currently watching on Free Speech TV was filmed). It would be interesting to see how the bill fares. If the republican controlled Congress fails to address this issue, that is quite telling their involvement via complicitness, at the least. It's telling to me, but not proof, I'll admit.

But I wouldn't call judical actions 'judicial activism' in this case, I would call it 'checks & balances.'


If anyone has any input for me on how to get rolling, I'd like to hear it.
