Voting Integrity has a new Champeen: Jim Lampley. New post up.
Edited on Thu May-12-05 06:42 AM by Tandalayo_Scheisskop
Excerpt:

"But none of that is necessary, because the entire Edison/Mitofsky report is irrelevant to the argument, given that it is based on the assumption the final official vote tally is accurate. Make no mistake: my argument is that the final official vote tally is anything but accurate, that it is the product of massive vote fraud carried out through the programing of Diebold voting machines and various other machinations aimed at suppressing, destroying or losing Kerry votes. My argument is that what were accurate were the exit polls. As one Ivy League research methodologist has noted, "Apparently the pollsters at Mitofsky and Edison have found it more expedient to provide an explanation unsupported by theory, data or precedent than to impugn the machinery of American democracy."

Pound for pound, one of the scrappiest fighters in his weight class.

1. Jim Lampley is my new hero.
Ain't he a daisy! I've been reading his entries since the Huffington Post went online and they are outstanding. He's armed and ready for a fight.

6. how can we flood Jim with thanks and praise?
Courageous people like this need to know that we really appreciate what they're doing.

I couldn't find an email address for him. anyone have ideas on how we can let him know we really support him?

8. I am not good at
wording them but how about a "show your support" thread, like the I believe thread. Then we can support and motivate them while hopefully encouraging others to speak out.

15. Done.
Except for the permission part.

At this point I believe it's implicit.
