Brainstorming 2006 -- Pre-election requests for ballot book reviiews
I'm concerned about 2006 because Krugman and everyone else who says this is right: They cannot afford to lose congress because there will be investigations that probably send people to jail. Therefore, they'll do anything they can to make sure they don't lose. They've had lots of practice 2000, 2002 and 2004. They're pretty good at it.

We need to have pre-emptive strategies in place including publicity, pressure by the Democrats and independents, and specific techniques.

How about this: In every House district, file a request with the Boards of Education BEFORE the election stating the request for a ballot book review to reconcile votes reported with registered voters enrolled to vote as per the ballot book verification. That would send a powerful message to the BoE's -- we're watching and might cut off one source of fraud -- more votes reported than voters.

After the election requests are useful but troublesome since some boards get nasty. Before the election requests would need a response, the response is subject to scrutiny and reporting to the public/media, and we'd send a message.

Any thoughts on if this is a good idea and how to do it consistently so the message is out.

3. Great Idea! This should be done in as many places as possible
Is there anyone out there who has done this before that can shed light on how to go about this and what type of resistance there might be?
