1. I'd like to, but....

I don't think I'm rich, brave, or smart enough. :(

3. I can see it coming! The MSM is hitting Sen. Obama hard....the polls...

well.....Sen. Obama is really going to need the convention bounce....Sen McSame is the best is regards to conflicts like Georgia/Russia...vote stealing is next. It won't look so obvious with all this lead up to refer back to. If Warren Christopher had had more guts in 2000 we wouldn't be in this mess today. However, now that vote stealing is "allowed" it's just part of the election process. Yes, I would fight it but how does one do that?

7. I'm NOT legitimizing cheating...no way! I'm just saying there has

definitely been a pattern of it and what became of it? Handwringing? That's about all.

5. Or we could just try to steal more of their votes than they steal of ours.

6. I have been very lax...

Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 10:06 AM by stillcool47

about this. Our state uses ballot scan but conducts no standard audit after each election. I know many states have legislated this, and know that I should be writing letters and contacting my Secretary of State on a regular basis. I don't know why, but I too am guilty of waiting until it's too late for anything to be done, before doing something. It's so frigging easy to write a few letters. Thanks for the reminder!
by the way if anyone wants to contact their Secretary of State, this site makes it easy...

8. Me. And we should have a big event at Selma to draw attention.

There's a museum there run by one of the Bloody Sunday marchers. I bet we could arrange a great event and get lots of press. Isn't that a good idea? :hi:

9. What legitimate reason is there for elected dems to not champion the clean voting cause?

But they don't.
