Anyone here live in a state where uncounted votes might make a difference?
Let's record them here to organize and agitate, to put pressure on the black box districts to check their counts against check ins.

We could also pressure states which refuse to count votes because of some artificial threshold set by an opposing election authority, like in Florida with their million plus absentee votes against a Bush lead of only a couple hundred thousand.

Also, I know there are votes there that have been cast out. Let's find them and challenge them to retreive and count them. Anything we can't handle should be referred to the Kerry campaign legal defense team or other election watchdog organizations.

Plenty of time before the electoral college meets for court actions. WE have to take charge of seeing these vote counts through to completion. We promised ourselves that we wouldn't roll over again.

Close states: Bring out your uncounted votes!

2. Do you have any direct actions to report? I got this from today
They promise to update daily. They have a good schedule of protests (most for thru the third).

EVERY VOTE MUST BE COUNTED!
NO DISENFRANCHISEMENT!

It's not over: As of the morning of November 3, 2004, the outcome of the 2004 presidential election has still not been determined, and we must not allow it to be determined until every one of our votes has been counted. The No Stolen Elections! campaign urges you to do whatever you can to ensure that this election is fair. There are as many as 250,000 provisional ballots in Ohio that have not been counted and there are many questions about the integrity of the election, which must be investigated. We urge you to take action today to defend our democracy!

TAKE ACTION ON NOVEMBER 3:

*CALL ELECTION OFFICIALS IN OHIO TO DEMAND THAT ALL VOTES ARE COUNTED. Call the Ohio Secretary of State's office and demand that all legal votes in Ohio, including provisional ballots, be counted.


CONTACT: 614-466-2585

*SUPPORT THE PROTESTS IN OHIO. Many groups in Ohio are going to take to the streets today to demand that all votes in Ohio be counted, to demand that no one be disenfranchised and all voting irregularities be investigated. Tell everyone you know in Ohio to support these efforts, and consider going to Ohio yourself. See the call to action at www.indyvoter.org .

*KEEP ORGANIZING. Organize town hall meetings or other events within the next few days or turn your planned Nov. 3 protests into public meetings to discuss voting irregularities in your community, what happened nationally, and where do we go from here.

NO STOLEN ELECTIONS! ~ Don't mourn, organize!

3. No, this is the first I've heard of anything
like that. With Kerry conceding, I think we're gonna have a helluva time getting people motivated. I will call the SOS Office, though, and keep on calling them. Every provisional vote needs to be counted.

4. If we do manage to turn enough states the addition to the popular vote
will help give some sense of momentum, or at least cut into the mandate argument.
