Do we have a chance in hell OUR votes will be counted?
This is what eats at me like a cancer. I can't stomach the thought of another stolen election. Four more years of the Bu$h dictatorship is more than I could possibly take.

:argh:

1. There are a lot of good folks working on that right now...
It lurkes in the back of my mind too. I don't think it is being taken seriously with the state officials just yet....The John-Hopkins report was a motivator. It cost money to change the plans in place and states are broke as it is .....I don't know to be honest with ya...

2. I'm more scared now than I was in 2000......
right before the "election". After finding out what the repukes did to steal it then, and now this....I am really scared they will get by with rigging it again. I mean,who will have the balls to stand up to them and fight another stolen election when they didn't fight the last one? :scared: :scared: :scared:

3. Diebold's working overtime to steal it
The CEO wrote a friggin' FUNDRAISING letter on behalf of Bush stating he is looking forward to delivering Ohio for Bush.

We need to scream about this far and wide.

5. Yeah, now that we're on to them they'll be even more sneaky
We got to make sure we get the democratic politicians active on election day. You know a senator swings some weight. For example, they could probably break up a road block that just happened to be checking licenses on election day.

6. Not Alone
You have plenty of company, I'm sure. And people at work can't understand why the hell I seem preoccupied and distant, they simply don't see it as problem.
While I see it as the most important issue this country will face in this century. The future of democracy hinges on this one lone issue. Will my vote count?

8. All correct votes will be counted.
All incorrect votes will be not-counted.

Voting in wartime is a heavy responsibility, and terrible consequences may ensue if too many citizens vote the wrong way. We know you wouldn't want that troubling your conscience, so....

All necessary steps to prevent your casting the wrong vote have been taken, so you may have the utmost confidence on Election day that you have done the right thing.

Thank you for your concern.

7. Not unless you follow this program:
Lots of poll watchers.
A Notary Public outside the polls (each one)
Taking sworn affidavits:
"I swear i did NOT vote for Bush.."

that gives the legal leverage to get an honest vote count when the machines' pre-programmed totals exceed the actual votes cast.

Proof!

prove X number of people did not vote for Bush-
X+fraudulent number are claimed to have voted for Bush
total of those who did not vote for Bush is artificially low-

Proof that FRAUD was present and grounds for a court ordered actual vote count.
by humans...not pre-programmed machines!

11. It shouldn't be hard to come up with the money
to do two elections at once.
