Strategy to prevent vote fraud: CONYERS, Promise Hearings on FRAUD!
Here is the best strategy I can come up with to discourage individual GOPers and politicos in precints around the country from commiting acts of election fraud this November. Since we all know that Al Gonzales and the Department of Justice no longer enforce the Voting Rights Act, John Conyers should go on record now as promising to hold hearings on any election fraud that occurs in this, 2008 election. This will be a first order of business for his committee in the new Democratic House.

The GOPers have gotten used to being able to do whatever they want. They figure they will not be prosecuted. If they are worried about a Congressional investigation, they make think twice about sticking white pastied over a legal Democratic vote or spoiling a Democratic ballot or inserting a virus in an E-voting machine or locking the doors during the vote count.

Do not promise hearings on 2000 or 2004. That will only make them work harder to steal this election. Promise hearings on anyone who commits fraud in this election.

I will bet that a lot of election supervisors suddenly decide to play fair. The House race is looking pretty good for Dems, no matter what the GOP does. This might help with the Senate races.

1. Sounds like great minds think alike...

Democrats should be threatening hearings after the election with investigators and subpoenas aimed at anyone who tries to steal even one vote, in one precinct, in one race in these coming days.

Democrats should be mobilizing hundreds and thousands of lawyers from the firms large and small, from the law schools and halls of academia, far more powerful than anything being done now, far more similar to the Freedom Summers in the 1960's than the losing tactics of recent years, airlifting them on Election Day into key states and precints where trouble is most likely.

Democrats should be prepared to call for grand juries and prosecutions in trouble spots in a moment's notice getting ready now, today, this minute, in jurisdictions with a history of trouble.
