HELP! - Are there any threads on Elector profiles for each State?
I received an Action Alert from the http://www.Nov3.US website.

The first action item is to identify the Electors in your state. A good deal of research is required in a short amount of time.
Does anyone know of a thread or other forum where this work is being collaborated and/or collected?

I have started researching the Electors in NC and I see no reason for someone else to do the same thing again.

STRATEGIC ACTION FOR AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON THE 2004 ELECTION CERTIFICATION PROCESS
& for shining a light on voting rights violations

Outlined here are campaigns to impact three parties to the election count verification process:

- The Electoral College vote on December 13th in each state (mostly at state capitols)
- Congressional certification of the Electoral College vote, Jan. 6th, U.S. Congress
- Secretaries of State who acted in partisan and potentially unethical or illegal ways

-snip-
Target 1) : Electoral College Delegates

Goals:

• Get electoral college delegates to use their role to create
publicity for election irregularities/voting rights violations, either
through public statements or by protest during the actual voting process
• Create visibility for election problems
• Gum up and ideally postpone the process as a protest

Steps:

1. Identify the Electoral College delegates from your state (check
out the Secretary of State website)
2. Research where they meet and rules for their voting process. The
likely voting date is December 13th.
3. Research who these delegates are and, to the extent possible,
what are their interests (it may not be possible with most pf them to find
this out in the limited time left).
4. Publicize their names to see if anyone in your networks knows or
share interests with any of them
5. Review voting rules for Electoral College electors (Secretary of
State website, or other state regulations) for possible ways to use them to
raise issues. Examples: Can riders be attached to the vote? Can an
elector table or ask for a postponement? Can he/she filibuster? Is some
kind of quorum required? etc. Think of a range of possible actions a
sympathetic delegate (likely not a Republican) can take- from non-intrusive
to very obstructionist.
6. If you can identify which delegates are both most likely to be
angry about election irregularities and most willing to step outside of
expected role as delegates, contact them first (don’t overlook the power of
a profound patriotic commitment to the right to vote or a someone with a
stubborn commitment to their values)
7. If you find a delegate who is interested but needs more
information, put together information that is publicly available on the
internet about election irregularities/voting rights violations and get it
to them.as quickly as possible.
8. Ask if they would be willing to help publicize these
irregularities/violations and help make sure steps are taken to make sure
they are not repeated See if they would be willing to be part of a press
conference, for instance, at the gathering site before the vote, and would
they ask other delegates to join them?
9. If they seem very interested and more activist, ask if they might
be willing to actually use the delegate vote process to highlight the issue
­ review vote process and discuss means of delay, attaching stipulations or
objections, etc. If you have success in finding one or more such
delegates, work with them to provide materials, perhaps try to bring in a
legal expert to help frame the issues (a creative one), make media
contacts, send out press releases, etc.


Note: I have sent emails to ben@nov3.us and Grace C Ross at econhmnrts@aol.com as detailed in the letter but they have not responded.

The entire text of the Alert can be found here:

Thanks in advance for your response!
