Clark: Help Christine Jennings fight for electoral justice!
Dear Qutz,

While four weeks have passed since the American people
overwhelmingly cast a vote for change by putting Democrats in
charge of both Houses of Congress, there is still a race that
has yet to be conclusively decided that deserves our attention.

Democrat Christine Jennings, who rose from a bank teller at age
17 to become the founding President and CEO of Sarasota Bank, is
locked in a tough recount battle to determine the next
representative of Florida's 13th Congressional district.
Ironically, this is Katherine Harris' old seat.

Recently, the state of Florida certified a 369 vote victory for
Christine's opponent despite the fact that there were serious
problems with the voting machines used in the election. These
problems have raised major questions about the integrity of the
election, and Christine is fighting to make sure every intended
vote is counted.

Please join me in supporting Christine Jennings' fight to ensure
the will of the voters is heard. Help us raise $20,000 for her
"Count Every Vote" fund today!

1. ...
In Christine's home of Sarasota County, election officials have
maintained that an astounding 18,000 voters simply did not vote
in her Congressional race -- a 14% "undervote" that is six times
higher than the undervote rate in the rest of the district. This
statistical aberration, combined with numerous reports of voters
who said they voted for Jennings but didn't see this choice
registered on their voting summary, makes it clear that a new
election or re-vote is the only solution.

Christine has filed suit to contest the election results, and
she will continue to fight back. But she needs help -- click
