5. Are you familiar with google

The advice above should be helpful.

Some of this info should be available on the SoS's websites -- but if not, you ought to be able to get phone numbers (if you're willing to call -- OR you could post them here for others to make a few calls.

So google what the above poster suggested, or "New Mexico Secretary of State" and the like. That ought to bring up the SoS's sites as one of the top results in the google search.

6. Some work already done -- see this (from orig. thread) ---

Post #7 - Roger_Otip
some dates here

December 13, 2004 - Meeting of the Electors. The electors in each state cast their votes on "Certificates of Vote," sign the certificates, and forward them to the President of the Senate, the Archivist of the United States, and other federal and state officials. December 27, 2004 is the deadline for receipt of the Certificates of Vote.

December 22, 2004 - Deadline for reciept of electoral votes by the National Archives and Records Commision.

January 6, 2005 - Counting of Electoral Votes: Congress meets in a joint session to count the electoral votes. Any member of Congress may challenge any electoral vote. If this occurs, the House and Senate must vote on whether to accept or reject the vote. A simple majority vote of both chambers is required to reject an electoral vote.

---------------------

So, check the orig. thread. That info helps a LOT, but there's still other dates that are needed.

3. Here's the text of her post

I hope I'm not pushing my luck by having two research threads up at once. Here's what's going on. I'm working very closely with a group of lawyers, writers, funders, PR people, activists and others to pull together the huge amount of resources to handle a high-powered recount in Ohio in support of the Cobb/Badnarik filing.

Since DU is research central for BBV, I offered to post requests for several key pieces of research. The work I'm asking for will play a major role in making the recount a success instead of another coverup ... which is no doubt Blackwell's intent.

Here's the request. After the dates are filled in, could someone please volunteer to put this together and either post it here or PM me with the results?

Here's what's needed:

Key dates for the following:
* deadline for state selection of electors,
* final date for electors to meet in all states,
* date electors vote,
* date electors votes from state must be submitted to Congress,
* date electoral votes submitted to Congress,
* date Congress votes to accept electoral votes.




AND deadlines for Key states, incl. Ohio, NH, and Florida plus New Mexico and Colorado if possible, as follows:

* Actual dates for the above activities in each state. (Most will probably be the same as the federal deadlines.)

* Date election must be certified in each state.

* Date recounts must be completed in each state, if there is such a deadline.

Thank you, thank you, thank you DU patriots!!

I posted this in the General Discussion request

The NARA Electoral College site is an absolute goldmine.

Instructions to State Officials on the electoral process

State by state election info

8. Right -- people should probably move this to that thread

Amazing work, Oreo. I just made the suggsetion that you and the other DUer who posted those links team up -- but if several people team up to take some states, this could be licked in a few more minutes. Any takers? (If so, move on over to the GD thread.)
