Vote Fraud Summary from Green Party mailing list (please forward)

[Middle Finger Bush]

I have been quite surprised to find out how few people I know are aware of
the allegations of voting fraud, let alone the Green party's Ohio recount.
This is because the issue of election fraud has been covered only in passing
(and almost always to debunk it) by the mainstream media. Consequently, I
have been emailing everyone I know with information about the voting fraud
and the recount. Please contact everyone you know about this. Democracy is
too important to leave it to our corporate media. Below is a summary of some
useful information.

"It's not who votes that counts. It's who counts the votes." -Joseph Stalin
