YEE-HAAAA! WHOOPEE! Got A Call Last Night To Help As A

[ChiciB1]

representative to oversee the elections here in my District. District 13, formerly of The Witch Cruella! There were approximately 18,600 votes not recorded for the seat that Cruella just gave up to run for senator!

While this county has always been very "red" the county voted for Davis over Crist for Governor which indicates that is was voting MORE for Democrats than Repukes. Vern Buchanan decided he won by anywhere from 364 to 373 votes depending on who is reporting it, but most people here feel he actually DIDN'T win. Anyway, we are slated to have at least TWO recounts, but that may change because there is a possibility that we can get more information from "screen recapturing" on the ES&S Electronic machines that had NO PAPER TRAIL!! Our paper trail initiative passed by a large margin and they tried to keep that off the ballot too! Despite our local Supervisor of Election and her "rantings" she finds her back against the wall on this one, and it's about time. This isn't the first time she's been in the middle of controversial decisions. I think Cruella et al must have given her quite a few pointers from time to time! She's really a piece of work!

I'm going to orientation tonight and the recount will start on Wednesday. I'll probably have more information after Wednesday once we see how the process will proceed!

I'm so EXCITED and am looking forward to being part of the "over-site" process for local Democrats!

Just had to share!

9. The Only "Chad" I Think I'll Eye-Ball Would Be My Son!

His name is Chad! How ironic, huh???

4. Holy cow, great -- but hey, what's "screen recapturing"?

Does that mean vapor votes aren't exactly vapor?

5. Looks like this is the guy you'll be working with?

6. Awesome, I trust the recount is now in good hands...How do they

plan to recount the electronic votes? I had understood this was impossible to do? I guess you will let us know...

8. I Will Update When I Get More Information & I MUST Say That I'm

not SURE what "screen recapturing" is. But the fact that we got THIS far is pretty telling and Jennings isn't giving up without a HARD fight!

I will be looking VERY closely at what will be going on, and while I will be objective and not an agitator, if I see anything funny or overly partisan, I'm not too shy about speaking up and making my voice heard.

We are treading on new ground here and tonight's orientation will be helpful, but people must understand how very partisan Kathy Dent IS! She didn't even want a paper trail initiative to be VOTED on here and fought hard against it. This is the SECOND time these people are being taken to court within 6 months regarding Election Issues.

And that guy doesn't seem to be all that open minded, but I have a few buttons I could bring along and wear if permitted. Somehow, I don't think that WILL be permitted, but I've always advocated a "kill 'em with kindness" type of activism. An activism that is assertive and strong, but leaves your opposition unable to paint you as "out of control!"

We shall see very soon how this goes down. For now... I'm just glad I'm getting in to "eye-ball" it!

7. I do not understand how do you "recount"

the Touchscreens will always total out the same :shrug:

10. I'm Not Sure About This Either.... But Most Of Us Saw How Easily

machines could be hacked, and most of us know they have "memory cards" so perhaps there is something to this. Even "talk" about screen recapturing is a victory to some extent simply by them saying it will be tried.

Now, do I really and truly "trust" this will be done completely fairly? I can't answer that right now. I will just have to see for myself what takes place. If it don't walk like a "duck" or talk like a "duck" I think some of us might pick up on it.

This group may just be "talking" a good talk here, trying to appear bi-partisan, but I can assure you as one who has lived here throughout ALL the Election Fraud, it's not so easy to pull the wool over our eyes without some real clarity as to what and how they intend to prove that Buchanan actually won.

As I said, that we've gotten this far IS a big step forward in THIS county. And it HAS made National News!
