Clarification and new actions
In terms of my last email that stated that Kerry was considering unconceding: I got this information from a few trusted sources and I tracked down the original source, a D.C. lawyer, Cynthia Butler. This is what she sent me to explain her reasoning. http://www.moderateindependent.com/v2i21election.htm
Also, Kerry's brother sent out an email saying he was grateful for everyone's concern about fraud and miscounting and says election lawyers are still on the job in Ohio and Florida. He says, "if you have specific factual information about voting problems that could be helpful to the lawyers doing their job, please send it to vri@dnc.org rather than to me."
Here are some new actions that could help uncover fraud and facilitate a recount:
Contact Ohio Secretary of State Blackwell to complain about the new rule that rejects any provisional ballot that doesn't have the voter's birth of date on it. (article here: http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2004/985).
J. Kenneth Blackwell
180 E. Broad St., 16th Floor
Columbus, OH 43215
614-466-3910
Email: blackwell@sos.state.oh.us
In the link above it mentions that an election lawyer for the Democratic Party said that Kerry might ask for a recount of several counties in Ohio that had statistical anomalies. If you want to encourage him to do this or to ask him to do a full recount, you can contact the DNC at 202-863-8000 or http://www.democrats.org/contact/ or contact the Kerry campaign at 202-712-3000 (phone) 202-712-3001 (fax) or http://www.democrats.org/contact/
This is a petition you can sign for this recount http://recountohio.org/
Email your representatives to ask the General Accounting Office to investigate evoting machines
http://www.workingforchange.com/activism/action.cfm?itemid=18055
Email your representatives to ask for voting reform
http://www.workingforchange.com/activism/action.cfm?ItemId=18051
Here is another petition, this one demanding a congressional investigation of the integrity of the voting process
