History of the Debate Over the 2004 Election
(excerpt)
After email conversation with Mitofsky, and studying the slides which Mitofsky presented at the October American Statistical Association Fall Conference, and re-reading and noticing how difficult our "History.." was to understand, I've rewritten it slightly.
A very critically important task that each and every one of you can do to help restore democratic elections, is to educate all our politicians and candidates not to concede elections ever -- until after obtaining and analyzing their own detailed vote count data to detect possible vote miscounts.
This "History..." is perfect to pass on to politicians, press, and others by sending them links to it, and printing copies and mailing or taking them a copy.

(This history makes clear that presidential elections are not the only races being miscounted.)
I also highly recommend Mark Crispin Miller's latest book, "Fooled Again" which is available in book stores.
Here are links to contact your officials:

US House

State Legislatures

State Election Officials http://electionarchive.net/public/ucv_select_info.php
Even City Officials may be interested and definately hit up all candidates.
Thank you for your patriotism.
Time table:
In December NEDA will finish and release its Ohio exit poll analysis. If the national election data archive were fully funded, these types of analyses could be automated with statistical programming.
In January, I will focus on completing phase I of the public national election data document archive and asking foundations for funds to hire fulltime programming staff. Any help with that fundraising task beginning in January will be appreciated. Please remind me again if you've previously told me that you could help with fundraising or PR because I'm forgetful.
Thank you very much everyone. I hope that we can convince more people to join us in fighting to restore American democracy because every other issue depends on it.
Warm Regards,
Kathy Dopp
