14 broken machines? 11,000 votes, later reduced to 8,300 votes? Shift to Bush? What happened here? From what I gather, they use touch screen.

1. Cibola County

Hello,
I wanted to just let you know that the area in question is the Laguna & Acoma Pueblos (Native American Pueblos). What is disturbing of course are the 14 voting machines that "broke". I would like to know what it did to the numbers. It was so important for the Native American to get out and vote as their Health care is at risk with the Bush Admin. Clinics could be closed and the hours of operation reduced. They are already suffering terribly for good quality healthcare. I will forward this report to GAO so they can look into this issue. At this point, Kerry is ahead, which is good, but no final totals until 11/23/04. Grrrrr

4. There was a report back on Nov 3-4

of the wrong writing utensils being used in Native American communities in NM. These were in optical scan precincts.

2. Important... please read!!!

I can't start a thread. Just got this urgent email. Please help get the word out for the NM provisional vote count... HURRY!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS AN ALERT

In Bernalillo County, thousands of provisional and other paper ballots are waiting to be counted in a warehouse at 2400 Broadway SW, a couple of blocks south of Gibson. There, minimally paid workers from the precincts work in pairs opening the sealed ballots, to read and tally them.

Party volunteers are needed to be present as observers and to keep tally of the presidential vote of each ballot as it is opened. The totals will be compared with the official precinct tallies. Training is minimal and provided on the spot. The process is boring but essential to keep the count honest and dependable.

One does not need to be a resident of Bernalillo County to participate. Help is desperately needed, and the deadline to complete the count is this Friday night.

Volunteers are needed from 8 AM to 8 PM from now through Friday. Usually observers volunteer for two or three hours at a time. To find out more about participating as a Democrat observer call Marci at 270-2526 or simply show up at Warehouse H, 2400 Broadway SW.
