I went on record on the DNC Report and got an excellent response (See link and screenshot).

1/2 the report was on the scandal of voter suppression and problems with machines--that was excellent

1/2 of the report was devoted to an obtuse disection of the Ohio vote to prove we lost. That was pathetic.

The 1/2 that was actionable is doing what? I don't know. They don't talk about it. They're not notifying the troops. We don't have a long time before the electoin.

The 1/2 proving we lost Ohio should have been dumped and replaced with:

--"all the evidence herein raises serious questions about the election in Ohio and, worse, serious questions about the outcome."

--a check list for Democratic committees to implement to prevent, spot, and act on election fraud.

Let’s Get Ready to RUMBLE!!! DEAN to Focus on Election Fraud: OH & FL

Let’s Get Ready to RUMBLE!!!DEAN to Focus on Election Fraud: OH & FL.!!!

Mainline Democrats haven’t talked about election fraud. There’s been a self-imposed black out on the issue. Things changed in a big way, at last weeks DNC meeting, June 13, 2005. Howard Dean spent considerable time talking about voting rights issues – voter suppression, problems with machines, and the general right to vote denied to many Democrats..

Dean’s key points were:

The DNC is taking voting rights very seriously;
DNC will start by focusing on 2004 Ohio and Florida where the worst abuses took place;
Dean mentioned key DNC staff working on voting rights/election fraud issues (Eric Holder, Arlene Meyerson, Rolanda Rios, & Paul Iasaki); and,
He announced a lawyer’s steering committee on voting issues as well.

Please note Eric Holder, in charge of this issue for Dean at the DNC is a former highly placed Clinton DOJ attorney and regarded as a legal heavyweight.

Dean made related remarks at aJune 12th Rainbow PUSH Town Hall Meeting on Re authoring the 1965 Voting Rights Act. DUer GettysbergII was at the meeting and reports:

“The most important statement I believe Dean made was to tell us to be prepared for a bombshell of a report the Democrats should be releasing in the next 10 days or so that documents the widespread voter suppression and fraud last November in Ohio particularly and the country in general. … Dean assured everyone that the Democrats will be ready for a serious legal tussle if necesary in 2006.”


It's time that they follow through.
