The Honorable David M. Walker
Comptroller General of the United States
U.S. General Accountability Office
441 G Street, NW
Washington, DC 20548

Dear Mr. Walker:

We write with an urgent request that the Government Accountability
Office

immediately undertake an investigation of the efficacy of the voting
machines and accuracy of reporting of votes in Ohio and Florida.
In particular we are extremely troubled by the following reports,
which we would also request that you review and evaluate for us:

(1) Warren County was locked down for the counting of the votes by
Homeland
Security. Frank Young endorsed that the count be walled off, so as
not to have a problem with the vote count. Rachel Hurtzel(?) told
reporters, they were within their rights to do so. Warren County had
the longest lines, and the last to close. The vote count was NOT
observed. The media was locked out. Erica Solvig, Cincinnati
Enquirer, originally reported this story. Erica Solvig was told that
he was not allowed into the Building during the vote count in Warren
County, because they office had received reports from the FBI and the
Dept of Homeland security stating that the Warren County was under
Terror Alert of 10, on a scale from 1-10. When contacted, the FBI
and the Department of Homeland security deny giving the official of
Warren County any such report.


(2) Broward County, FL, Poll Workers expressed concern that boxes of
Absentee Ballots remained UNCOUNTED in the Central Storage facilities
and
Poll Workers were promptly escorted out of the Supervisors Office by
Security after raising that concern.

(3)In Florida, only the Counties that were counted with the Optic
Scanners showed major inconsistencies between number of registered
voters from each party as compared to the number of votes for the
presidential candidates of each party, all other Counties not counted
with Optic Scanners were normal numbers matching the Democratic areas
and the Republican Areas with no major swings reported.

As concerned citizens, we could ask for nothing less. Time is of the
essence, and we urge you to immediately answer some troubling
questions that we as citizens have.
Thank you for your immediate attention to our request.

Sincerely,

[tmooses]

6. The GAO

Is perhaps the last of the good guy agencies which have uncompromised nonpartisan concern for the people of the United States. However their boss is Congress. When Congress wants to know somthing the GAO has supeona power to get the answer.

THEY ALSO SELF INITIATE INVESTIGATIONS -so ignore the nay sayers below.

The GAO can have researchers out the door in 24 hours.

PS They were stonewalled by Cheney though weren't they.

[PSU84]

3. This won't work.

GAO undertakes investigations only at the request of Congress. They have no legal authority to begin an investigation at public request. Send a letter like this to your Rep. and Senators. It's a waste of time to send it to GAO.

[Karenca]

4. DONE

:dem:

[ROC]

5. At least get the name of the agency right

This idea won't work as PSU84 says.

[donhakman]

7. YOU ARE BOTH 100% INCORRECT

The GAO has the power to investigate under the authorization of self initiation. It is not done that often but is patently untrue that all investigations by the GAO are done soley as a request from Congress.

I only happen to know this since my wife was a GAO investigator.


Do the letter go for it.

If this is not worthy of self initiated investigation
What is?

[donhakman]

8. YES please address it to the General Accounting Office

"Accountibility" is close but no cigar.

[PSU84]

9. Wrong - name has been changed

It is now the Government Accountability Office. Your information is out of date - on several points.

Name ONE GAO "self-initiated" investigation.

[donhakman]

10. a freeper might do somthing like what you are doing

The GAO also self initiates investigations - PERIOD

Much of the Y2K investigations were self initiated
My wife's Medicare part B reserch was self initiated.
In fact more research is self initiated than it looks.

But one can look it up on their website.

There are some things I cn not tell you since
the way it really works is not subject for review in a chat room
such as this.

The letter is still not a bad idea.

11. GIVE ME A BREAK....JUST SEND THE LETTER OR DON'T!

The important thing is that the office get the e-mail......the address is important, but not as important as the e-mail itself. Personally, I don't know what name is corrrect....I was just passing this information along to the DU members incase they wanted to try and make a difference. If you don't want to send the letter that is fine....but many of us do want to try and get this voter fraud thing investigated. The more people we e-mail and put pressure on, the better the chances of that happening. I'm just a stay at home mom with a nursing degree....BUT I THINK I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.....and I won't let anyone tell me I can't.

[donhakman]

12. I think we all deservedly

feel a little testy overall.

We all want adhearence to the truth.

And the truth is the GAO is a very powerful and good organization.

13. Here is another site....if you are interested in making a difference....

<http://www.dtmagazine.com/petitionupdate.html> This is the site that the person who started the 'petition to congress' has.
