Help Christine Jennings Fight for Electoral Justice - from WesPAC

From securingamerica.com:

While four weeks have passed since the American people overwhelmingly cast a vote for change by putting Democrats in charge of both Houses of Congress, there is still a race that has yet to be conclusively decided that deserves our attention.

Democrat Christine Jennings, who rose from a bank teller at age 17 to become the founding President and CEO of Sarasota Bank, is locked in a tough recount battle to determine the next representative of Florida's 13th Congressional district.

Ironically, this is Katherine Harris' old seat.

Recently, the state of Florida certified a 369 vote victory for Christine's opponent despite the fact that there were serious problems with the voting machines used in the election. These problems have raised major questions about the integrity of the election, and Christine is fighting to make sure every intended vote is counted.

Please join me in supporting Christine Jennings' fight to ensure the will of the voters is heard. Help us raise $20,000 for her "Count Every Vote" fund today!

In Christine's home of Sarasota County, election officials have maintained that an astounding 18,000 voters simply did not vote in her Congressional race -- a 14% "undervote" that is six times higher than the undervote rate in the rest of the district. This statistical aberration, combined with numerous reports of voters who said they voted for Jennings but didn't see this choice registered on their voting summary, makes it clear that a new election or re-vote is the only solution.

Christine has filed suit to contest the election results, and she will continue to fight back. But she needs help -- click here to contribute to her campaign's recount fund today!

After what we saw in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, I've worked to make election integrity a top priority. Given the statistical discrepancies between undervotes in Sarasota County and the rest of the 13th District, coupled with reports of voting machine error, this race may represent a worst case scenario for those of us who feared something like this was bound to happen eventually.

In this election, it seems reasonable to assume that the clear intent of the voters was thwarted by faulty voting machines. These allegations are currently being investigated, and it is critically important that we determine exactly what went wrong in FL-13. But to do that, Christine and her campaign need resources to continue their fight for electoral justice. Please join me and do what you can to support her.

Not only is it vital that we work to ensure the integrity of this election, it is also worth fighting to bring Christine Jennings to Washington. I campaigned with Christine in the final weeks of her campaign, and I know she will be a strong voice for change as part of the new Democratic majority in Congress.

I hope that you will support Christine in her fight to ensure that every intended vote is counted and counted accurately. The fight to ensure that we have fair and accurate elections is a fight to preserve the very heart of our Democracy.

Please contribute what you can to support her recount fund today!


Sincerely,



Wes Clark
