4. PLEASE GOD NO

:(

[live love laugh]

5. Uhhh yeahhh. They WILL and already are doing this. What are you doing 11/4/08?

If nothing else, get a camera and go to a polling place in an area targeted for disenfranchisement. Be a witness to the thievery. I will.

8. What would be some tell tail signs of wrongdoing? Have never experienced any of this

so far, thank goodness.

But maybe something for the rest of us to just keep an eye out for might be helpful.

9. Long lines is a biggie. There will be precincts with too few voting machines

in key states. Film of that will be damning.

Any challenges of voters on the spot is also something to look for. Maybe there will be an opportunity to question challengers as well.

I don't know what to look for. I'm no expert, but I think that if you are observant, anything that is out of place will be apparent.

Also, look for people who go to the registration table, but don't proceed to a booth or machine and find out why.

11. Thanks. nt

26. "Protect the Count" video link; and NC-specific info; CONTACT YOUR STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS

ask questions, and REQUEST the printed material provided to your local board of elections for your state. These documents show proposed layouts of voting booths based on# of voting machines, protocol for "judges" to be onsite, etc. EXCELLENT information that I got for North Carolina, but it wasn't available to me online - It was scanned into a PDF document and emailed to me.

Here is the link to "Protect the Count" - 4 minute video from black box voting - what to do on election night. There are also other valuable documents on this site.

http://www.blackboxvoting.org/


NCBO: Go to this North Carolina site which is FULL of information. Locally, we are printing out the Voters' Bill of Rights on 8.5 x 5.5 sheets of paper for people to take with them when they vote - this is NC-specific, quoting rights followed by the NC Statute number.

I would also recommend that everyone contact their state board of elections,

22. I know, Faye. God it's so disheartening. I just hope beyond hope that we can overwhelm them at the

polls.

to help do our best to counteract the modern Republicans' election manipulation methods.

19. Isn't "modern Republicans" an oxymoran (sic)?

Somehow the word "modern" doesn't really jive with a party whose vice-presidential candidate feels the need to be protected against witchcraft.

[SavageDem]

10. This is great stuff.

I just don't know why this stuff isn't really making it big. Well, I actually do know: people just can't believe this can really happen in America. Even smart, well-read progressives that I know still scoff at the idea of voter suppression and stealing. I think it's just so hard to believe that people would really do this. But we have got to be on the lookout; it's time to take back this country!

[helderheid]

15. Yes. :(

[rvablue]

12. Help me out with a quick summary of these

I'm still one of those "morans" with dial-up and it'll take me close to an hour to download this.

Can some intrepid and patient DUer give me a brief summary of this -- or maybe there is a transcript?

[helderheid]

23. It's a report about all the voters being purged before this election, many due to forclosures.

:mad:

13. Kick

and recommend.

14. This Administration belongs in only one place

Jail.

All of 'em.

They are criminals.

[TheBigotBasher]

17. Scum

And the Republicans have the cheek to call organisations like ACORN fraudulent - despite the fact McBush worked with them!

[Hutzpa]

18. Trott and Trott

are responsible for voter fraud in Michigan and are also using their building
for McCain's campaign office.

That is not a coincidence and that shows conflict of interest. The report
also shows that they have thousands of names they have purged based on
foreclosures, which is against these homeowners right as citizens.

The light should be shed on that.

[David Zephyr]

20. K&R. Pass this along to your friends and ask them to pass it along.

K&R.

[helderheid]

21. Perhaps Keith Olbermann and/or Rachel Maddow would report???

[Pooka Fey]

24. K&R Ignore this post at your peril. We can't afford another stolen election.

[blue-kite]

25. Yes this is great stuff... Get this out there to everyone... email... whatever!

27. Big K & R !!!
