I'm creating a collection of ways to "tell others" about vote fraud/irregularities on this page:

So far I have:

What others are doing:

I just got a one dollar bill with NO BLACK BOX VOTING stamped on it!

2. The advertising space you don't know you own.

The avatars are great. They point out something that a lot of less hardcore web forum users do not realize:

Let's say you are a gamer, or you build model trains, or whatever. Something that is totally unrelated to politics.

Probably you have an Internet forum a lot like DU that lets you have signatures and avatars. First, put a hyperlink to a good site in your signature (try to choose something that looks "respectable" like freepress.org), along with a catch line (there are threads in Voter Issues section for catch lines.) That means that every time you post about grooming your ferret or how to make a sunflower grow sideways, people who are totally outside of the issue have a change to get drawn in. I've done this and on popular sites, you can generate 10 or 20 hits every time you post. That's a bit of work, but if you post to that forum anyway, it isn't work at all.

One problem with movements is they tend to form publicity bubbles where they think they are doing outreach when really they are not reaching anyone new. This breaks that bubble.

The second thing is another trick you may not know about: If you go and change your signature and/or your avatar, in a lot of these systems, it will change on all your old posts too. The ones you made last week, and the ones you made last year.

...and, this is important, if you have put a post into a sticky/pinned article, like say you contributed to a FAQ thread on how to cure goldfish urinary tract infections, then you have a little billboard just sitting there, waiting for you to use. On popular sites, those threads get a LOT of traffic. We're talking hundreds of people seeing your avatar every hour.


P.S. can anyone make me a (small) avatar that says "VoteJacked!"?

3. Strong indications of major irregularities or Fraud in Ohio counties

Strong indications of major electronic glitches or fraud in Ohio in several counties

In analyzing the still-unofficial results, the totals reveal that C. Ellen Connally, an African-American Democratic candidate from Cleveland running for Ohio Chief Justice, received more than votes than Kerry in many counties. For example in Butler County, Connally received 5347 more votes than Kerry. The list of the counties where Connally actually outpolled Kerry include Auglaize, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Darke, Highland, Mercer, Miami, Putnam, Shelby, Van Wert, and Warren.

The reason the Kerry vote counts are suspect is because Connelly, a retired African-American judge, was vastly outspent in her race, and did not have the visibility of the presidential race. Thus for a more obscure Democratic candidate, farther down on the ticket, to get many more votes statewide than Kerry, suggests something happened to suggest there may have been a transfer of Kerry votes to Bush. ""Statistically, Kerry, as the Democratic presidential candidate, should have more votes than Connally. In a presidential election, most voters have the priority of casting a vote for president and the votes for president are almost always much higher than those of candidates farther down the ticket. As of election night, 5,481,804 votes were counted for Bush and Kerry. 4,327,270 votes were counted for Moyer and Connally.

""This looks like a computer glitch or a computer fix,"" said Bob Fitrakis, a lawyer, political scientist and Editor of the Columbus Free Press (http://freepres.org) who has written about election irregularities since Bush was declared the winner. Fitrakis is among the team of lawyers who announced they would soon file an election challenge in the state’s Supreme Court.

7. Change your voter registration to Independent

And get others to do the same.

I got a call this evening from someone I met at a MeetUp
(probably Dean). Nice African American woman. She was
thoroughly disgusted. She was calling everyone she knew to
encourage them to change their registrations "to send our
cowardly Democrats who won't fight a message." I told her
I'd already been thinking about doing just that, BUT that
there was another good reason to do that, which is to confound
pollsters. 

Heheh. Besides, if our Dems are so gung-ho about going after
the "swing vote," might as well BECOME one of those
Independents and THEN maybe they'll start listening to us.

Something else you can do, a little more immediate, is post
the following links in threads where people don't seem to know
what the latest news is, or have questions that shows that
they can't be here all the time and therefore have missed
things:

8. No Confidence Resolution

http://guvwurld.blogspot.com/2004/11/no-confidence-resolution.html

No Confidence Resolution
(v5.0, last updated 11/12/04 11pm)

WHEREAS private corporate ownership of voting machines has inherent conflicts of interest, and has specifically led to partisan support;

and

WHEREAS most voting machines made by private companies do not provide a voter-verifiable paper ballot or a permanent paper record of votes;

and

WHEREAS no machine has ever proven to be infallible, and there is extensive documentation of thousands of so-called voting machine "glitches," including lost data, negative vote totals, tallies equaling more votes than there are registered voters, and persistent automatic vote swapping from a voter's chosen candidate to an opponent, with some of said "glitches" being severe enough to change an election's outcome;

and

WHEREAS data from the 2004 U.S. presidential election indicate an enormous probability of fraud including, but not limited to, a non-random pattern involving optical scan machines in several states tallying significantly more votes for one candidate than could be expected based on exit polls, voter registrations or even voter turnout;

THEREFORE be it resolved that the City Council of XX, rejects as fraudulent the results reported from the 2004 US presidential election;

Be it also resolved that until:

1) all private corporations are divested of ownership in election machines, and
2) clean money laws keep all corporate funds out of campaign financing, and
3) any future mechanisms for voting conform to a uniform national standard and produce a verifiable audit trail for every vote, and
4) all votes are cast on the same day, designated as a national holiday, with the exception of absentee ballots which will be granted to applicants meeting a narrow list of federally determined criteria, and
5) all votes are counted publicly in the presence of citizen witnesses and credentialed members of the media, and
6) equal time provisions are observed by the media along with a measurable increase in local, public control of the airwaves, and
7) presidential debates contain a minimum of three candidates, and are run by a non-partisan commission comprised of representatives of publicly owned media outlets, and
8) ranked choice voting, also called instant runoff voting, is implemented for federal elections (see H.R. 5293);

There shall be no BASIS for confidence in the legitimacy of the results reported from future US federal elections;Be it also resolved that fraudulent elections constitute denial of the Consent of the Governed, defined in the Declaration of Independence as the self-evident truth from which government derives just Power. This Council reserves the right to exercise remedies described therein.
