Aren't I special? Just got an email from Terry!!!
Dear Midori,

Your response to Washington Governor candidate Christine Gregoire's plea for help has been overwhelming. Thanks to your generosity, the recount in Washington will now go forward. With only 42 votes separating Gregoire and her Republican opponent, today we can ensure that every ballot is accurately counted. This could not have happened without you.

Your incredible grassroots support is vital to our continued fight to ensure a full and legitimate count of every single vote in this election and future elections. In addition to our strong commitment to the recount in Washington State, the Democratic Party has empowered the Ohio Democratic Party to represent us as our official observer during the recount. We will make sure that every vote in Ohio is counted.

But we aren't stopping there. After consulting with our Voting Rights Institute staff, Voting Protection Coordinators, Ohio legal team, Party activists, supporters, elected officials, and others, and after reviewing available information, the Democratic National Committee has decided to conduct a thorough investigation of key election issues arising from the conduct of the 2004 general election in Ohio.

This investigative study will address the legitimate questions and concerns that have been raised in Ohio and will develop factual information that will be critically important in crafting further key election reforms. This project seeks to answer such questions as:

Why did so many people have to wait in line in certain Ohio precincts and not others?
Why weren't there enough machines in some counties and not others?
Why were so many Ohioans forced to cast provisional ballots?
We will find answers to help implement and advocate reforms in the future.

Let me be clear. We do not expect either the recount in Ohio or our investigation to overturn the results of this election. But both are vital to protecting every American's voting rights in future elections. And the Democratic Party will never waver when it comes to upholding this sacred trust.

Thank you again for your incredible support.

Sincerely,

Terry McAuliffe
Chairman

3. My response to them was:
Why don't you use the $45+ million from Kerry's GLAC?

I wonder if I got a thank you note.

11. why do they keep saying "we do not
expect this recount to change the outcome of the election"

however the recount in washington we expect it to change, of course there is smaller difference between the so-called winner and loser. The fraud was most likely bigger in Ohio and I want that(there is some name-calling coming up) bleeping idiot out of office.

12. They are trying to keep a low key
about the vote counting in Ohio. Just count the votes and see what happens. Why get the hopes up of the Kerry supporters and get the bushie supporters to try to block and name call us as sore losers. The truth will come out.
