This afternoon's mail brought a positive letter from my Rep.

[JoMama49]

Ellen O. Tauscher, Member of Congress.

Although she did not agree to stand up and contest the electoral college, she did address the specific issue with these words:

"Many reports of voting irregularities and fraud have circulated throughout the country since Nov. 2nd. Accounts of computer hacking and/or direct tampering of voting machines are circulating in the media. Individuals who reviewed election results in Ohio, Florida, and elsewhere have found peculiar voting patterns. The Associated Press reported that an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus. The list is long, and although most of the rumored accounts of election fraud have been pr oven false, many people have voiced serious doubts about the honesty and fairness of the last election.

Although Senator Kerry has already conceded the Presidential election,k the government has an obligation to investigate electoral fraud. Every voter has a right to know that each vote was accurately recorded and counted. I believe every instance or allegation of fraud should be thoroughly investigated. Since Nov. 2nd, I have been working with my colleagues in Congress to respond swiftly and thoroughly to all of these allegations. While there is no current evidence that would change the ultimate outcome of the 2004 Presidential Election, I believe that each credible report of voter fraud must be taken seriously.

I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact my office at 925-932-8899 or 202-225-1880."

At least it wasn't a brush-off, and it's obvious the House at least is taking the issue seriously.
JoMama.

5. She tells you what the outcome of any investigation will be

"most of the rumored accounts of election fraud have been pr oven false,"

And that will be the objective of any investigation that the government does, to prove it false.
It will be just like the Warren Commission where they know the mandate is to prove the official record true, for the sake of the country.
