Fighting for Every Voter

A few more words about an issue that is of the utmost importance to me.

As political candidates, we spend considerable time and effort every election cycle fighting for votes. After the election, whether won or lost, many candidates leave the irregularities of the election behind. But we owe the voters more than that. When voters are disenfrachised, we owe it to them to seek justice and expose the truth. That is why I have been so proud of the Kerry-Edwards campaign's ongoing involvement in the investigation and litigation of what went wrong in Ohio. I wroteto the candidates recently to ask that they continue to be involved in this important endeavor.

This is not about the past. It is about figuring out what went wrong and why -- and then getting the next election right, not for the Democratic Party, but for all of the voters.

4. Letter posted on Conyers Blog

I am the author of the blog "Ohio Election Fraud" http://fairnessbybeckerman.blogspot.com.

I noticed that some Democratic Underground members judiciously questioned the authenticity of Congressman Conyers's August 17th letter, since the only place it was reproduced was on my blog.

I am therefore gratified to learn that it has been posted on the Congressman's own blog at http://www.conyersblog.us/archives/kerryedwardsohltr81705.pdf

Can you provide links to all the lawsuits related to the 2004 election now pending in Ohio and federal courts, specifically who are the plaintiffs and defendants?
