Send this to all CANDIDATES: What they should do tomorrow to protect our votes

After The Election – Ensure That Every Vote Is Counted
Refuse To Concede until after you have received the detailed vote count data and had it
analyzed by independent statisticians.
Conventional wisdom in the past has been that candidates should not challenge a vote
tabulation unless the result is exceedingly close. But recent changes in voting technology raise
the possibility that large miscounts may be recorded. If your opponent adopts a posture of
ridicule and scorn in response to your questions, you have to wonder what he may be hiding.
