Time to call the MEDIA, the SOEs, and the DEM leaders
Here's a link to a thread where I've posted links to contacts for all of the above.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=203&topic_id=78528


Over the last couple of days I've spoken with the SOE in Alachua and Suwannee County, the DNC in FL, the local DNC leader in Alachua County and others.

First of all, you will be amazed how much information you can get from some of these people.

However, was distresses me is that on the local level, all the DEMS went home to lick their wounds after the election. None of them know wtf is going on any more than the majority of people who watch MSM. Two of the DEMS had never heard of DU and promised to check it out.

The SOE's that I spoke to answered every question I asked. For example, I found out that in the State of FL the ballots are now part of the public record and for a fee anyone who asks can look at the ballots.

The point is that we need to COMMUNICATE and we need to ASK QUESTIONS. Go ahead and try, you might find that it's actually a lot of fun, once you get going.

1. apparently some counties have refused access to records
Palm Beach for example. Black Box Voting has filed a law suit against LaPore.

5. Refusal Should be recieved with adverse inference.

What are they hiding?

Even a moron poll worker has to know better than to throw anything away that is part of a national election!

2. I'm very disappointed in the dem leader in my FL county, but
I suspect she's being voted out this very night. She was extremely complacent about the security of our voting process when I questioned her. The fact that the manufacturer certified our machines was enough for her.

3. Exactly, Count the ballots, check the Absentee ballots against
The obits
Check the poll books

Get a copy of Votescam and you will get an idea of what to look for in those documents like the poll books that still exist.

7. FL is a Sunshine Law State
That means all of these documents are public record and must be made accessible.

I am sure the majority of FL counties take the Sunshine Laws very seriously and will make those records available if you ask. If not, then there will be a lot more lawsuits on the agenda.
