19. Sitting at home won't accomplish anything
Get out and vote. Make sure everyone you know votes. The more people that vote, especially if the results are hincky, the more likely people will demand change.

I voted with an Advance Ballot here in Kansas so I will be available to take others to the polls on Tuesday. I'm taking some friends to vote early tomorrow morning so they will be available on Tuesday. Never give up the fight.

fwiw, my tears were the release of long-pent up emotions about the 2000 election. I've always believed it was stolen and this was just the confirmation. It was akin to getting kicked in the teeth all over again.

21. I know...
It is not about Democrats losing elections due to fraud. I think I would be as "ill" as I feel right now knowing someone is tampering with votes, either Republicans or Democrats!! I just hope concerned Republicans would pick on this too and see the urgency.

I knew things were bad, but this is too much...

15. Tell me about it
My husband and I crossed the state border and campaigned in Missouri for Gore. We knew we had been cheated back then. I read all the stories about FAMU, problems, etc. in Florida. I heard on the news and from friends about problems with voting places in Missouri.

I think my tears were more of a release of emotion after almost six years of knowing how illegitimate the 2000 election really was.

8. Washington Post columnist
Paul Farhi says it is sloppy and is not to be believed. His column online on Washington Post leads us to believe that it is a propoganda for the democrats.....When I told him we would decide for ourselves and why didn't he stop posting bush propoganda. He said I was parnoid and that the republicans send him emails telling him he is for the democrats. If anybody reads that last column you can see WHO HE IS FOR.

He must think people are as stupid as his column.

14. The repugs knew they could hold power with these machines & never hesitated...
Does anyone believe it's not planned? The republicans can't win shit unless it's rigged..we've all seen there selfish lying greedy ideology in action for too long.

But here's an odd thing: I'm not sure many people in the Florida Democratic Party give a shit.

17. Yes, America there is no democracy here and most Americans
want to pretend everything is a-ok. If you don't have auditable, transparent elections...then you have NO DEMOCRACY! Period.
