CLINT CURTIS TO CHALLENGE THE ELECTION RESULTS
WE HAVE JUST BEGUN
CLINT TO CHALLENGE THE ELECTION RESULTS

The results did not match the Zogby pre-election poll, our internal VoteNow2006.net polling, nor our external polling. Clint is investigating challenging the election results.

Thank you for all you have done to make my campaign a success. Your Grassroots support spans the country and I am indeed grateful. When I decide to challenge the results, I will need your support with boots on ground and funds in the account as we connect the vote to the voters.

Every vote deserves to be counted.

I look forward to working with you as we get every vote counted and again to Victory in '08.

Clint

Sorry if this is a dupe - I hadn't heard if he'd won or not so I checked his campaign site and found this.

3. K&R for Clint.
Anyone who doesn't know his story should do a DU search or google him.

4. What is so great about him is that--
--he had exactly the same attitude in his primary victory. He refused to declare victory until all the votes were counted. Win or lose, let's ask all our candidates to follow his example.

6. Yes, I just donated $25.00 for Clint! Please, please, Clint....
show them, all of them, the horrible aspects of the electronic voting machines!

We must throw them into the river and demand paper ballots, hand counted, throughout our country!!!!!

8. Do e-voting machines in Florida have paper trails?
If not, how can a recount be done with any assurance?

25. In Curtis District, Yes
We use in FL-24 the optical ballots - similar to the scantron tests you took in high school, except instead of filling in a bubble to mark your selection, you connect two separated lines (Fill in the space between: - - ). This paper ballot is then read by a machine for the results. So, the election night returns are from the machine count, but you can still hand count the physical ballots.

16. Clint Curtis is the guy who exposed the
attempt by the GOP to write software which would "flip" the election from dem to GOP. Ironically, his opponent is the one who he said asked for the software! He testified in front of the House Judiciary with this information, so it is a solid story.

21. Clint
also PASSED polygraph tests regarding his story! He challenged Republican Abramoff buddy, Representative (puke) Tom Feeney, to take his OWN polygraph, and all Feeney did was say his opponent was crazy. The Florida Today said Curtis couldn't be taken seriously, but I wonder who wrote that, because I doubt it was the same person who said Jim Davis should've been chosen over closet-case Charlie Crist.

11. What was the point spread?
I was under the impression that in Florida, you could only contest it if it was within 1% of the vote, and you had three days to decide?

19. Not bad for a first timer.
Problem is, people usually get burned out with the experience to try again.

22. I think it was 60/40. He's challenging based
on the exit polling and pre-election polls being substantially closer... sorta reminds me of the Vern Buchanan "victory" in southern Florida where about 8 TIMES the normal amount of undervotes occurred in their race, but the undervotes were, ironically, on push button screens! SURPRISE!

20. k&r
I proudly voted for Clint.

TOM FEENEY is one of the most corrupt individuals left on Capitol Hill, and Clint couldn't get Feeney to take a polygraph like he himself had done, and there's no way Feeney gained 7-8 points, when he was scandal ridden, in the last part of the election. I personally saw as many, if not a few more, Curtis signs up in Republican Brevard County compared to Feeney - and nearly ALL the Feeney were on ROADS not in yards!
