Is any voting rights group or election reform group calling for monitoring in 2008? |

Because we should be and we should be doing it now. The Republicans cannot win that election. And they will certainly try to steal it again.
Does anyone know?

1. You can't see the internal workings inside of a machine-that's the "beauty" of HAVA. |
|
I believe this is why the pukes are hoping the HRC is the nominee. They can easily say "she was just too divisive-she brought out the right and the anti-war left said home"

3. If they did that to Cynthia,they can do it to HRC. |
|
Still, the request should be made and loudly and in a public place.
Let the Carter Institute turn us down again. Let all of them turn us down. If we don't pass inspection, that needs to be well known.
Would this happen at the state level? That sort of makes more sense.

7. "they" view Cynthia much differently than HRC-opposites in fact. |

8. Oh, sure but, really, their solution is the same, imho. |
|
Disinformation and where that doesn't work, theft. :shrug:

2. I've been wondering why the Democrats didn't make this the #1 priority... |
|
following the 2006 election! It would seem to me this ought to be a very serious issue for the Democrats taking the Presidency, the House and the Senate in 08.

4. What did they do after 2000 and before and after 2004? I believe there is a segment |
|
of the Dem leadership (3 letters) that did not want Gore or Kerry from taking office. They want corporate power over the people. What if they fought for electoral integrity and the people voted them out? What if their candidate didn't win?
There was enough evidence to make the case for stolen elections.
There is enough evidence to question the integrity of the machines.
But there is silence. Why?

6. I've always thought that some may be a little dirty and they hang back |
|
for that reason.
But, this doesn't need to go through party politics. In fact, better that it doesn't so it can't be shut down as a partisan activity.

10. I heard from reporters that without screams of foul by the Dems-there was no story. |
|
We had evidence and yet were quickly dismissed as "conspiracy theorists" without even an attempt to analyze the evidence.
I hate to sound so cynical-I really wish I wasn't, but look at what just occurred in Ohio with a ballot error giving the GOP a win in a judge race. I was told the Dems were going to fight for it after I produced evidence of precedence of correction of a similar error at a later date. Instead, last night I found out instead of fighting for the judge position, they promoted the Dem candidate to the AG's office and will let the error stand. I am as sick as I was after '04. My faith in the party has tanked.

11. I'm so sorry to hear that, mod mom. |

And, that's not cynicism. :hug:

5. It should have been an issue seven years ago. |
|
It doesn't look like the party wants to take it on or they would have by now.

9. There are a couple listed under regulated voting machines. Maybe there will be something there? |
