���������������� BREAKING NEWS:
�������� Act Now or No "Meaningful Recount" in Ohio
�������� (Which Could Reverse Bush Coup!)

��������� --Please Forward to Those Interested in Counting
��������� Every Vote and Possibly Reversing the Coup"--
We should all strive to make sure that the Ohio recount is a success
since the recount will definitely happen and it has the ability to
"reverse the coup" if enough legal votes are found for Kerry.
Breaking news: Right now the Ohio Recount will NOT have enough time
for a manual recount to be completed before the electors choose the
new president! Since a judge has just refused to expedite the start
of the recount in Ohio, we must pressure Ohio Secretary of State
Blackwell to expedite the recount, and enlist the help of the Ohio
Governor and the press as well!
Below the sample letter to Blackwell is the contact info for
Blackwell, the Ohio governor, and the Ohio media. This information
below is listed on this website which also includes other urgent
updated actions (check frequently) to facilitate recounts and
investigate fraud -- including how to volunteer to observe the recount
in Ohio for the Democrats (who are joining the recount) or the Greens
(both are recruiting thousands and welcome people from other states).

(A) PLEASE USE THIS BLURB AS A TEMPLATE AND TRY TO CHANGE AND/OR ADD
SOME OF YOUR OWN WORDS. THEN SEND TO EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW,
"In order for there to be no doubt in people's minds that the results
of the election were accurate, the beginning of the recount must
expedited so that a manual count of the entire state (which is
estimated to take 10 days) can be finished by the time the electors
meet to choose a president on Dec. 13th. This is the only way that all
the overvotes, undervotes, and problems with machines can be checked.
Since many anomalies have been discovered in the Ohio election a
thorough manual recount is the only way that the world will trust the
election results.
In addition, it would be best if you, as Chair of the Bush Campaign in
Ohio, recused yourself from being the tie breaker in disputes between
Republic and Democratic counters of provisional ballots and recuse
yourself from being involved in the Ohio recount. Someone non-partisan
should take this role instead. If you do not recuse yourself, and if
it seems that people were disenfranchised because of your bias, the
results of this election will not seem settled or fair which will
cause distress in this country and the whole world. As a result I
implore you not to disenfranchise voters based on technicalities!"

���������� 'Lowdown Tricks' Sap Poll-Watcher's Faith
���������� In Fair US Voting
By Margie Boul�
America: land of the free. If we were taught
anything as young Americans, we learned that in this nation
we are free to live where we wish, express our opinion,
worship in any faith we choose and vote for whomever
we wish.
Portlander Tina Knight spent 20 years working for
high-tech firms in Europe. Traveling for work and
pleasure, she often found herself in conversations
about the United States. "One of the things people
admired was the free elections," she says.
But when Tina returned in 2000 to live in America,
she was concerned about allegations of election
tampering. A patriotic American, Tina had trouble believing
widespread voter fraud could occur in this country.
But after acting as a nonpartisan observer Nov. 2
this time around at a precinct in Florida, she says she's
lost faith in the system. In nine hours Tina says
she saw "lowdown tricks" that have made her feel
"disgusted, angry -- and yes, energized." That's why
she wants her story told.
Tina, who's 57 , has gone back to school at Portland
State University to get a master's degree in adult
education.
But she took a week off from classes in early
November and flew to Florida to work as a volunteer with the
nonpartisan organization Voter Election Protection.
Sponsored by a coalition of organizations that
includes the League of Women Voters, America's
Families United and the American Constitution
Society, Voter Election Protection sends volunteers to
monitor voting in precincts across the nation. Tina's mother
lives in Boynton Beach, Fla.; Tina offered to
observe a precinct there.
After a Monday night training session for 300
volunteers from across the United States, Tina
arrived at 6:20 a.m. election day at Palm Beach County
Precinct No. 7120. "There were over 100 waiting to
vote." Polls opened at 7 a.m.
Most people in that neighborhood, Tina says, "were
blue- and pink-collar workers, immigrants and
retirees. These are people who have shift jobs. They
cannot afford to miss work without getting docked or
even fired."
Soon after the polls opened, problems began. "I
started getting people from a neighboring precinct
coming to vote." Tina explained they had to vote in
their own precinct. "They said they'd been called
over the weekend and told to come here. Some people had
even been told, while waiting in line at their
correct precinct, to come here.
"That's the first indication we got that people had
been deliberately misinformed," Tina says.
A second incident made Tina even more angry.
"Another nearby voting place was in a synagogue. When people
in that precinct went to vote, the polling place was
closed. There was no notification of where they
should go, and there had been no prior written or
telephonic communication. They didn't know what to do."
A few persistent voters had finally gotten calls
through to county election headquarters, and had
been told they were to vote at the precinct Tina was
monitoring. "So our organization went to the
synagogue and put up a note advising people where to come to
vote. And the sign disappeared. So we put up another
sign with a sign watcher. As soon as he finished his
shift, the sign disappeared again."
Tina worked nine hours election day. She talked to a
woman who said the voting machine had repeatedly
registered the wrong presidential candidate. After 8
or 9 tries, it finally showed the candidate she had
selected.
"Another lady said when she got to her review
screen," at the end of the voting process, "the opposing
presidential candidate was listed. . . . She called
the poll worker and demanded it be fixed. The poll
worker went back through the screens" and agreed the
woman had voted for a different candidate than the
review screen showed. "The poll worker said, 'The
review screen is wrong, but just go ahead and punch
the confirmation button.' The woman refused. She
made the poll worker cancel out the transaction, and she
voted again. But how many people would do that -- go
against what the poll worker advised?"
After hearing many voters' stories, Tina says, "I
have absolutely no good feeling that those machines have
integrity."
Tina used to believe the United States had free,
fair elections. She flew across the nation to help ensure
that. Instead, she's lost faith in the integrity of
the process. "When I saw the very simple but lowdown
tricks, like misinforming people about where to vote
. . . I felt like I'd been violated as an American."
Tina is still glad she went to Florida "because I
learned a lot. Now I'm going to be even more
questioning." She wants others to ask the same
questions. She hopes they'll become observers, as
well. (Go to www.lawyerscom.org, click on "Enter"
and then "Election Protection.")
"I'm going to push for more standardized ways of
doing elections, and that there be a paper trail," she
says. "I just want people to have access to fair and
unbiased elections. So their votes are actually counted."
Tina is not affiliated with any political party;
she's registered as an independent. But she's passionate
about fairness. "We shouldn't be assuming our
election system is above reproach," she says. "It isn't. And
I want to get the message out there. We have to be
vigilant. If we want to maintain this democracy, we
have to make sure the votes are all counted and the
elections are fair."
