$100,000 Reward for Information re:
Election Fraud in California's Proposition 8
Velvet Revolution ("VR"), a non-profit dedicated to clean and honest
elections, today offers a $100,000 reward for hard information
leading to the arrest and conviction of any person or persons who may
have committed election fraud affecting the passage of Proposition 8.
California's Prop 8, an amendment to the state Constitution
eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry, was declared on
election night to have passed, even though approximately four million
ballots remained uncounted, approximately eight times more than the
margin of victory.
Citing the unreliability of the state's electronic voting systems as
well as complaints by voters, election monitors and election
integrity advocates alleging election irregularities, VR yesterday
called on the Secretary of State to launch an investigation into the
Proposition 8 election. We now ask whistleblowers to come forward.
"If there was foul play in the Proposition 8 race, somebody knows
it, and we're asking them to speak out," says Velvet Revolution
spokesperson Emily Levy. "The possibility that millions of
Californians could have the right to marriage equality revoked based
on incorrect election results is deeply disturbing," says Levy. "In
this age when California counts its votes with computers that
repeatedly fail, produce incorrect results, and can be manipulated,
the public and our election officials must go the extra mile to
ensure that the election results are accurate." Velvet Revolution has
also asked the public to monitor the post-election processes
currently underway in California counties.
In addition to the new reward being offered in the Proposition 8
race, Velvet Revolution is offering rewards for information related
to alleged election manipulation in the 2004 presidential election in
Ohio, the break-ins at ACORN's offices in Massachusetts and
Washington state, and the 2002 Georgia Senate race in which Saxby
Chambliss prevailed. Chambliss is currently fighting to retain that
Senate seat in a runoff election to be held December 2.
