Reply #14: Spent the day being interviewed for a stolen election documentary ...

[Fly by night]

...that was started at our National Election Reform Conference and has continued ever since.

I also spent it following up with three local reporters who are now doing in-depth stories about the untoward influences in our state's decisions about how we will spend our HAVA money.

I also worked to put finishing touches on another Election Security Gathering this Saturday that will draw our Congressman (Jim Cooper,a co-sponsor of HR550) and David Mills, the Memphis attorney who is suing to declare paperless electronic voting to be unconstitutional in Tennessee.

I also sent memos out to our local Democrats to prevent our county from switching away from optical scan voting to DREs, which might happen.

I also completed an analysis of undervotes in the 2004 Presidential election, having found that some of our voting systems had as high as a 3%+ undervote and that four of our counties had "phantom" votes -- more votes for President than voters. I got that information out to several counties right away which are re-thinking their voting systems also.

Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful day. Even got to bush-hog one of my pastures and finish harvesting my broccoli and sweet potatoes.

We mustn't stop until private companies no longer count our votes in secret using software we cannot even examine.

Voter-Verified Paper Ballots NOW.
Mandatory Random Manual Audits NOW.
No more wireless capability in our voting machines (NOW or EVER AGAIN).
