8. refuse to accept all election results - or just the ones we don't like?
are we only going to refuse to accept election results if
Democrats lose, or do we refuse to accept all election results across the board?

Should we refuse to accept that any representatives currently holding office
are illegitimately doing so?

Should we refuse to accept the results of the Connecticut primary?

I do believe that when candidates include in their campaign promises
that they will see to it that all votes are counted, that they actually
do that.


If a politician raises about $15 million for legal and recount funds,
then I think this should be used for recounts.

One place that $1.3 million of Kerry's $15 mill in recount and litigation
money could have been used was in New Mexico, where there were phantom votes and a high rate
also of undervotes - for president.

Democratic Governor Richardson refused to accept a deposit of a bit
over $100K to request the recount, and told the Greens and Libs
they would have to come up with $1.3 million in advance.

If only there were some money to pay for that recount... but where oh
where to find it?
