Let me be clear: the ONLY thing I am worried about is election theft.

I am not worried about Obama. We are winning, he is winning and this close to the end we could all enjoy the luxury of slightly easier sleep. I don't mean not working - god knows I've said what everyone else says about continuing to work hard. I just mean, its okay to think that, in a fair election, Obama is nearly certain to win.

But I've posted several times in defense of worriers and particularly in attempts to get people to be alert and active in their own precincts and states to the attempts at election theft already underway.

So let me be clear, that's the only thing I'm concerned about. And it should concern us all.

Don't confuse that with me saying I think the election will be stolen. I am simply pointing out the evidence - we have conclusive reports that attempts to cage, disenfranchise, illegally purge, and in all other ways tamper with this elections are already in full swing. And that doesn't even cover concern over the election machines themselves, which was such a huge topic of concern four years ago.

Now - there's been some good news. The Ohio Secretary of State telling George Bush to go fuck himself was one. If you didn't hear, the Bush adminsitration itself ordered the Sec. of State of Ohio to purge those 200,000 voters after the Ohio Supreme Court said that was not OK. The Sec. refused. In Colordao a last minute agreement to avoid court makes it so that all those voters (ONE in FIVE in Colordado) are garunteed to vote at the polls AND to vote on actual (not "provisional" ballots).

Huge, wonderful news.

That said, the fact that we already KNOW this is the GOP game plan and we already KNOW their efforts are underway mean that even if it is likely that we will prevail, we have a FIGHT on our hands for the next four days!

That's the only message I'm every trying to express with my posts. Believe me, I'm not gloom and doom. I'm smiling. I'm excited, and come November 4th I expect to celebrate like I have never celebrated before. But between now and then, there is one real threat to our victory and that is theft - so keep up the good fight!!

1. Lookee here

I mean here:

The BRAD BLOG has learned that Mike Connell, the Republican IT guru whose company, GovTech Solutions, created Ohio's 2004 election results computer network appeared in federal court today, as compelled, and has been ordered to appear for his deposition on Monday, November 3, just 24 hours before Election Day 2008.
Today's court order came after a contentious hearing, at which Connell was present. The hearing was part of a long-standing voting rights violations lawsuit, King Lincoln v. Blackwell,


The issues in the King Lincoln v. Blackwell suit are complex, but in a nutshell, some Ohio voters filed a lawsuit alleging voting rights violations and election irregularities in the 2004 Presidential election in the Buckeye State. Taking the sworn deposition of Connell, the man who set up the computers for reporting election results, and re-routing them through his company's own Tennessee servers late on the night of the '04 election, has been a high priority for Election Integrity advocates and attorneys in Ohio.


The attorneys in the case have said that Connell's testimony may well lead to the subpoenaing and under-oath questioning of Karl Rove, who, they say, would be unable to use Executive Privilege as an excuse to avoid such a subpoena in a civil RICO case...

Might put a cramp in their style come the big day, eh? :)
