when you hear a report about the recount in Ohio being over
Edited on Tue Dec-28-04 08:28 PM by KaliTracy
try to make an effort to call or write the media source to tell about (pick one or more)

1. the lack of randomness in the sample, which allowed all of the recounts to be done by machine.

2. BOEs such as in Fairfield county, that went against the rules and re-hand counted the 3% base two times so they could use the machine for the rest of the precincts.

3. Poll books being out-of-bounds in some BOEs and not others. No way to confirm the number of voters who signed a book to the number of ballots received.

4. Some counties whose ballots seemed to be pre-sorted during their "random" 3% count -- a handful for *, a handful for Kerry, a handful for * and so on (instead of being more random distribution).

5. If you want to go farther -- the hostility and intimadation that some BOEs showed volunteers.

6. The TRIAD fiasco.

7. The TRIAD fiasco.

8. The TRIAD fiasco.

1. KO mentioned
the green party saying that 86 out of 88 recounts were not randomly selected. Also a short snip on Blackwell suing so as to not have to testify under oath. Small segments but at least something.

2. Thank you KaliTracy!
They would like most of the sheeples to think that it's all over and done with. We must call them on every one of their reports!

4. The Young Turks today.....
were kissing off the recount on their program. They did sympathetically say good luck and more power to anyone who can "prove" fraud....but hey just wrote it off completely.

Left Radio. I was listening in the car about 45 minutes ago.

Here is their web site:

I don't think it was a re-run based on the fact they stated the election re-count is now a done deal today.....

7. I don't think most people "get it"
What they have done is establish an official record by completing this phony recount.
And that is important to them for the same reason that the Warren commission report on the assassination of JFK was important.
From now on anyone that doubts the fairness of the election and the legitimacy of bush as precedent is automatically a member of the grassy knoll society.
And the lack of participation by Kerry in all of this only gives the recount more credibility.
Now there is just one little detail to be dealt with, the court challenge and the investigation. That can be easily had by twisting a few arms of repug judges. And then it will be all over as far as they are concerned.
The few that will continue to rant will just be ridiculed as tin foil haters, and that is all.

8. How about loading Green Party view into the media blaster?
Get Tim to put a summary in the media blaster! Can you write up something that is 3-4 paragraphs long and send it to him?

You can PM him from here:
