the connections between all of the e-vote machine manufacturers plus how easy they are to tamper with.

You might want to mention the "strange and disappointing" (to put it mildly) mainstream media coverage even though the problems were very widespread. Make sure they know that at this point, we are the media and it's up to all of us to get the word out.

For me the number 1 issue is the enormousness - we are talking about hundreds of thousands (maybe more) of people who may not have had their votes counted in the way they had intended. As a Floridian, we are especially sensitive about this- but as Americans, we all should be deeply upset. Remind them that this is not a partisan issue- it's about our constitution and about our protecting our democracy.

Bring facts about how many reports there were of voter irregularities, (poll problems, suppression, pre-election issues, disenfranchisement, etc.) The document handed to the GAO included 57,000 reports of voter problems- no small number.

Can you bring along handouts? If so, you might want to do a simple list of the top 10 links to learn more (we can send you these if you don't have them) so they can do their own research. Also include links to places they can donate, actions, email blasts, marches, etc. I carry a small stack of links where people can become more educated and become involved.

I'm sure you will be terrific! Boy are they lucky to have you as their speaker! Where is it by the way?
