Reply #51: saddemocrat -- this really isn't about whether we get Bush

[Eloriel]

out of office or not. And in a sense, it's not even whether we can "prove" there was "fraud" or not (in fact, it may not be provable at all, given how the voting machines are set up). I believe there WAS fraud, if only because of the horrendous and all-pervasive Repug efforts at vote suppression EVERYwhere.

The FAR more important issue is proving that the voting machines are unreliable and fraud-possible (to coin a word there).

Don't pin your hopes on seeing Kerry in the White House -- certainly not in Jan. 2005. But please DO work as hard as you can (notifying friends and family, if nothing else) to help us push forward these recounts so that we might be able to "fix" this voting machine mess.

Because I can tell you FOR SURE that they WILL steal our votes, they WILL put in office whoever "they" want, and voting from here on out will be just a meaningless, but pleasant, reminder of what our democracy used to be like. I spent almost all of last year working on the BBV issue, and I know whereof I speak. The machines are deadly for democracy.

If you care a whit about democracy and our right to vote, WHOEVER ultimately wins, please work with us on this.

Here's where to contribute and a nice thread with a suggested letter to send to friends/family/etc.
