9. Local Affidavits to Support Statistical Findings...

I am new here, and my posts are always on the bottom of a thread...ib other words, no one has ever read any of them! but in this case, i won't let this happen, so i'm reappearing in a new thread..

Anyway, the problem with statistical analyses is that they don't get the people-- ie, most people-- activated, excited, aware and protesting..

So, in response to Trudyco's suggestion (on another thread) that a LOCAL VOTE COUNTING effort be made to PROVE the fraud the statistics show....So the basic idea is: get people to sign affidavits saying, I voted for Kerry..and compare those numbers with the "offical" tallies--

I said--

local, grass-roots approach to democracy seems to be exactly what we need, as it asks Americans to revisit election day: I voted, and this is who I voted for-- ie, MAKE IT REAL! GET THE PEOPLE TO SAY WHO THEY VOTED FOR, THEN DO A LITTLE COUNTING... Get the folks from one precinct to come out and sign affidavits (using the poll books as proof of their voting) and see ONE precinct radically underrepresented in official tallies-- and you have the potential for a MAJOR LOCAL STORY that INVOLVES THE PEOPLE! The people then realize, my god, my vote vanished, disappeared! And then the PEOPLE are realizing what the statisticians can't make anyone see/feel-- the most intimate, direct realization of disenfranchisement.


And all it takes is for ONE precinct to have this experience, I think...People will then start waking up..the post November 2nd slumber will be interrupted... and once the PEOPLE wake up and realize, my god! the guy I voted for may have really won!

well, that's the beginning of the groundswell that WILL make MSM take note. That's all we need to get regular people OUT ON THE STREETS PROTESTING!!
