36. Hey, there's lots of anti-DRE, pro-transparent-election stuff
Edited on Sat Aug-13-05 08:25 PM by Bill Bored
in the Brazile report. Try reading it and using it with (or AGAINST!!!) your elected officials, BoEs, etc. It's the official party line now, and we should be thanking her for that, regardless of how we feel about Ohio. When you condemn this report, you condemn the only mainstream call to ban DREs. You give the Dems, who've insisted on allowing them, the edge they need to keep going. They should be marginalized now and the party may be ready to do it. What's wrong with that?

We have been handed a gift from the DNC! They are calling for the end of DREs. If you don't believe me, read the report. It's right there in the introduction, and later on too if you can get past all those Ohio scatter plots.

This reminds me a bit of the Aug 6 PDB. All these 9/11 conspiracy theories when all it should have taken to unseat Shrub was his admitted negligence after having read that PDB which was for his eyes only. Yet the Dems didn't use it in the campaign, and the conspiracy theorists always want MORE! And Bush goes merrily on.

We don't need any more evidence than either the Aug 6 PDB, a GEMS user manual, or the Brazile report, each of which clearly shows that both Bush and his DREs have to go!

Anyone who wants to take the time to develop additional evidence is free to do so, but if you want to FIX the problem, the above, and Land Shark's work, is all we need.

And Ohio needs to fix Ohio! And they might just do it too!

For God's sake, even the DNC says to get rid of these machines. How much more mainstream can you get? Now, it's up to us to DO IT!

On edit: I should also have mentioned the Conyers report, but that's just a bit less mainstream and it was already used as the basis for the Jan 6 challenge to no avail because of the Repukes in Congress, and some Democrats as well. But I did not mean to downplay the significance of that work in any way. It was awesome!
