Clinton Curtis on Thom Hartmann today
T.H. asked him if he was contesting the election results and Curtis said that he was investigating to see if he could contest the results. T.H. asked him if Feeney had declared victory yet and Curtis said Feeney had declared victory before the election! Thom asked if Curtis was using this as an opportunity to look at the machines or if he thought he had really possibly won and Curtis said that in polls he had won be two points in some and lost by two points in some, but in any case it was close but then in the election he had been 20 points behind. So, TH said it wasn't really close enough to flip and Curtis said it doesn't have to be close for them to flip the results they can do it with any numbers. Then Curtis said that he found that all the Florida democratic losses had been by 20 points! Is this true? I haven't checked it yet, I wanted to post before I forgot. So, Curtis thought there was widespread Florida fraud, and he is investigating.

T.H. said that prior to the election all the dem candidates he was interviewing had asked him NOT to take about election fraud (when they were off-air before the interview started) because they were afraid that it would make people not want to bother voting.(he kept calling it "voter" fraud" which irritated me) Clinton Curtis said he couldn't count how many times he had heard the same thing. They both agreed the DNC has got to get on the ball about election fraud.

U.S. House------------ Repub Dem
D6 Sterns/Bruderly--- 59.9% 40.1%
D9 Bilirakis/Busansky 55.9% 44.1%
D13 Buchanan/Jennings- 51.1% 49.9%
D15 Weldon/Bowman---- 56.3% 43.7%
D.. Keller/Stuart---- 52.8% 45.7%

D24 Feeney/Curtis---- 57.9% 42.1%
D25 DiazBalart/Calerin 58.3% 41.7%

State Senate
D10 Storms/Gorham---- 52.1% 47.9%
D14 Delrich/Jennings- 53.8% 46.2%
State House
D22 Cretel/Thurman--- 56.1% 43.9%
D24 Baxley/Walker---- 56.3% 43.7%
D26 Patterson/Cahen-- 55.4% 44.6%
D44 Schenk/Claytor--- 50.9% 49.1%
D48 Nehr/Zimmerman--- 51.6% 48.4%
D49 Quinnones/Raia--- 53.5% 46.5%
D54 Frische/Valentine 53.2% 46.8%
D60 Homan/Perez------ 56.7% 43.3%
D70 Holder/Shapiro--- 50.6% 49.4% Sarasota
D74 Thompson/Burket-- 53.0% 47.0%
D82 Snyder/Hilton---- 54.0% 46.0%
D81 Harrell/Ramos---- 54.2% 45.8%
D83 Domino/Ford------ 50.5% 49.5%
D87 Hasner/Kopf------ 55.1% 44.9%


Of the Congress races, I thought Jennings, Stuart, and Busansky would likely win and Bowman & Curtis were good candidates who had a good chance. The others didn't have enough resources, of course the Repubs outspend Dems by 3 or 4 to 1 (or more)in most Florida races.

As you can see, although the Repubs are in a minority in Florida statewide, they win most of the elections, with a lot of close races.

3. Clint is asking for volunteers to help audit his and other close Florida elections
Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 09:02 PM by philb
Clint and several other Florida candidates are going to VERIFY THEIR VOTES!

As Thomas Jefferson said,

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."

Clint is not one to keep silent. And I know YOU are not silent!

Clint has not conceded. In fact, he has a way to analyze the Official Vote Count to determine where to focus our efforts to get the votes verified. This will be a minimal financial cost. We just need Feet on the Street!

That is where YOU come in. The good news: it is Thanksgiving Week; and the bad news: it is Thanksgiving Week. Yup, you guessed it; the State picks this time of year to give you 10 days to determine whether you want to Contest the election. So, we have 10 days to get the signatures we need to determine if the machines counted accurately. Candidates from around the state will need help. So, wherever you live in Florida, you can be part of this historic vote verification. Or if you are out of state and you would like to be a part, please Contribute at http://www.clintcurtis.com/ contribute.htm or let me know if you will phone call, if we decide that is needed. Marty 954-732-1112.

The results from your efforts could be a recall or a new election. Best of all, it could bring about permanently getting rid of the flawed electoral system! Clint has been fighting for free and fair elections for over five years. NOW he has an opportunity to MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Once we receive the official data on the results of the election, we will be knocking on doors of Independents and Democrats in targeted precincts to get signatures verifying the gubernatorial race, Clint's Congressional Race and Proposed Amendment Three (3). We need you ready to spring into action.

We just need 2 hours of your time, one evening this week or during the day Friday (when many people have off,) Saturday or Sunday, and again next week. Let me know you are ready to spring into action by a call to Marty 954-732-1112 or email [email protected]. As soon as we get the data, I will call you to help CHANGE THE VOTING SYSTEM once and for all by helping us to verify the vote!

With YOU on the team, we can do it!

Truth in the Booth DVD's still available! Get yours! Contact [email protected] ; 954-732-1112. Order via www.clintcurtis.com/dvd.htm . It will knock your socks off! Watch this YouTube Trailer <2:12 min.>

It matters if every vote has been counted. Help us so we can count every vote
