    "State approves Nader recount
    November 12, 2004
    CONCORD, N.H. — State election officials agreed Friday to a last-minute recount of the presidential race requested by Ralph Nader.
    Nader’s campaign said some voting machines in the state logged results that favored President Bush by as much as 15 percent over what previous trends and exit polls would suggest."

    Following are some very basic facts which show that votes need to be recounted in Florida.
    In advance, excuse the long summary; however, this is the key information/analysis that the Kerry team, the FBI, and the Judiciary Committee need to get through their heads to demand a recount in Florida as soon as possible.
    1. Out of 67 counties in Florida, 52 used optical scan machines. The following three vendors, Diebold, Sequoi, and Election Systems & Software, Inc. (ES&E) had these (…)

    Most Americans who had listened to radio or surfed the Internet on Election Day this year, sat down to watch election night coverage expecting that John Kerry had been elected President. Exit polls showed him ahead in nearly every battleground state, in many cases by sizable margins. As usually happens in close elections, undecided voters broke heavily toward the challenger, and the Democratic (…)

    Worst Voter Error Is Apathy toward Irregularities By Donna Britt The Washington Post
    Friday 12 November 2004
    Is anyone surprised that accusations of voter disenfranchisement and irregularities abound after the most passionately contested presidential campaign in memory? Is anybody stunned that the mainstream media appear largely unconcerned?
    To many people’s thinking, too few citizens were discouraged from voting to matter. Those people would suggest that not nearly enough votes for (…)

    Election Results Challenge Our Faith in America and Its People
    by LILIAN FRIEDBERG
    http://www.opednews.com/friedberg_111104_america.htm
    Like most urban intellectuals, I have been profoundly disturbed by the turns taken in the USA-in the fields of education, the economy, jobs, the environment, social security, health care, the loss of civil liberties and, not least of all, foreign policy.
    Like most of us on the left, I was confident that we would turn the tide by voting the current (…)

  • Media Black Out on Vote Fraud Allegations

    The "mainstream" media has fallen down on the job by failing to cover efforts since November 2 to ensure that all votes in the presidential election are accurately counted. The conclusion by John Kerry that an investigation could not possibly reverse the election may quite possibly have been premature. But the question that both activists and the media should be asking is not whether there was enough fraud and errors to decide the election, nor even whether there was more than is usual, but (…)

    Rick Gagliano | 11/12/04 Is the sizzle off the steak, or are we on a break? Today feels like a typical Friday in some ways, in others it is quite unusual. It’s gotten quiet in my email box, though citizens across America continue to sign the petition at a steady, measured pace not unlike that of a growing, advancing army.
    The media still has not picked up on the petition, though I note that all efforts - including Moveon.org’s petition to Congress, Ralph Nader’s call for a recount in (…)
