Paper Ballots in Legal Tangle
SANTA FE— Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron on Monday asked the state Supreme Court to set aside two recent court rulings that allow the disclosure of information about provisional ballots cast in last week's general election.

*skip*

Robles' ruling came in response to a temporary restraining order filed Friday by the local Republican Party. Republican watchers were removed for three hours from the county Bureau of Elections last Thursday after complaints they disrupted election workers who were sorting provisional ballots into two piles— those with names on registered voter rolls and those not named on the rolls.

Bush v. Gore was filed by Republicans also. Where in the name of God are our lawsuits?

1. What we have here is a desperate, under the table struggle
to maintain the fiction that Bush was elected.

2. Petition to Congress requesting investigation into Presidential Election
To: United States Congress
TO: All members of the Congress of the United States of America; all Senators and Members of the House of Representatives

A Petition to immediately and without delay open a joint investigation into potential wrongdoing in the Presidential Election of 2004, specifically to investigate the potential of voting machine manipulation or purposeful malfunction, especially electronic voting machines manufactured and supplied by Diebold, Inc.; Electronic Systems & Software (ES & S); Sequoia Voting Systems, and others, and also to identify and investigate all allegations of improper conduct by election officials, workers, observers, challengers and operatives and employees of both major parties concerning the voting process including intimidation, dissemination of improper information, manipulation of registration records, improper handling of actual voting ballots and, in general, any and all potential improprieties which could have led to improper or inaccurate election results.

Such inquiries should not be limited to any particular state, precinct or district but strive to examine the voting process in any and all areas in which there is even the slightest indication of impropriety, but especially in the states of Florida, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas and New Hampshire, and not limit such investigation, and expand such investigations to cover Senatorial races as well, especially those in Kentucky, Florida and South Dakota.

We, the undersigned, request that our elected representatives act in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America in a legal, impartial and expedient manner for an open hearing before the people of the United States and if such wrongdoing, illegal practices, manipulation of voting records or processes is of such a nature to indicate egregious or extensive tampering, alteration or misappropriation of the voting process that the violators be brought to justice and remedies, potentially including a nationwide audit, recall, recount or new election be imposed by your bodies.

We feel it is our patriotic duty to request such action from you, our elected officials, and your duty to respond in a responsible manner.

Sincerely,


http://www.petitiononline.com/uselect/petition.html

5. Seems, isn't PetitionOnline a for-pay site?
I remember being told that they get money for every signature. Am I wrong?

6. Happy to see people I know had already signed this petition.
Makes me feel at one with the universe. (Not my normal feeling these days.)
