DNC Urges Secretaries of State to Outline Process for Counting Provisional Ballots

Washington, D.C. – Today, the Democratic National Committee called upon all 50 Secretaries of State to, "explicitly outline the standards and timelines that will be used to count the remaining votes for the 2004 election." In the letter to the Secretaries of State, Chairman Terry McAuliffe said, "After such a highly charged and competitive election, I want to make sure that every American can be confident that our electoral process worked and continues to be the model for the world. The best way to achieve these goals is to ensure that every vote cast has been accurately counted. This is in no way an effort to question the outcome of this election, but to ensure trust in the outcome of every election going forward."

He continued, "One of the most important things we have learned during this election is that if voters don’t have faith in the infrastructure for casting and counting votes, they will not participate in the process. The critical issues confronting this nation require full participation by the electorate. I strongly believe that your efforts at transparency will go far to affirm the American people’s belief in our Democracy."

3. good. puts them on the record, anyway.
but my mission hasn't even yet begun. I will be beating the sh!t out of this paper ballots issue and very open auditing of the tabulation of votes and the ULTIMATE which is standardized voting across all precincts throughout this country.

5. This caught my eye
He continued, "One of the most important things we have learned during this election is that if voters don’t have faith in the infrastructure for casting and counting votes, they will not participate in the process."

Maybe that is the idea.......after all we now have a KING, why bother to vote?

:puke:

12. Ya think they heard us?
Sitting up there in DC, in the fancy offices, doing their fancy schmoozing and rubbing elbows with the elite power structure...

Did they get the message that we are tired of the shit and that if they don't get off their asses and do something about the mess we are in, we will take over the party and they won't be invited back in?

That's us: The Party Crashers. Don't get in our way, fellas, cause we're coming in and taking over. Do what we say or yall are out on the street begging. That's a pretty fair warning, eh?

13. Yep
I sent the DNC an email, said I was 62, a life long democrat but will probably never vote again unless they do something about the voting, also told them never to contact me again for money unless they did something about this election. I also told them my adult children will never vote again because they feel their vote does not count. So what are you going to do about this? The DNC needs and must renew the faith in voters.
