San Diego: Lehto, Collins and Collins, and No Sleepovers

July 29, 2006

Dave Berman

It has been widely discussed in the election integrity community, and reported by Michael Collins in New Zealand's Scoop, that all-star election integrity attorney (and author of the Foreword to my book) Paul Lehto has been retained to lead the legal challenge to the CA-50 election in San Diego. I've blogged about this several times but it is Brad Friedman's BradBlog.com that has led the way, not only with reporting but also organizing actual citizen response. See definition: advocacy journalism.

The word is that Lehto's legal challenge will be filed on Monday. I asked him about this earlier in the week and he suggested the "no basis for confidence" position will be articulated, applying the specifics of the San Diego situation, and no doubt accounting for the surge in organizations issuing such a rejection of the election conditions (never mind the alleged results). A new site set up on this score (with Brad's advocacy) is NoSleepovers.org. They've got some clever merchandise for sale to help the cause. They have a few different items bearing this image:



I also really like this line, found on their About Us page, beneath the list of founding members and their mission statement: "We are fighting this battle here so we don'’t have to fight it there - in 435 Congressional Districts in November." That is so totally right on. We put ourselves at a disadvantage by waiting for the faux "elections" to occur so we can challenge the outcomes after the fact. WE DO NOT CONSENT to the secret and illegal conditions under which these elections will be held and we reject their legitimacy in advance. Voting that is unverifiable to the public is also unverifiable to the media, who should not report what can't be proven.

2. How many "data exchange" partners has YOUR voting machine had?
When thinking of these voting machine sleepovers for a week prior to the election, Remember, democracy has "slept with" everything each voting machine has "slept with" on these "sleepovers", and everything those things have "slept with," and so on, and on.

Worse than STDs, there's about a 100% effective transmission rate once something sleeps with your voting machine. It doesn't have to be human. It's a virus too and can lay dormant on the boot-loader level for years until it springs into its virulent form, or it can be virulent at every election.

10. GOP to voting machines: "Let's Spend the Night Together. . ."
". . .now I need you more than ever. . .I'll satisfy your every need. . .and I know you will satisfy ME. . ."

Who would have thought that the Rolling Stones would provide the soundtrack for the theft of Democracy? And I thought the song was only about SEX. Who would have thought?

The GOP f***king up voting machines. Can't get much more obscene than that.

(Kicked, recommended.)
