Voting issues are minor and isolated?
Here's a great link to send to anyone who claims the voting irregularities in this year's election are minor and isolated:

http://www.votersunite.org/electionproblems.asp?offset=0&catid=&showall=&sort=

In addition to the list of problems, note that there's a link at the top of the page to maps that illustrate the problems across the nation and in Ohio.

It's a great site for doubters because it is completely non-partisan. In addition, they only include incidents that have been reported in newspapers. Even still, there are a huge number of problems listed and they continue to pile up.

2. 380 of 'em to be exact
And those are, of course, only the one's that newspapers have been willing to report. There are many, many more not on this list. There are, for example, huge numbers of additional problems that were testified to in the Ohio hearings during the last week, most of which are not in this list since newspapers aren't reported them.

5. 57 in Florida, 50 in Ohio, 25 in N.Carolina
That accounts for one-third of the problems in three states.

Whatta coinkydink.

Mass Media In 'Lock Down' - Not To Cover Vote Fraud
By Peter Coyote 11-13-4

On Friday I received a phone call from a good friend who works at CBS
-- I've known her for years and she is a producer for some of the
news programs, one well known one in particular. She tipped me off
that the news media is in a "lock-down" and that there is to be no TV
coverage of the real problems with voting on Nov. 2nd.

She said similar "lock-down orders" had come down last year after the
invasion of Iraq, but this is far worse -- far scarier. She said the
majority of their journalists at CBS and elsewhere in NYC are pretty
horrified -- every one is worried about their jobs and retribution
Dan Rather style or worse.

My source said they've also been forbidden to talk about it even on
their own time but she was pissed and her journalistic and moral
integrity as what she considers to be a gov't watchdog requires her
to speak out, while be it covert and she therefore asked me to
"spread" the word...

She said that journalism and the truth is at stake. She said another
friend of hers, a producer at MSNBC, said that an anchor by the name
of Keith Olbermann had brought it up on his show on Friday eve and
the axe came down. He's at least fighting back and talking about it
on his "Blog", but she said that people there are worried that he's
going to be fired by higher ups. She said at this point the only way
that the "real news" was going to be heard was if the people started
talking about it and made a big enough stink about it to our elected
officials, the FEC, and "noise" to the international media, that our
own media won't have any choice but to cover it.
