Fraud in this election
Edited on Fri Jun-06-08 01:31 PM by Juche
What can we do and what can we try to force our representatives to do to ensure this is a legit election and not stolen? What can individuals who are concerned do? I know Obama has a section of his webpage about vote fraud, but Kerry also had alot of money and he gave up w/o a fight. So I'm not sure if Obama would fight back either. So what can the public do? Can we fund exit polls that we will not 'correct' to give the GOP a 4% advantage across the board or what? Would anyone listen to the results?

Also, since McCain is hated by the radical branch of the GOP is there a risk that those people won't really try to defraud this election as they don't like McCain anymore than Obama? Bush was like catnip to the radicals in the republican party because he seemed to share their idealogical extremism. But McCain is too 'moderate' to really get the kinds of people who engage in vote fraud motivated enough to steal an election. I have a harder time imagining a dittohead going through such trouble to steal an election for McCain as for Bush.

2. Grassroots work
poll watchers to start with. Lawyers ready to challenge any irregularity. And finally, a candidate willing to FIGHT about this and now roll over and play dead. From what I've seen of Obama and his organization, I'd say we are on the road to being ready.

4. we can sign up to be election workers
we can take video cameras to the polling stations.

we can take our own exit polls.

we can demand to see the entire voting results posted and counted at each precinct.

we can work to expose the fraud like we have in the past only more so.
