TAKE ACTION: House Comm Said to Dismiss Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney Election Contest Tuesday Morning!

House Admin Committee Set to Dismiss Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney Election Challenge According to Curtis Campaign

Contest to be Dismissed During Tuesday Mark-up Session of Rush Holt's Election Reform Bill

'Insufficient Evidence' Given as Reason, Despite Failure by Committee to Review 'Hard Evidence' Collected...

===

This came to us too late on Monday to get confirm from Capitol Hill sources, so we're gonna run with what we have for now with that caveat.

The campaign of Clint Curtis (D), the vote-rigging/Tom Feeney whistleblower who challenged Feeney (R-Abramoff) for the U.S. House seat in Florida's 24h Congressional district last November, has told The BRAD BLOG that the U.S. House Administrative Committee is set to dismiss Curtis' Congressional contest of the race --- filed under the Federal Contested Elections Act --- when the committee meets on Tuesday morning.

Though they've yet to examine the "hard evidence" the Curtis campaign says they've collected in the matter, the reason for the dismissal, as given to campaign manager, Marty Ward by a Capitol Hill staffer, was "insufficient evidence". Ward says that two different offices have informed the campaign of the committee's plan to dismiss the case tomorrow.

Ward told us tonight, however, that Congress hasn't even seen, much less investigated, the "hard evidence" in the form of sworn affidavits from voters that the campaign's volunteers have collected over the past several months via door-to-door canvassing in the district. The results of that canvass, the campaign says, reveal that Curtis' votes, as tallied on Florida's paperless touch-screen voting systems, were under-reported by anywhere from 12% to 24% per precinct so far canvassed.

The campaign's reaction to this sudden turn of events, along with House Commitee Contact numbers and email address, which they are asking folks to use prior to Tuesday's morning's meeting, are posted at the link below...

Wrote this to the committee members:

My name is Cat Sullivan and I am a constituent in the 47th district in Seattle Washington. I am writing to you today to urge you all to consider the investigation into the voting discrepancies happening in Florida especially but also in Louisiana, OH, NH, as well as other places. The very idea you would even consider a bill certifying voting machines is beyond absurd, it is downright frightening. I worked with Andy Stevenson and Bev Harris around these voting machines and as a network administrator familiar with programing and computer hardware, I can tell you, paper ballots and hand counting is by far the most accurate and fair way to ensure every vote counts. In Canada, where ballots are hand counted, they are able to publish accurate returns a few hours after the polls close with every vote counting, why is this so hard to consider?

Also the contested race in Florida has some serious evidence that you really should consider, do not sweep it under the rug. Citizens have signed their names to eye witness accounts, and if you refuse to listen to your own citizens, then whom do you represent? I ask this question in all seriousness because if you refuse to consider sworn testimony, then it is clear to the American people the sacred right vote is not taken seriously enough by you as our sworn representatives who SAID they would uphold the Constitution. I remind you; people have DIED for this right and you have a sworn duty to look into every nook and cranny of this issues, it is your job!

VERY Sincerely Yours,
Catherine L. Sullivan

He's also part of the challenge in his race vs Ginny Brown-Waite in Florida's 5th district.

He said their attorney still has some moves planned this morning, and they'll know more after about 10:00am this morning. This seems to explain the delay in the state courts, giving them an excuse to throw out the lawsuit.
