Most voters in Ohio chose Kerry. Here's how the votes vanished. By Greg Palast This February, Ken Blackwell, Ohio's Secretary of State, told his State Senate President, "The possibility of a close election with punch cards as the state’s primary voting device invites a Florida-like calamity." Blackwell, co-chair of Bush-Cheney reelection campaign, wasn't warning his fellow Republican of

By Steven Rosenfeld In Ohio, questions persist about intentional or accidental voting mishaps. Which voting problem cost Kerry the most votes may never be known. Kerry's fate aside, Air America's Steven Rosenfeld's investigation found the inadequate supply of polling machines in Ohio may constitute a civil rights violation.

Investigate The E-Vote Friday 2:42 PM A little more than a week after Election Day, the reports are rolling in of some unsettling trends concerning electronic voting machines. In Columbus, Ohio, for example, the machines registered several hundred more votes for Bush than the number of total voters who cast ballots. And in North Carolina, a voting machine lost more than 4,000 votes because of

Yes, I know it is a distraction from organizing and pulling our movement together, however it does serve a purpose. Educating our fellow Americans on voter fraud, voter suppression and errors with electronic voting machines is necessary if we ever hope to have a real democracy. Here are a few sites

Friends, Like all of you, I am terribly disappointed by the choice 51% of America made yesterday. It was one made out of ignorant fear, greed and biggotry. Fortuately, 49% of voting America saw through the scare tatics and smear campaigns. I have received several emails and phone calls regarding the tragedy.

Update: The margin in Ohio is now under 100,000 votes. This one is not over. Kerry campaign statement: “The vote count in Ohio has not been completed. There are more than 250,000 remaining votes to be counted. We believe when they are, John Kerry will win Ohio.” Lawyers are heading out to Ohio to demand a fair count.

WE DEMAND TO HAVE EVERY VOTE COUNT!!! EVERY VOTE!!! It would be irresponsible for John Kerry to concede this election until every single vote has been counted. It does not matter if it takes two weeks or two months, we want every vote to count. There is no certainty in the numbers now available. There are ballots yet to be counted, all voters have a right to be heard. This country, our nation

The reports from around the State of Wisconsin continue to be very positive. However, I was still concerned about the rural/farm/dairy vote.

George Bush is the first president since Herbert Hoover--in the early 1930s--to have fewer Americans working at the end of his term than when he started. Other presidents have had wars, recessions and other catastrophes, but they still managed to guide the economy uphill, except for George Bush. In contrast, the Clinton

In addition, Kerry signs and bumper stickers are clearly outnumbering those of the Bushistas. Bush’s spending and almost daily appearances in the state should be giving him an advantage, it is not.

Last week a former employee at the voter registration firm Sproul & Associates in Las Vegas--run by ex-Arizona Christian Coalition head Nathan Sproul and funded with $600,000 of GOP-money--said he witnessed co-workers shredding new applications of registered Democrats. (Investigations are under way in Oregon and West Virginia into similar Sproul allegations.) Now this week Nevada Judge Valerie

Well friends, we confronted Dick Cheney today in his visit to Green Bay. His supporters yelled “four more years” and we chanted back “twelve more days”. A number of Bush supporters showed us their middle fingers. Nice! When anti-Cheney protesters outnumber his supporters, they are in trouble!!

Good evening friends. I spent another interesting day going door-to-door in working class neighborhoods in Green Bay. Talking with folks about the campaign and issues of importance to working people, like health care, social security, etc.. I really feel that I can make a difference. You can as well. If you have not volunteered yet, now is the time. Get involved, this is the most important

WISCONSIN POLLS STARTING TO TREND TOWARDS KERRY In one new poll by Wisconsin Public Radio and the St. Norbert College Survey Center of 401 likely voters taken Oct. 4 to 13, Kerry led in the state 48% to 43%. A Wisconsin poll released Sunday by Rasmussen Reports put the race at 48% for Kerry and 47% for Bush - a breakdown almost identical to the actual 2000 results in the state (Al Gore 48%,

I spent most of the day recruiting volunteers to man our get out the vote (GOTV) effort over the next two weeks. We are also planning a volunteer rally for Sunday.

What a day my friends. What a day. First let me update you on Bill Gutschow’s efforts down in Milwaukee. Bill spent the day canvassing in the working class neighborhoods of Milwaukee. He reports that Kerry is supported by the overwhelming number of people he talked with. Bill finished his day on the Union Phone bank effort. Bill is quite proud he moved some folks who were leading towards Bush

Our boots are on the ground! Bill and I landed in Wisconsin prior to noon today, (Bill in Milwaukee and me in Green Bay). Things went smooth with the flights, transportation and our rooms. I spent the day getting to know the area I have been assigned to for the next 16 days. I pinned a big Kerry button on my jacket and received numerous comments, both positive and negative.

It is early Saturday morning here in Upstate NY. I worked late Friday to get myself caught on my work so my mind could be free of the normal pressures. Free to give the Kerry campaign my all in Wisconsin. As I drove home tonight, my mind tried to imagine what the next few weeks will bring. As political as I am, as political as I have been all my life, the negativity put out by the Bushistas has

Dear Friends, Hello, we are Jim Wasser and Gene Thorson, union members and Vietnam veterans who served on swift boats with John Kerry. We saw John Kerry under the toughest conditions you can imagine. And, we saw that John Kerry could not be shaken. He has what it takes to lead America. As union members, we also know that John Kerry won’t back down in the fight for working families. Under his

October 10, 2004 By: Editorial Board Seattle Post-IntelligencerJohn Kerry should be the next president of the United States. This endorsement is based not only on President Bush's failings -- which are manifest -- but also on the conclusion that Kerry can succeed where Bush has failed. (READ WHOLE EDITORIAL CLICK HERE)

U.S. House Majority Leader, Republican Tom DeLay is a serial ethics violator and it looks like he may be getting his just rewards. Who can forget his blatantly partisan actions in his redistricting plan for Texas. These actions illegally limited the ability of Democrats to get elected to the US House from Texas. Folks are starting to see inside Tom's glass house and what they see is not pretty.

I will concede Bush looked more in control, better prepared and more Presidential then he did in the last debate. Where Bush failed was in substance. Bush’s rationale for severely limiting Embryonic Stem Cell Research was wishy washy at best. Kerry stuck it to him on this issue and more. Simply put, Bush’s idiotic rational for limiting this new science is killing people. Embryonic Stem Cell

Since the reports from Wisconsin won’t start until October 17th, I'll share with you my latest rant: The Bushistas have pulled all the dirty tricks out of their tool chest. Smear, lie and mislead is all they seem capable of. Bush’s weapons of mass destruction have turned into his weapons of mass deception. It appears that France, the Germans & Russians were right when they urged us to support

Wisconsin, here we come!!! All the arrangements have been made: flights, reservations and transportation. I plan to hit the ground running once I arrive in Green Bay. My flight gets in around 10:30 a.m. and if everything works out, I’ll be out on the streets working for change by 12:30 p.m. on 10/17. Back here in Upstate New York we have finished up our voter registration drive. It is amazing how

DAILY REPORT FOR 10.6.04. Cheney’s tactics in the debate were evade, attack and evade. When the Vice President was confronted with reports that L. Paul Bremer stated that the United States had “paid a big price” for insufficient troop levels after the war, Cheney refused to respond directly. When Edwards confronted Cheney on his ties with Halliburton and that Halliburton paid millions of dollars

The polls show John Kerry improving. The race has tightened considerably since Kerry kicked Bush's ass in last Thursday’s debate. I am optimistic about the presidential election and more hopeful everyday we will be able to "take this country back". The "ridiculous right" has attempted to reshape this great nation in their image. It looks like the American people are smarter then this gang of
