Just Prove It: A National Campaign
(Kos)

Alan Waldman, in today's Orlando Weekly, [guess he didn't get the `blackout memo'] reminds all of us:

"Election results are not final until electors vote on Dec. 12. There is still time to find the truth."

I am advocating a National Campaign: "Prove To Me My Vote Was Counted, Now"

Simple message:

American citizen, do you know if your vote was counted as you intended it to be.

American citizen, do you know that 30 % of you used a technology that has no verifiable record of how you intended to vote.

American citizen, would you put your money in a bank or use a credit card that didn't verify, penny by penny, the status of your account.

American citizen, pick up the phone and call your friends, your Congress representatives, your newspapers, your TV/radio stations, your President and ask `Prove to me my vote was counted the way I intended it to be; Just Prove it.'

Can we mobilize at dKos and all other responsible blogs and organizations like MoveOn, Common Cause, etc., to broadcast that message -- "Just Prove It."

Have them create ads, with appropriate imagery, and get them on during 'prime time' and 'early morning radio.'

Call/email, Oprah and Larry King and Olbermann and.....and, request that they take 5 min during their program and ask those questions just once.

We an get the vote counted, verifiably, now.

We can, if we want to.

This Is Our Nation, remember; It's time we start acting like we mean it.

This sounds good.  When I was reading about the tallies in some of the smaller counties in Ohio and Florida, with precincts with about 600-1000 votes cast, with lists of who voted, it occured to me that it would be a relatively simple task to sample those areas, ask them, in the case of Ohio, if they meant not to choose a candidate for President (5-27% in certain precincts.)  If you remember, in 2000, in Florida, that was one of the "untold" stories, the "undervotes".  I remember seeing a little gray haired lady on TV, saying "why in the hell would I have gone to vote and not chosen a Presidential candidate??"  Voters  don't throw away their votes..........

This has been suggested before, and it is not too late to audit the vote by giving people from the suspect precincts who voted a random, unique ID number and having them call in their votes to a telephone based tabulator.

If the tally is off, then call each of these voters into Congress to testify, in closed session, to their votes and the fact that the totals offered by Election officials are absolutely wrong.
