Well folks we are almost home with the funds for the OHIO recount. The Administration may have forgotten that the true mandate for change lies in the hands of the people, but we certainly have not. NOTE: This is NOT about overturning the election results. This is about fighting for the civil right of having a transparent & reliable voting system.
The debate over vote irregularities has ranged from hysterical panic to practically being a taboo subject in some circles. If you want to discuss why, I recommend

11/11 - David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the 2004 presidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, today announced their intentions to file a formal demand for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio.
"Due to widespread reports of irregularities in the Ohio voting process, we are compelled to demand a recount of the Ohio presidential vote. Voting is the heart of the democratic process in which we as a nation put our faith. When people stand in line for hours to exercise their right to vote, they need to know that all votes will be counted fairly and accurately. We must protect the rights of the people of Ohio, as well as all Americans, and stand up for the right to vote and the right for people's votes to be counted. The integrity of the democratic process is at stake," the two candidates said in a joint statement.
