Thank you for the 2004 Election Fraud meeting today. I learned a lot. The most startling fact I heard was that, in the 2000 election, Al Gore actually had more votes than Bush in Florida. Would this not indicate that we have an invalid president running our country?
To think that this could happen again with this 2004 election is inexcusable. Every report of voter and election irregularities favors Bush. You have a Republican Secretary of State who went out of his way to favor the Republican voters while systematically suppressing the Democratic voters. They have voting machines that purposely have no paper trail and made by a company who vowed to deliver the vote to Bush. Then, leveraging the Ohio Revised Statutes, waited till the absolute last day to certify the vote.
We cannot wait to `fix' this next year or the year after. We would forever be in an endless loop of `oh, they stole the election again - we'll get them next time'. No, please, set your foot down now and investigate `this' election.
Our founding fathers were very smart - they provided three branches of government that provides `checks and balances' to prevent atrocities. The `not so often mentioned' forth check and balance is the vote of the citizenship. How on earth are we to remove a renegade elected official (including the President) if we cannot vote them out? What happens if, through fraudulent elections, an operative of some foreign country gets elected as our president? And what happens if he wants to drop some nuclear bombs somewhere? Or how about if the renegade president implements massive changes to our economy and social structures that our country is forever bankrupt?
I urge you to, please for the sake of our nation, investigate this election and schedule an official hearing into this matter and withhold the electoral vote until all votes have been properly counted in Ohio.

Dear Congressman Conyers:
I write to congratulate you, your staff, and the other members of the House Judiciary Committee, for holding hearsings into the widespread and growing allegations of election fraud and voter suppression in the 2004 election cycle. As you are aware, the current voting technology in our nation is a scandal. Faith-based voting is not a legitimate moral option for a free Democratic Society. Widely available statistical evidence, including national evidence of "glitches" in Touchscreen Voting Systems, in which 86 out of 92 cases caused votes to be switched from the voter's intent to cast a ballot to Senator Kerry and instead registered for the incumbent (with only one definite case of the contrary pattern), and results which are difficult if not impossible to reconcile with the evidence of exit polls, make it increasingly clear that the potential liabilities of our existing technology may have actually been exploited for fraudulent purposes in this 2004 election. The suppression of poor, urban, and African American voters in this election cycle, through various dirty tricks which have been well documented, is also a scandal and cannot be tolerated in a free society. We need strict Federal laws prohibiting elections officials from misusing their power for partisan purposes, and then we need to enforce those laws.
Polls show that the dissatisfaction with this state of affairs is widespread and growing: as many as 20% of surveyed voters distrust the results of the 2004 election. I join my fellow citizens in calling on your office to persevere in conducting the investigation begun today into this crisis situation in our American Democracy. Your colleagues from the Republican side of the aisle should be ashamed of themselves for placing their partisanship above the requirements of a fair, open, fraud-free, and accountable election process. Please prevail upon them to join your inquiry or else face the wrath of the voting public in 2006 for abandoning our Democracy and our constitution.
Thank you and God Bless You for all that you have done.
