Randi Rhodes: New Hampshire Recount Petition ACCEPTED

[Flint-oid]

This at 4:35, in an interview with someone at BlackBoxVoting.org

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. Did yuo catch our 124 year old lady

who voted?

Oh boy, the oldest person is 114, not only do we have minority report scrubs but now life extension devices.

[jean]

2. and BBV has a fourteen yr old boy working who is doing an unbelievable

amount of work to help with the effort re the whole thing

The guy being interviewed by Randi is Andy Stephenson, Associate Director at Black Box Voting.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. yep

some people still love this country

By the way CALL your congress criters, regardless of party affiliation... the bastards need to know we are on to them

[DELUSIONAL]

8. I heard the boy interviewed on Mike Malloy

and THEN heard that he was 14(hadn't had the voice change yet) which is why Malloy didn't realize the kid was so young.

That was one very smart kid -- his parents must be proud!

I also heard another young man (14) interviewed by Mike Webb -- and then I checked out this kids website-- he was more knowledgeable about the election and issues and the implications for the future than the vast majority of adults in this country.

4. This will rehabilitate Ralph Nader's reputation. Thanks Ralph

[NJ_Lib]

7. The ultimate irony would be for Ralph

to demand and receive a recount in Florida...

Wasn't it the chimps's brother who insisted he be included on the ballot there? Sweet irony... hehehe...

[info being]

12. Kind of seems like Ralph was right all along

[progressiveBadger]

13. I agree

[Pithy Cherub]

5. Ralph rehabilitated?

Will Heaven's Wonders never cease. May it work in Our favor! :)

[realcountrymusic]

15. Don't believe it

Ralph still sucks ass.

[hughee99]

22. Despite all of the predictions

before the election, I don't believe that Nader cost Kerry anything in this election. As far as I can tell, even if all the Nader people voted for Kerry, he wouldn't have picked up any EV's and still would have fallen just short on the popular vote. Considering that at least some Nader voters would have probably stayed home instead of voting for Kerry, I don't see what the big deal was about him running. This recount may be the only impact that Nader had on 2004, and since most people seem to agree that this is a good thing, in the long run, wasn't it good that he ran? I'm not a Nader fan, by any means, but I don't have an issue with a third party canidate running in hopes of pushing their issues into the general election discussion.

[Jawja]

28. No, Nader didn't

cost Kerry anything in this election.

It was the criminal Bush Cartel who more than likely committed election fraud.

[Amigust]

34. When you factor out fraudulent vote tallies,

then how would it stack up?

[FormerOstrich]

6. Thank you IdaBriggs

Our own DU IdaBriggs did this.

I am so impressed that she started the ball rolling.


Thank you IdaBriggs!!!! You deserve a place in history!!!

[Eloriel]

9. Absolutely -- aided and abetted by

DU's own hedda_foil, co-founder of National Ballot Integrity Project
http://www.ballotintegrity.org/

AND some good folks on the ground in NH, AND a bunch of DUers who fax'd Ralph Nader, AND BBV.ORG, AND Randi Rhodes, and who knows who else?

This is citizen activism at its best, folks. We can do this!! We DO have the power, and the more power we exercise, the more we have.

Congratulations to all, and a special toast to Ida and hedda_foil:

:toast:

Edit: btw, Ida is asking for volunteers for more work:

10. Ralph has found his relevence. Thank goodness. GO RALPH!

[Tab]

11. She seems to be the only one who knows about it

She seems to be the only one who knows about it - I can't find any news links anywhere that corroborate this...

[rodeodance]

14. i can not find anything about his issue either

[elepet]

16. And what if it turns out

That somehow NH went to Bush?

[wildflower]

18. If it were because of the machines, then maybe Republicans will help

with ensuring a fair vote with a paper trail next election.

-wildflower

[Amigust]

35. Don't expect Republicans to give up anything they can use to their

advantage. That includes giving up fixable elections.

[crispini]

19. Who cares?

We're already fucked anyway. I wanna know if the voting machines are wrong!

[54anickel]

20. So be it. All the more reason to question the election machinery. It

will hopefully lead to other recounts. More importantly it may help reclaim the democratic fundemental of clean, fair elections before 2006. I think the motivations move well beyond a Kerry win. Personally, I'm hoping for criminal charges. As I tell my Repub friends, Nixon was re-elected too ya know.

[Laelth]

29. What's the worst that could happen?

We lose anyway? Come on, now. We must expose the fraud. We must restore democracy.

Best to all who have done such good work! :toast:

-Laelth

[crispini]

17. YES!!!!!!

I'm off to contribute to Ralph!

Never, EVER, thought I'd say that. Hey, it's in the name of the recount!

[realcountrymusic]

21. umm, didn't we WIN New Hampshire?

I fail to see how this helps in the slightest.

[hippiechick]

23. Precedent setting for the other states in question ...

Nader can pretty much now question the other states he was on the ballot in, ie FLORIDA ... and the Libertarian and Green Candidates can officially petition for recounts in Ohio, New Mexico etc ...

The whole can of worms can be re-opened.



:hippie:

[hughee99]

25. It's also a chance to get an "in depth" look at

voting issues. By picking a relatively small state, I should be easier to determine if the voting was "skewed" to benefit a canidate. If it was, then this can be an issue we can take to other states. I'm sure that this won't change the results of this election, but hopefully, we can put something in place to make sure that a party can't F with the election next time.

[Amigust]

36. What's this about "next time" ? How can elections be made

fair as long as Repubs hold all the political cards? Our ONLY hope at all is to turn THIS election around, not the next one.

This second fraudulent election will remain unchanged ONLY because enough people are willing to take still more up the a__, without kisses or lube. At what point do we finally say en masse "NO MORE !!! THIS WILL NOT STAND !!!"

Screw me over once, you're the fool. Screw me over twice, I'm the fool. Who's up for thirds?

[elepet]

24. yup

that was my point. I guess it somehow serves the cause of righteousness though. Now we we will see if the other states he challenges are red or blue.
Nader vindicated? Do you believe that?

[Greylyn58]

33. Since Nader Was On The Ballot

in NH he can question the election.

NH uses several types of voting...paper ballot, Diebold and Opti-Scan - the ones that seem to be causing the trouble because they have no paper trail.

If Nader can prove a problem or fraud with these two machines, it opens up all the other states with these machines, specifically Ohio and Florida.

This little adventure gets our foot in the door so to speak.

:think:

[rawstory]

26. LINK?

Thanks.

[MsFlorida]

27. and the news stays silent

** soon I hope you have to wish that someone plays send in the clowns for youl

[rawstory]

30. Um, as there's still no link, I don't buy it.

Is this really LBN?

[Mend]

31. Why Did Ralph

pick N.H. to challenge, which Kerry won, instead of Florida, which Kerry "lost"?

[Tab]

32. This is fake... (or wrong)
