Do we have a list of Dem lawmakers working on voting machine fraud?
I need to direct a reporter interested in looking into it more, but am not sure exactly what Dems are leading the charge.

And I don't mean what Dems KNOW about it, but what Dems are actually working to expose the machine fraud.

1. Kucinich knows about it and is trying I think. Rush Holt has legislation.

John Conyers knows about the stealing of OH.

But I don't know any Dem who is convinced outright of machine fraud & is working to make people aware of it. This is the challenge: to awaken the sleeping Dems.

Just this morning Mark Crispin Miller was on C-Span pushing his book about the last stolen election. He made a very persuasive presentation and answered the few callers who opposed or who were just interested in name calling and so on (the only thing that can be used against his fact-based arguments) with clarity and precision.

I'll be watching this post to see if anybody else has anybody in mind. Howard Dean should know about the scam, but he's certainly not pushing strongly for a paper ballot print-out and audits.

2. Voting machines are THE issue I would like to see make Rush Holt a senator
I only wish that he had convinced his old CIA buddies about machine fraud before 2004.

Dems needed SOMEBODY looking out for them, since Terry MacAuliffe didn't believe in the machine fraud. The time to deal with the machines is BEFORE an election. Afterwards is too late, as rigged machines are set up for one time use and thenn all evidence is erased.

3. Maxine Waters, Stephanie Tubb Jones in addition to Conyers (main) on

the Senate side, I hardly see anyone. The only possible one is Russ Feingold, who even has an interest in Voting Rights, however his concern is more focussed on campaign finance.
However it is within the realm of the Judiciary Committee.

5. I never heard Feingold mention voting machine fraud. Does he believe it?

4. Google this...
"Democratic Caucus Special Committee on Election Reform"

Hope this helps!

6. All Dems are pro-access, but it doesn't address machine fraud in any
specific way.

And therein lies the real problem.
