TFLers, please use the power of the internet to help prevent another liberal fraud from being perpetrated upon the American people.
I just recieved this email from a (liberal) friend of mine:

I checked the other site, it appears legit. They already have everything set up to send mail requesting a revote> We MUST prevent this. If you are to dumb to read a ballot, you are too dumb to have your vote count.
I sent the following email:
"Dear Election Director Roberts:
The integrity of the 2000 Presidential election now rests in your hands. Please use the full power of your office to PREVENT re-vote of the Presidential race in Palm Beach County!! Allowing anyone to change their vote AFTER an election is very wrong, and against court precedent.
(See http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel110900.shtml)
(Nelson v. Robinson, 301 So.2d 508, Fla. Ct. App. 2d Dist., 1974.) "Keeping in mind that we are talking about a claim made after an election, and not one which may have been enforceable before, if a candidate appears on the ballot in such a position that he can be found by the voters upon a responsible study of the ballot, then such voters have been afforded a full, free and open opportunity to make their choice for or against that particular candidate; and the candidate himself has no constitutional right to a particular spot on the ballot which might make the voters' choice easier. His constitutional rights in the matter end when his name is placed on the ballot. Thereafter, the right is in the voters to have a fair and reasonable opportunity to find it; and as to this, it has been observed that the constitution intended that a voter search for the name of the candidate of his choice and to express his of the candidate of his choice without regard to others on the ballot. Furthermore, it assumes his ability to read and his intelligence to indicate his choice with the degree of care commensurate with the solemnity of the occasion".
Please do not make a mockery of our institution of democracy. Do NOT allow a re-vote. It is wrong and unfair to the millions of voters whose intelligence is "commensurate with the solemnity of the occasion".'
Sincerely,
[registered voter]
Please flood them!
