One of America's two major election companies, Sequoia Pacific, accused of "irregularities" which resulted in a so-far inexplicable 260,000 additional votes for President Bush in Florida, has a felony 'rap sheet' an arm-long.

Kerry pulling out before election discrepancies were fully explored momentarily slowed public reaction but now small successes are beginning to pile up from an aroused public that " can't wait " for answers.
1. Fourteen members of Congress, led by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, requested a Goverment Accountability Office (GAO) investigation of the 2004 presidential election.
Earlier this week, the GAO announced that it will investigate "the security and accuracy of voting technologies, distribution and allocation of voting machines and counting of provisional ballots."
2. Thanks to the contributions of thousands of Americans, and the leadership of the Green and Libertarian presidential nominees, David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, the pivotal state of Ohio will begin an election recount in the next several weeks. www.Nov3.US NO STOLEN ELECTIONS !
3. In the course of the next two weeks thousands of Ohioans will gather in churches, campuses, and at their state capitol to rally to the defense of their recount ~ while the media gives it little or no play.
4. And finally Ian H. Solomon, associate dean of Yale Law School, writes ( Baltimore Sun ) on November 26th; " MOST MAINSTREAM newspapers have already dismissed stories of voting fraud and voting rights violations in the November election as baseless or irrelevant. Sen. John Kerry's concession is supposed to demonstrate that there is no story here. Give up, go home, it's all over.... But it's not over.
We would like to believe that voting irregularities were identified and corrected, that participants fulfilled their duties appropriately, that the machines performed reliably and that the total discrepancy between voter intention and recorded results was less than the margin of victory in relevant contests.But that conclusion must be reached on the basis of evidence, not blind faith.
My own observations as a volunteer poll watcher in Florida do not give perfect confidence ..... No reasonable argument can be offered against disclosure and accountability. We can afford whatever expense, inconvenience, distraction and possible embarrassment may be caused by an election audit and congressional investigation. What we cannot afford are unresolved doubts about the legitimacy of our democratic government . "

And there you have it ~ we cannot afford unresolved doubts about the legitimacy of our democratic government and I for one cannot wait for someone else to raise these unresolved doubts.
And this is precisely why we can't wait.
Our Democracy is at stake.
