In response to General Clark's call to action to Help Christine fight for electoral justice, WesPAC raised the targeted $20,000 in just over 24 hours!

You can still chip in. Here's Clark's post today at Clark Community Network:

Congratulations!

Thanks to the generosity of our WesPAC community, we reached our goal of raising $20,000 for Christine Jenning’s recount fund a full week ahead of schedule.

The ongoing recount in FL-13 is fast becoming an important test case for electronic voting, and the results of this battle will certainly have a major impact on voting throughout our country. It is a testament to our community that we would so quickly seize the opportunity to make sure that Christine has the resources needed to ensure that every intended vote is counted.

Thank you again for your generous help and support. It will certainly make a big difference as Christine fights for electoral justice!

If you haven't had an opportunity to contribute to Christine Jennings recount fund, there is still time, just click here.

The only reason they could possibly not get it is corruption.

It doesn't matter how SMALL the sample is going to be, the votes are gone. The only thing left is an unvalidatable record.

Electronics are invisible.
Paper is visible.

The election officials are in effect saying, fuck your vote, it don't mean shit, and you don't have the right to vote under the constitution.

The election officials are domestic terrorists. General Clark (If he still is a General, I haven't checked) Should uphold his sworn OATH to protect the fucking constitution.

This isn't a media issue anymore, it's a national security issue.

And if the people who swore oaths to protect the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic ain't doing their job, then they have broken their fucking OATH.

SPRAY PAINT THAT ON THE SIDE OF YOUR LOCAL MEDIA.
IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.

I about had it with this shit.

Phil,

I may have said it less crudely, but I sure couldn't have said it better.

Or, in other words, me too.

Wes Clark is a true American hero. He has stepped up to the biggest problem in America. He seems to be the only Democrat to truly understand how important Fl 13 is to our democracy. Wes Cl;ark for President.
In addition to everything else, he will clean up Iraq and get us out of Bush's total hellish mess.

As more and more information keeps coming in, it seems to me that there's really only one difference between FL-13 and a lot of other congressional races in FL, like districts 24, 7, 5, & 8. In 13, the person or persons who hacked the vote screwed up and made it completely obvious. It's becoming clear that the other districts around had their votes tampered with as well, but proving that is taking a lot of time and leg-work. So if we can't get a re-vote when the tampering is completeley obvious, there certainly won't be one in other districts where numbers aren't rediculously wrong, and proof of the hack is harder to come by. I know the entrenched powers are going to do everything they can to avoid fairness becoming injected into our voting system, but with enough support, we can make this interminable foot-dragging by election officials politically ruinous, and they'll be forced to comply. So, go to Sarasota on Sunday! I'll see you there.

Right on, but it is not only Florida but most other states as well. Only "close" results get any attention at all despite the fact that "close" results may be only a measure of the closeness of the magnitude of the fraud needed to win any election and the amount of fraud used in that election. The closeness of the voter's choices can not be determined by the closeness of any fraudulent count. Nobody seems to let that fact bother them at all!

As a Floridian, let me tell ya - we need to start something like NABPAC (Never Another Bush Political Action Committee).

We need a couple hundred million dollars stored up that can be used against Jeb Bush and any other bloodsucking Bush relative that ever again seeks state or federal office.

If the Republicans lose the presidency in 2008 - you can be your bottom dollar that Jeb Bush is running in 2012.

And if we don't have voting machines with intregity by then, he'll win. Take it from a Floridian, you DON'T want that to happen.

Good for Wes Clark! That is great news!

A democrat who takes votes seriously. There is hope.

When they test the machines they should set the date to Nov 7.

"When they test the machines they should set the date to Nov 7."

That won't help if malicious code was involved because the code can have done one of two things:

Either it can have watched the dates and known the date change for what it was and ignored it (virus writers easily handle this sort of trick all the time)...

...Or (and the most likely option) the code will have deleted itself after the election thus making a cursory audit futile... and for all of the security theater being handwaved for the benefit of the press this audit has "cursory" stamped all over it.

If they truly meant to actually audit the machines they would have taken a fair sampling apart and examined them... including the source code.

But as our democracratic process is a "proprietary tade secret" they won't do the right thing.
