• That all the
Ohio votes be counted
• That all voting irregularities be
investigated
• That Ohio electors not be seated until
we have an accurate final count
For much more on what has been happening in Ohio
during the recount process, and why we think it is
important that the certification of the electoral
college be delayed, visit
www.votecobb.org. For example, in
Fairfield County, a full recount should have been
ordered when the 3% test sample did not match the
official vote totals. Instead, based on what county
officials said was a recommendation from Secretary
Blackwell's office, the recount was "suspended" so that
they would not have to do a full recount. In
Champaign County, a precinct signature book,
necessary to verify that the number of votes that were
cast, will not be made available to recount observers
until after January 10 (four days after Congress has
counted the Electoral College votes on January 6), per
orders of the Secretary of State.

Outrage: Come to Washington to Defend Democracy
January 6, 2005
The Defend Democracy Rally and Vigil
is planned for Washington, DC, on January 6th, the day
the two houses of Congress meet in joint session to
select the next president of the United States.
Citizens from across the country will be coming to a
vigil and rally starting at noon in Upper Senate
Park (adjacent to the U.S. Capitol) to
demonstrate support for our leaders inside. We want an
honest and transparent vote for president, but if we
can't have that then we want to see Congress reject
electoral votes sent from OH, FL, NC, IN and any other
states in which massive fraud and vote suppression
inflated George W. Bush's totals and diminished John
Kerry's.
