from Virginia Dems, to 'secure' Democratic sweep:

Have you heard?

Mark Herring is still locked in close fight to be Virginia's next Attorney General — and we may be headed to a recount.

Will you donate $5 to the Recount Fund to help protect our Democratic sweep?

The lead has switched a dozen times since polls closed Tuesday night. And while I'm confident Mark Herring will join Terry in Richmond to lead Virginia forward if every vote is counted, the integrity of the recount is in question.

Because guess who's the state's attorney for this recount? Ken Cuccinelli.

And guess who's still sending political fundraising emails for the Republican candidate Mark Obenshain? Ken Cuccinelli.

His conflict of interest calls everything into question. We need your help now more than ever.

Will you donate $5 right now to support our fight to make sure every voter's voice is heard?

This election will be decided by a handful of votes and Ken Cuccinelli has a big role to play in how they're counted.

We need to keep our field program running and our offices staffed with organizers to canvass voters who cast provisional ballots.

Please donate $5 right now — to make sure every vote is counted, to help fight for a Democratic sweep, and to stop any chance of Ken Cuccinell interfering in this recount from his perch in the Attorney General's office.

You've stood with us when it mattered before. This is one of those times. We can win with your support.

Let's get back to work,

Michelle

pointed question:

Why the hell hasn't the Dem National Orgs sent money, overseers, and WHATEVER the 10 miles to Virginia to MAKE SURE THE FUCKING RECOUNT IS CORRECT??????

IIRC, the Pubs sent thugs, money, and screamers to Miami to PREVENT a recount in 2000. And now the VA Dem party has to beg money from voters to see that the correct thing is done?

There's something so wrong with this picture that I can't even stand it anymore. I'm so close to done with this shit, I could fucking cry.
