7. Instead of a general one with too many links.. how about a short one that
Edited on Sat Dec-11-04 02:35 AM by henslee
gives a heads up the upcoming Mon. events and that explains that state recounts have happened before. That way the recipient can feel like he/she is really in the know and that the sender is in fact credible. That way he/she will be more likely to respond to senders next email. Heres what I sort of came up with....(plese correct any errors)

Subject line: This Mon is an historical day....

Text: Early Mon. Morning, key election fraud cases will be
filed in OH on behalf of 40 individuals that could very well
impact the Ohio recount by exposing both election errors and fraud.

Finally, election fraud/recount efforts in Ohio will no longer
be ignored by the mainstream media!

Here's the rest of Mon. schedule:

At 10:30 a.m., a press conference being held by Senator
Conyers, Sen. Nadler, Jesse Jackson and others
will update the press on the Ohio voter fraud situation.

Also, an injunction will be requested to delay the
tramsittal of OH's electoral votes to its electors,
subject to the completion of a full state recount.

The last time a full state Pres. recount happened was
Kennedy vs. Nixon in 1960. The state was Hawaii.
Kennedy challenged the results and here's how they
resolved the elector deadline vs. recount conflict...
They created a second set of electors in addition to the
first, which had Nixon as victor. The new electors were to
award the votes to whomever won the recount which ended up
being Kennedy -- so it was this second set of electors who went
to D.C on Jan. 12 of 1961.

This 1960 recount did not effect the Pres. results but in 2004,
though a longshot, it just may. Either way, counting all the
votes is a good thing for democracy.
