Reply #29: somewhat right message, wrong target

[chorti]

It seems that Perlstein has a somewhat right message but should be talking to the DNC and some of the voting groups who seemed to have been totally unprepared. If we at DU and many hundreds of thousands of others are working at this so hard, it is primarily because the Demo establishment is missing in action.

These are some of the questions that the Village Voice should be asking:

1. Why was there no preparation for an extensive county-by-county and precinct-by-precinct data analysis team by the DNC and the well-monied voting groups?

2. Why were so few people/organizations paying attention to the distribution of voting machines before November 2?

3. Why has the Ohio Democratic Party not mandated to each county DEM organization that they must fight like H&LL to get every vote hand counted?

This is not the time to begin to systematically analyze the whole process and come up with a thoughtful, systemic proposal for reform of the voting process, part of which would be the JJJr proposal. I'm not sure if that time will come later ... I hope it will. But today, this is the time - the last chance - to fight to keep * out of office.
