Based on the increasing number of fraud reports I've been
seeing, such as:
I-Team investigation uncovers voter registration fraud
I'm preparing an email for family members to share with
their mailing lists.

Here's a variant of it that is specific to the SwiftVet initiative.
Consider sharing it to your mailing lists after allowing a day
or so for comments here.

Subject: Will you be turned away on November 2nd?

If you are voting for someone other than John Kerry on
02 Nov, will you be allowed to vote? If you are merely
abstaining from voting for President, are you sure no
one else is casting your vote for you?

This email is unfortunately not a hoax or urban legend.
Share it with any people whose votes you care about.
This is particularly important in "battleground" states.

1. Register in person

Unless you registered to vote in person at an official
location, you may not be registered, or you may have a
defective registration. You need to verify your voter
registration status in person with your local elections
office.

2. Verify it

There is some chance that even if you were properly
registered, and even voted in the primaries, someone
has since tampered with (filed a change on) your
registration, either to enable someone else to vote
as you, or just to deny your vote. Verify your
registration. Do this as late as possible (still
with time to fix it)

3. Look for abuse

If you gave personal information to a door-to-door,
telephone or web "get-out-the-vote" operation, there
may be fictional voters signed up as members of your
family or as unrelated people living at your address.
When you verify, ask who else is registered at your
address, or with your same name.

4. Vote as early as possible

If your locale allows it, you need to consider voting
absentee, and as early as possible, to forestall the
ability of someone else to impersonate you and steal
your vote.

In Kansas, for example, you can register up to 15 days
before the election, but vote as early as 20 days
before. So register NOW, and then you can complete
steps #2/3/4 on October 13.

Although the legacy media is not eager to report it, the
2004 election promises to include significant levels of
vote fraud. Ineligible voters, multiple voters, voter
impersonation (vote theft) and registration interference
have all been reported.

3rd-party registration drives cannot be trusted with
something as important as your vote.

Innocent error is possible with any group, but the more
radical organizations are actually invalidating or simply
not filing the registrations of voters not sympathetic
to their candidate. They are also creating additional
fictional registrations based on real addresses, names
and other personal info.

You need to take steps to ensure that your vote or
abstention counts, and that information about you is
not being used to enable fraudulent votes.

It just makes me sick! I would be so damn mad ifg I went to vote and someone had already voted in my place as a fraud.

Lord help us all!
