TO BE IMMEDIATELY ASKED OF ANY NEWS MEDIA:  

This week, newspapers in West Virginia and Tennessee reported that voters who have attempted to vote on the ES&S electronic voting machines have run into the frightening problem of vote-flipping on their choice for President – which appears to occur only when voters opt for straight party line voting.

It will be the only way we can demand that problems be corrected and legitimate solutions be created – before ELECTION RESULTS ARE CERTIFIED.

You are our only hope left for restoring the democracy at home that we fight for across the world.
