Reply #32: Megan, thanks for holding off for the moment on a new board... [View All]

...I really think that on a board entitled (as an example) "Election Reform Advocacy & Action" it will be *crystal-clear* to folks what the discussion topic is...

...frankly, if people didn't think there wasn't something seriously wrong with Ohio in 2004, they wouldn't be here. Personally, I don't care whether they think it was fraud or negligence or bias or incompetence -- *whatever* it was, it violated people's civil rights, and that's why we're here. Even if we *can't* prove fraud, this board *must* exist.

We don't want people leaving the board en masse because they think that "proof of" or "a believe in the existence of" fraud is somehow a prerequisite...(!) What if, as time goes on, evidence of fraud is scarce but evidence of other forms of misconduct is legion? Will people then start leaving this board because its "theme" seems antiquated? We don't want that.

Election misconduct is election misconduct. And not all misconduct is "fraud," but *all* of it -- both the fraud and the non-fraud -- needs to be fixed NOW.
