Two Years Ago Today...
... The Ohio Recount started in the 88 counties of the Buckeye State. I will never forget the feeling of being part of history, and even though Blackwell basically stalled everything and made the actual "counting" useless, the Ohio Recount was a major force that led to the ongoing Election Integrity movement as we know it now.

For many of us who were on the ground there that day, it was a life-changing experience. Once we dealt with the messes we saw and the shenanigans of Blackwell, there was no going back on this issue.

For those of you who don't know the story, please see the website of the Ohio Recount preserved here:
http://www.iwantmyvote.com/recount/

(and a search of the DU archives from that time will produce some pretty exciting stuff too -- those where heady days on this forum!)

NGU (still!)

2. On the other thread about the Ohio recount you mentioned that
your testimony has not been heard. I assume there other people being heard who witnessed the same things that you did but you know what happens when you assume. If there aren't you need to find a way to get your message out.

Also, thanks for doing all of the critically important work that you do.
