After some searching, I found a great diary about election reform that can be summed up thusly: GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES!  

People interested in election reform and worried about stolen elections need to become judges of elections in precincts and counties all around the nation.

We need to be the observers of our elections too, since we know the mainstream media will not do it.  If anyone out there is a software developer that wants to get his or her hands dirty observing (and hopefully preventing) election fraud, follow me beneath the fold.

I posted this diary yesterday, and it slid off the list without much interest. I've decided to repost it, with a little more substance and a different title, because I think this is a very important issue (and a good idea).

I would guess that no person reading this diary fails to appreciate the risks presented by Republican dirty tricks this November.  Wouldn't it be great if we could monitor the vote everywhere in the country in real time?  

Follow be beneath the fold to find out what we can do.

The American bodyguards of a Bush administration envoy who was dispatched to the region to monitor the implementation of the road map engaged in a violent confrontation with right-wing Israelis who sought to disturb a visit to Hebron on Friday, Israel Radio reported.

That doesn't quite fit into the standard narrative, does it?

I don't have much time to write, so I'm just going to post the email I just sent to the edwards campaign.  I sent this to info@johnedwards.com

Who knows if it will ever get read.

They really need help.  

I don't know what kind of help, that is what this diary is about.

"They" are Wes Teel, John Whitfield, Paul Minor, and Don Siegelman.

They're political prisoners.  

Don't have much to say about this NIE business, that hasn't been said all over these tubes.
