And conditions in voting precincts across the country are rather messy, but they are only doing one thing: counting votes. Addition, subtraction, ballot tampering. On the cover of "Witness to a Crime: A Citizens' Audit of an American Election," there's a photo of a ballot with a sticker over a Kerry vote and the oval above filled in for Bush. Dr. Phillips personally audited the 2004 election in Ohio, and at least two people went to jail. Unfortunately, the convictions were long after Mr. Bush was inaugurated.

I would like to declare an Election Emergency, effective 11/9/16, and stop our stupid zombie march toward inauguration. The truth can be established, and the time is now.
