Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections

Moreno — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 04:06:25 +0000

I had mentioned this at the meeting tonight. I said I would follow up with more details, and here they are.

This film will play Saturday October 25th at 7:00 PM

This presentation will be held in room 309. All are welcome to attend; no admission will be charged. Attendees will view a new video documentary entitled “Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections,” which exposes how American voters were cheated during elections in both 2004 and 2006–and why this will likely happen again in 2008. Afterward, they can enjoy a discussion with Bruce Funk, who served as Emery County’s Clerk until he was fired for “blowing the whistle.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7tjnuG-l6g

This film is being presented admission free. Most likely conservative activists in Utah County.

I believe people should take this very seriously. Here you have conservatives who are not Al Gore fans , yet they are sponsoring a film stating Al Gore was cheated out of the 2004 election by vote fraud.

It wasn’t the Electoral College, and it wasn’t Ralph Nader. It was vote fraud.

We’ve had a great turn out at our debate watch parties. I hope that you will join us for this one. This debate will have a Town Hall format. Which means that the candidates will be answering questions presented by the audience or online viewers. And, as I’ve said before, it should be interesting. See you there.

This event will be held in conjunction with a social for Human Rights Campaign.

The VP debate

Jeremiah — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 22:13:53 +0000

While it seems like the media is trying to tell us the VP debate was a tie, there was no doubt in the minds of the 80+ liberals at Saints and Sinners that Biden took it handily. Sure, we gave Palin credit where it was due - after all her head didn’t explode with all the facts that Biden was throwing at her. But then she didn’t really seem to be attention to them anyway. Same for the questions being asked of her.

To me the debate wasn’t nearly as entertaining as I thought it would be, so it’s a good thing we had bingo cards. Many people got bingo - I think I even heard of someone that got a blackout. KUTV 2 showed up early in the night and interviewed Heather, Laura and I. While they didn’t post the video, you can read the article here. KSL 5 showed up a little later and chatted with Misty at Saintless and Sheryl with Democracy for Utah. Watch the video here. Even the Deseret News showed up and chatted with us for a bit.

Overall it was a fun night, despite a few logistical issues. We hope everyone had a good time. There are a few photos over in our Flickr pool.
