SOS: recount volunteers please

We just got word yesterday that we need to have a huge list of volunteer re-counters to the court by this coming Monday (10 September) at 1pm.  The recount itself will start Thursday at 9am.  It will be carried out at each of the county seats of the 14 Vermont counties.  The process should not take very long for any given county since there are only 1003 Progressive Party ballots for the whole state.

This is about much more than who wins this particular election.  This is also a way of challenging the the grip of the two (or three) parties, of letting in some air into a very closed electoral system.

As a vote re-counter you will be on a team of 4 others.  In principle, 2 on the team will "represent" Annette and two, Martha.  One member will "call" out a ballot result, an opposing representative will look at the ballot and confirm the call.  A third member will record the call and a fourth will double-check that recording.

If you are willing to go to the county seat of your county at 9am Thursday 10 September, then please email me listing contact information required by the court:

    Dear Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos,
    is it fraud for you to seriously and willfully
    and intentionally conceal the results of the Primary Election and refuse to reveal to the
    registered voters of Vermont who won the Progressive Party Primary Election for U.S. Senate?

    Isn't it peculiar that you are with-holding these results?

    All of the votes were write-in votes,
    and all of the voters are being disenfranchised
    as long as you conceal the results.

    How many Federal Laws are you violating?

    Please respond!
    Ms. Cris Ericson
    usmjp@aceweb.com
    Candidate for Governor and for U.S. Senate
    for the United States Marijuana Party
    and maybe
    also
    the winner of the Progressive Party Primary;
    who knows?

    Jim Condos knows.
