affected African American voters

• Inexplicable vote disparities

• Voting Rights Act Violations

• Recount did not recount all the votes

• Challenge at January 6 Joint Session of Congress

WHY:


TO PROVIDE FULL BACKGROUND ON KEY ASSERTIONS PRIOR TO THE HISTORIC
CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGE TO THE 2004 VOTE


PARTIAL LIST OF EVIDENCE:


There is clear and compelling evidence that the election was stolen. By
examining a very wide range of sworn testimonies from voters, polling
officials and others close to the administration of the Nov. 2
election; by statistical analysis of the certified vote by
mathematicians, election experts and independent research teams who
have conducted detailed studies of the results in Ohio, Florida,
Pennsylvania, and elsewhere; from experts who studied the voting
machines, tabulators and other electronic equipment on which a fair
vote count has depended; and from a team of attorneys and others who
have challenged the Ohio results; the freepress.org investigative team
has compiled a portrait of an election whose true outcome must be
investigated further by the Congress, the media and all Americans --
because it was almost certainly not an honest victory for George W.
Bush.

Crucial flaws in the national vote count, most importantly in the
national popular vote, and in Ohio and Florida indicate John Kerry was
the actual winner on November 2, as reported in national exit polls. At
the very least, the widespread tampering with how the election was
conducted, and how Ohio's votes were counted and re-counted, has
compromised this nation's historic commitment to free and fair
elections.

George W. Bush's ‘victory' appears to have resulted from multiple frauds
– a GOP ‘do-whatever it takes' strategy to win the state that swung the
election.

The questionable votes far exceed Bush's margin of victory in Ohio.

The Bush-Cheney ‘do what ever it takes" strategy in Ohio covered a very
wide range of tactics, from disenfranchisement of minority voters to
discarding of ballots to tampered tabulators and much more. Taken as a
whole, this compendium of error, fraud, cover-up and contempt indicates
that this was not a legitimate election, and is not worthy of being
certified by the Congress of the
United States.

Thirty disenfranchised voters on the Freedom Winter bus ride from
Columbus, Ohio to Washington, D.C. will be present to share their
voting horror stories with the media.
