--Focus on the REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS. Go to your local election office. Ask for registration applications received en masse. Examine the forms. Look for: Mispellings of street names or other names repeated thoughout the forms; the same handwriting appearing repeatedly; illegible signatures; addresses that don't seem to make sense; registants known to be felons; and the same name appearing as the "registration deputy." Call some of the "registrants" whom you suspect did not actually register and ask them flat out whether they did.
--Ask the election official at your office whether anything is being done to ensure that registrants have presented a valid i.d. when they register. Demand that they do so. Tell them you volunteer to be a "special registration deputy" and that you will look at the forms.
--If you can find any "registrant" whose name has been submitted by a group fraudulently, take the information to the local d.a. and demand prosectution. If you find one, there are likely others. Keep looking.
--Call your local newspaper. Call the d.a. Make noise about this.
This is also a good time to bring up another way in which we can insure a fair election.
Most states allow each party to assign poll watchers who are legally allowed to oversee all voting - and protest when necessary. You can take a camera and other tools as necessary to document any irregularities. You are empowered to make the officials do their job properly.
In Alabama, where I live, the county Republican Party office gets to assign watchers to all polling places. A short (2 hour) training course is required.
I volunteer for this as a civic duty. Please call your local office and volunteer for this important job. It is critical that we have an adequate number of watchers - especially in swing states and where fraud is likely to occur.
What is the RNC doing about this? What are the different state Republican parties doing about it? Are they on top of this? This is a serious concern and they need to be sending people out to make sure they do not get away with this fraud. There have been numerous stories thus far, all involving Demonrats. The RNC needs to send people out to stop this.
Why are you surprised by this? The Racine/Kenosha area is an exburb of Chicago and we know now "HONEST" their political machine is.
Actually this should be expected since the dems are paying workers to find people to register. Many of these paid workers couldn't care less about Kerry and are spending the day at McDonald's copying names out of phone books. They will then get paid by Soros or some such individual or group for the more difficult job of hunting-down registrants. All of which means disaster for the dems at the polls.

Any further articles would be appreciated
Can normal citizens like me do that? Have you ever done that? Would I get photocopies or originals (which I'd read there, I imagine)? Would you recommend wearing a suit, rather than just "normal" clothes? Would I need to be armed with FOIA information? How would I find the local election office?
I'm up to doing that, but don't want to walk in there and be unsuccessful because I don't know what I'm doing....
