I was a state legislator in Arizona for many years and I specialized in election law. I'm worried that all of the recount efforts will be wasted on activities that SUGGEST fraud, but don't really PROVE anything.

Why doesn't somebody select a very suspicious small precinct(s) in Ohio and just call (or go to see) everybody that voted, tell them you're testing the accuracy of the voting system, and ask them who they voted for? It's easy to do... I suspect that every registered voter was called (or visited) SEVERAL TIMES before the election.

You'll have the ultimate exit poll, and if the results varied from the official results, you'll have a list of people who would probably be willing to sign affidavits. These would be convincing proof that you could take to a courtroom. This method is really the only one that will work where there is no paper trail.

We're trying this in a couple of precincts in Tucson, AZ .... but we don't have any touch screens here and AZ wasn't a "battleground" state so I doubt if we'll find anything.

If you can't follow up on this, please suggest it to someone who can... thanks, and good luck with your efforts.
