Open Letter To The Largest Law Firm In The World

AN OPEN LETTER to the largest law firm in the world -- on the eve of the biggest election of our lifetimes

The world's largest 'law firm' just might have to contend with the largest ever effort to rig, fix, hack, manipulate, suppress and ultimately steal an election. You've got quite a challenge on your hands but you should know that there are millions and millions of people pulling for you; and also counting on you to be as vigilant, savvy and aggressive as you possibly can be within the confines of the law.

According to The New York Times, nine states have broken the law by using Social Security data to purge registration lists. CBS found voter purges under way in 19 states. In Ohio, Republicans are fighting a bitter legal battle to challenge 660,000 new voters. There's a new voter ID law in Indiana. Pima County, Arizona now requires birth certificates at the polls.

--- a recent Zogby poll found that 32 percent of Americans were "not at all" confident that Bush won the 2004 election "fair and square." Those Americans include Conyers and Brunner and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who wrote this article arguing that Republicans won the election by stealing or suppressing 350,000 votes in Ohio.

More recently, the left-wing corners of the Internet have been buzzing with two recent depositions in a long-running lawsuit against J. Kenneth Blackwell, the former Ohio Secretary State. The first is from a researcher named Richard Hayes Phillips who says he examined 126,000 ballots and 127 poll books and found "much evidence of ballot alternation, ballot substitution, ballot box stuffing, ballot destruction, vote switching, tabulator rigging and old-fashioned vote voter suppression.
