47 "Faithful" Presidential Electors 
Who Can Make History
There are 47 Democratic Presidential electors in 15 red states (states where Bush received the popular vote) who can elect Kerry president "by the rule of law", without a recount in any state, and in the bargain democratize the Electoral College.
"This is the most amazing proposition that has ever been brought forward by a non-lawyer and it will, and if it is accurate it could change the whole outcome of the voting process in the United States, and we will take that under consideration ... we, we eagerly embrace your suggestion."

Gordon vs. Cheney,
CASE NUMBER_1:08-cv-01294
JUDGE: Henry H. Kennedy
DECK TYPE: TRO / Preliminary Injunction
DATE STAMP: 07/28/2008
  The civil action seeks relief against the defendant, Vice President Cheney, who will preside over the tabulation of "unbound Southen electoral states" on January 6, 2009,  who by practice, unsupported by state or federal statute, traditionally award Presidential Electors on a "winner-take-all basis". 
  The civil action alternatively seeks the issuance of a court order providing proportional apportionment of presidential electors pursuant to 2U.S.C.§6.

Vanishing Votes! -by Gregory Palast
[ 1 ]    In October 29, 2002, George W. Bush signed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). Hidden behind its apple-pie and-motherhood name lies a nasty civil rights time bomb.

[ 2 ]    One million black votes didn't count in the 2000 presidential election
It's not too hard to get your vote lost -- if some politicians want it to be lost!
Will your vote count in the next election?
Maybe not! How will we even know?

VOTING MACHINE MAKER A MAJOR REPUBLICAN BOOSTER
Voting machine controversy
The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in various states told Ohio Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." Walden O'Dell is chief executive of Diebold Inc., a company contracted to install machines in Georgia, North Carolina and other states. (Cleveland Plain Dealer, 8/28)
