Don't let the recall elections be stolen! (Round 1)
Location
This August the Wave, in partnership with the Election Defense Alliance, is running an independent, non-partisan campaign to identify and expose serious election violations.
To do this we are recruiting volunteers to conduct "citizen exit polls" on August 9th and August 16th outside of polling locations throughout the recall districts. These polls are then compared to the officially announced ward totals, with major discrepancies providing the evidence needed to demand a hand recount (which is the only way to know whether or not an election involving computerized vote tallying was not stolen!) . This technique has proven extremely effective in other states, but needs maximum participation to work effectively!
