<nettime> Election Protests Start Saturday


-----------------------------
Friends,      (Forward this message)

Gore WON the popular vote but is LOSING the White House. But...

The electors who make up the electoral college ARE NOT REQUIRED to
vote for the candidate who won in their state. The whole point was to
give the electoral college the final say. In this case, the stupid
custom of "winner take all" is blocking democracy. It's within the
power of the electors to make Gore the prez, and it would be right to
do so BECAUSE HE WON THE ELECTION.

Bush should step aside and let the EC choose Gore. Of course he won't
do that willingly, but WE CAN MAKE HIM.

There's a site coordinating protests for this Saturday in cities all
over the country.  Please visit it, and show up this Saturday.
