2/9 Update: Stopping SF Election Fraud on 3/5/02

We need everyone to help stop the election fraud in San Francisco on March 5, 2002. The election fraud has already started with the "shortage" of absentee ballots, causing voters to mark their ballots on photocopies and allow their votes to be transferred to regular absentee ballots when those ballots finally arrive, hopefully this week. We need you to watch the transfer of those votes, to watch the ballot counting at City Hall on Election Night and to be pollworkers.

The story on this first round of election fraud for the March 5, 2002 election is in the San Francisco Chronicle, 2/8/02, "Not Again--New SF Voting Oddity Pops Up" by Rachel Gordon at:

The election fraud can and must be stopped. It will take a massive showing of hundreds of people at City Hall on election night, March 5, 2002 at 8 p.m. to watch the ballots being processed and counted, as is our legal right to do. Election fraud is fascism and an election fraud team is a strike-breaking team.

Another way you can prevent election fraud is to be a poll worker. Since this country has elections on Tuesday rather than on Sunday (and that Sunday should be a holiday for those who work on Sunday) when most volunteers would be available and when more of the workingclass could vote, there is always a need for pollworkers. You receive $82 to $130, depending on your position. Election Day is a long day for pollworkers but it is for a good cause: ensuring free and fair elections. To volunteer, call the registrar at 554-4395. For more information, see the Election Department website at:

The election fraud team brought to San Francisco by the organized crime, anti-workingclass election frauding "mayor" Willie Brown, at the behest of the ruling class, for the 49er Stadium Swindle election of June 3, 1997 and described at http://www.brasscheck.com/stadium continues to terrorize the people of San Francisco.

Those of us who have been working very hard against the election fraud continue to be followed by these terrifying hoodlums. They will come from behind when we are walking on the sidewalk, usually alone, and as they go ahead of us, they will say how much they love having Willie Brown as mayor. Then they will scurry away to their rats' nests. They have the very hard faces of people who have "sold their soul to the company store" as stated in the famous coal miners' song, "Sixteen Tons." They are clearly the kind of people you do not want to meet in any setting, day or night. This crisis exists because there has been no labor movement in this country for over 50 years and there will be no labor movement so long as these thugs are allowed to commit election fraud for an election fraud team is a strike-breaking team.

A pollworker, Delores Evans, and 5 children, 1 child being Evans' and the other 4 were her grandchildren, were murdered by this election fraud team in a fire in their Housing Authority home on December 13, 1997, 10 days after our election fraud lawsuit was filed to overturn the fraudulent results of the 49er Stadium Swindle election of June 3, 1997, just as Evans was about to testify as to the election fraud she witnessed. The fire inspector told the Chronicle-Examiner they could have escaped but someone stopped them. This story is described and documented in the dedication at the very beginning of the outstanding election fraud website by the outstanding webweaver and web journalist, Ken McCarthy, at http://www.brasscheck.com/stadium.

To put an end to the horror experienced by the Evans family so that it never happens to anyone else, and so that we have free and fair elections, please stop the election fraud on March 5, 2002.

The March 5, 2002 San Francisco ballot not only has the federal, state and county candidates for office, it has lots of ballot propositions for the state and county. There are two San Francisco ballot propositions that are very important. Prop A is for instant runoff voting, which will improve our choices on the ballot and save us taxpayers the cost of runoff elections, which always have very low voter turnout. Prop D is the proposition that takes direct action against the pro-development, anti-workingclass housing agenda of Willie Brown's lackeys on the Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals. It will give the Board of Supervisors the ability to appoint 3 of the 7 members of the Planning Commission and 2 of the 5 members of the Board of Appeals. It will also allow the Supervisors to veto the mayor's appointments with a simple majority veto, instead of the current two-thirds vote. For more analysis on the San Francisco and California propositions, see the Bay Guardian at http://www.sfbg.com/endorsements/index.html.
Another analysis of the state propositions can be found at the California Voter Foundation website at http://calvoter.org/2002/index.html

February 18 is the last day to register to vote for the March 5 election. If you have not registered, go to City Hall now. The Election Department is in the basement on the Van Ness side and is open on weekends from now to election day generally between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Election Day, where you can always vote, regardless of your polling place, the election office is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Absentee voting is open now and can be done by mail or in person at the election department. I strongly urge everyone to sign up for permanent absentee voting. The law has changed so that you do not need a reason for permanent absentee voting; every voter is eligible to be a permanent absentee voter. That way, in every election, you get your absentee ballot in the mail without having to request it in every election, and you can vote in the comfort and privacy of your home.

By stopping the election fraud, the lives and votes we save will be our own. It does not matter who or what is on the ballot; election fraud is fascism and we literally cannot survive fascism. It should not have surprised anyone that Willie Brown and his election fraud gang committed election fraud against our public power initiatives in November 2001. Despite the many pleas of those of us working against the election fraud, there had been no massive outpouring of pollwatchers at City Hall. There had also never been any picket of the Election Department for their election fraud since and including June 3, 1997 and the courtroom was not packed for our hearings on the election fraud lawsuit to overturn the fraudulent 49er Stadium Swindle election of June 3, 1997. Your active participation is required to stop the election fraud.

All politics are local. If you want to stop fascism, improve the lives of the workingclass, have public power and a better environment right here at home where you live, work, vote and pay taxes, then you must actively participate in stopping the election fraud. That means signing up to be a poll worker if possible and it means being at City Hall, Election Department, Room 48 in the basement on the Van Ness side (you can enter from the Goodlett Street side also), starting at 8 p.m. on election night to watch our ballots being counted and watch the transfer of votes from paper absentee ballots to official absentee ballots. It is mass action that will stop the election fraud in San Francisco.
