Senator Barack Obama

Ten Grand for Obama

So the Republicans are suddenly really into the idea of tinfoil hats even though in 2004 and 2000 they mostly laughed at our claims of actual voter fraud -- as opposed to the random fake voter registrations for fictional people who haven't and simply can't vote in the election.

It's become clear, however, that even though Senator Obama is doing very well on the fundraising front, he'll need every penny in order to potentially contest any real shenanigans on election day -- real vote tampering, not jokey voter registration forms that have nothing to do with fraudulent votes.

Republicans are presently attempting to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of registered voters in crucial battleground states. Shocker -- most of those voters are newly registered Democrats. In addition, we still have way too many electronic voting machines without paper trails, and a provisional ballot system that's largely a joke.

That's one of many reasons why I've upped our GDAB fundraising goal to $10,000. The deadline: 12AM EDT, November 4, 2008.

Eighteen days. Reasonable donations of $5 and $10. This thing isn't over until we help Senators Obama and Biden achieve tamper-proof margins on election night. Let's go!

UPDATE: Bumped.
