"As Washingtonians we are deeply disturbed by extensive and credible indications of voter disenfranchisement committed in the Ohio presidential election. We strongly support efforts to review the conduct of the election and urge Ohio to investigate allegations of organized voter disenfranchisement . We call on the Government of Ohio to respect the will of the Ohio people, and we urge all Ohioans to resolve the situation through peaceful means. The Government bears a special responsibility to allow free media to report accurately on the situation without intimidation or coercion. The Democrats of Washington State stand with the Ohioan people in this difficult time. Mr. Berendt, we have supported this party for many years, we have come out in droves for Christine Gregoire, we are ready to stand behind her to the very end, but we are more than Washington Democrats, we are American Democrats. We reject the unfair treatment of our fellow Democrats in Ohio in the current election, and are increasingly concerned as reports of voter disenfranchisement and tabulation irregularities are becoming so frequent as to suggest systemic problems. We support the work of hundreds of Americans throughout the country who have mobilized to conduct statistical analyses of the election results, collect testimony about voting procedures and problems, and then publicize their findings in local newspapers and on the Internet. We applaud the efforts of Representatives Conyers and Nadler, who petitioned the GAO for "the widest, most impartial investigation that can be had." We commend Bev Harris and her team at BlackBoxVoting.org for their tireless work in investigating the election. In the absence of a robust media examination of voting irregularities in Ohio, we request that you maintain contact with the Ohio State Democrats and report to us regularily to keep us informed of Ohio's ongoing recount efforts. Let us stand as a unit and have all the Democrats throughout this great land support full disclosure about what happened on November 2nd. As our President defends the rights of Ukranians to have fair elections, we demand fair elections here at home.
Sincerely,
