i'm speechless. amazing work, Liberty.
what do we do now?
In no particular order:
1) Create readable, accessible report with quick synopsis,explanation, counter to debunk attempts (especially focuses on Romney being only benefactor). If The Man's report was the fuse, this report needs to be the dynamite.
2) Website. Website must contain:
a) easy links to raw data, with further links to source for this data. (that is, stored locally w/ links to original)
b) charts, charts, and more charts by state/county/precinct
c) more discussion and debunk rebuttals; the stuff that didn't fit in the report, basically.
d) 'unflipped results' -- that is... what are the REAL results?
e) etc, etc. it's a website, so we're not as limited as a report
f) website must look professional and not homemade.
3) go pro. we need people looking at this, pronto. I'm not sure if this should happen before or after the 'report'. will will likely need funding from chipin, rev-pac... people here can't stop though. this is not something to hand off and forget about; it's too important for that.
4) contact likely allies, like black box voting.
5) go public. there is a chance this will snowball. even if the media is working against paul, the fact that this hits gingrich is huge. a journalist breaking this story (once fully vetted by pros, etc) could conceivably win a Pulitzer. that is a huge incentive to go rogue.
6) go viral. we need charts like Richland with just enough verbiage to describe the problem. Catchy viral headline. Link to website. 'Find out more'. Graphic design of message needs to be neat and tidy, yet transfer enough information to get people to go to website to learn more. Youtube vid explaining the vote fraud step by step.
again, these aren't totally in order, and some overlap. but it's a rough draft of what needs to be done, in my opinion.
With the exception of generally outing this story to the general public, I think the three most important things are:
1) Romney is sole benefactor
2) Gingrich has been attacked as well
3) The actual, unflipped results
