Jeanne Norris Weinberg: 'How the last presidential election awoke me from an
unsound sleep'

Or ... One average citizen's account of her unsettling experience
video-taping on Election Day 2004, attending the public hearings afterward
and then serving as an Official Witness for the Ohio Vote Recount.

Jeanne Norris Weinberg, The Columbus Free Press

In 2004, like most of my friends, I was asleep at the wheel, even with
questions still lingering following the 2000 election. As an active mother,
advocate and writer, I felt entitled to this lethargy. It's all too much was
my hidden mantra. If I hadn't been asked to take my outdated family video
camera to the polls on Election Day, I might still be able relieve myself of
the burden of being awake and aware. But from that day forward, things
changed. In late 2004, I added Voter's Rights activism to my list of duties.
Nobody in my life saw it coming, least of all me.
