Members of the Old Media were treated like kings and queens - with preferred seating and access to the floor of the Hilton Coliseum. Jim comments that all of this power was present, yet the reporters serving this power refuse to ask the simple-important questions about the need to access, secure and manually count - and save/store - the paper ballots in the open with cameras and We The People watching.

Jim Condit, Jr. comments about the fact that there is no Giuliani or McCain presence at all on the floor of the Hilton Coliseum and very little, if any, support or presence from Mitt Romney supporters as we waited for the "unofficial" - ie. fake, machine count - results of the Iowa Straw Poll to be announced. Jim also shares a bit of a conversation he had with Carl Cameron with Fox News who commented that he didn't find any problem if the citizens can't see or count the ballots on election day. To quote Carl Cameron according to Jim (roughly): "He pretends he cannot see a problem with them not letting the citizens or the reporters not seeing the ballots on election day."

As we were waiting patiently - over 2 hours and 14 minutes - for the "unofficial" - ie. fake, machine count - vote totals for the 2007 Iowa Straw Poll, Congressman Steve King from Iowa's 4th District took the words right out of our mouths and to the cheers from many supporters of Ron Paul said: This is about freedom. This effort here is about freedom. It’s about taking back your freedom. It’s about taking this country back from people who have been in fact slowing rolling it towards socialism.

Jim Condit, Jr. asks the question which remains unanswered: Where are the ballots from the 2007 Iowa Straw Poll? Why weren't they counted in the open in the sunshine before We The People? The vote count from the 2007 Iowa Straw Poll remains "uncertified" and unofficial until all the paper ballots are counted

We made a point of telling everyone that our efforts were supporting ALL the candidates. Ensuring a fair and accurate vote universally supports and promotes the cause of truth, justice and freedom worldwide.

This is one of many similar comments we received throughout the day during the Iowa Straw Poll on August 11, 2007.

Vote In Sunshine volunteers were stationed at each of the exits of the three voting stations inside the Iowa Straw Poll complex with manual clickers to both observe and count the number of individuals exiting the polls throughout the day. Our final "clicker count" was 15,000.

Members of the Vote In Sunshine Coalition attempted to attend a test demonstration of Diebold's Accu-Vote Paper Ballot voting machine which has been decertified in Florida and California. We were denied entry and were asked to leave.
