Yikes.
The interesting thing about this debacle is that if the document is a fake it still doesn’t deny that meetings occurred among us. It still shows a critical point 527s, c3, and c4 should not be coordinating efforts together. It’s illegal.

So in a way, whatever Mark produces to the Denver Post, we are still screwed.
Most of you may be asking what is Marks background on all this besides being an attorney. Well, he is part of the Colorado Democracy Alliance infrastructure.
In 2004, he helped start Fair Vote Colorado a project of the defunct think tank, Bighorn Center run by my good geologist whiz, Rutt Bridges.
Marks intentions for Fair Vote were the following (excerpt from a Rocky Mountain News article published on Oct 26, 2004)
If Marks goal had nothing to do with either party, why is that in the attendance of his meeting minutes there aren’t center-right folks. Makes you wonder, huh.
"We're working right through Election Day to make sure everyone legally registered to vote has their ballot counted," Mark Grueskin, 50, said.
He is an old hand at such matters, having been among the squad of attorneys who oversaw the recount of the Bob Beauprez-Mike Feeley 7th Congressional District race two years ago.
With the Florida 2000 fiasco still looming large and the huge influx of newly registered voters in Colorado this time out, he says the participation of attorneys in the next three weeks is crucial.
"There are new federal voting laws, new state laws, confusion at the secretary of state level, and we are still awaiting clarity from the court on the issue of identification and provisional ballots, so our hope is to supply our expertise to elections officials," he said.
His sole goal has nothing to with either party, Mark Grueskin said. It is simply uniform treatment of voters. If it is an issue of ID, a provisional or absentee ballot question or someone's name not appearing on the rolls, he and other lawyers want to help get votes cast and counted.
"If we can learn about issues early on Election Day, we want to get them corrected quickly," he said.
He figures the job will be complicated by the uncertainty still surrounding voting rules in the state, and the manner in which they are interpreted by workers at the precinct level.
"We're looking for clarity and uniformity," he said. "If everyone who is entitled to vote does so, we will have done our job."
His firm is one of six that have signed up with nonpartisan fairvotecolorado.org. And "another firm called today with a list of lawyers who are willing to monitor the election in Colorado," spokesman Mark Eddy said.
