Smoking Gun of Election Fraud is in Ken Blackwell’s Hand

Votergate 2004 is not going away. There are stories every day about the
Ukraine and the obvious fraud in their elections but deafening silence
about our own elections continues. Last week there were CONGRESSIONAL
HEARINGS about voter fraud. Not one GOP Representative bothered to
attend, desperately afraid of lending any legitimacy to the
allegations. What was presented even made Congressman John Conyers
object to the elections results. Where was the coverage??? Not one word
from the NY Times??? I can understand FOX not covering an event
potentially damaging to their boss, Bush, but the NY Times? This is the
same paper that apologized to it's readers for it's horrific coverage
in the lead up to the Iraq War, and now they give their readers another
reason to not trust them as being objective. Even if you think the
allegations are baseless, COVER the story!

WASHINGTON - The Phoenix resident, a registered Democrat, was
suspicious when a caller told him just three days before the Nov. 2
election that he was supposed to cast his ballot across town.
No, he replied, he knew his local polling place, and the caller was
wrong.

Shattering the Myth: An Initial Snapshot of Voter Disenfranchisement in
the 2004 Elections
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The unprecedented voting rights mobilization undertaken by the Election
Protection Coalition helped millions of Americans exercise their
fundamental right to vote in 2004. In addition to its direct service to
voters, the Election Protection Coalition successfully collected data
on the myriad of problems inherent in our electoral system and has
begun to create, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the
barriers that voters face as they go to the polls. Unfortunately, we
have documented systemic problems that resulted in the widespread
disenfranchisement of American voters. These unacceptable barriers to
voting betray our nation’s democratic principles and undermine the
fairness of our elections. The rush of relief led by pundits and
politicians that the presidential campaign did not extend into a long
post-election legal contest must not be permitted to disguise the
urgent need for systematic reforms at the national, state, and local
levels.

seating of Buckeye state electors on January 6 when Congress opens the
presidential electoral college vote certifying the election of George
W. Bush.
Conyers, a Michigan Democrat and senior committee member who convened
the Ohio voting aberrations hearing held last Wednesday in the House
Rayburn office building, replied, "We are now."

Conyers Alarmed at Efforts to Obstruct Ohio Recount Effort, Calls
Witness to Monday Hearing to Detail Such Efforts
IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 12, 2004
CONTACT: Dena Graziano (202)226-6888
Yesterday, it came to the attention of the House Judiciary Committee
Democratic Staff that efforts to audit poll records in Greene County,
Ohio are being obstructed by County Election officials and/or Ohio
Secretary of State Ken Blackwell. According to Joan Quinn and Eve
Robertson, two election observers researching voting records, Greene
County officials initially gave Quinn and Robertson access to poll
records, and then abruptly withdrew such access. Greene County Director
of Elections Carole Garman claimed that she had withdrawn access to the
voting records at the direction of Secretary Blackwell. Regardless of
who ordered the denial of this access, such an action appears to
violate Ohio law. Later, at the same office, election observers found
the office unlocked, and what appeared to be locked ballot boxes,
unattended. Prior to the withdrawal of access to the books, observers
had found discrepancies in election records, and possible evidence of
minority vote suppression.

There are people out there who think we are crazy, who think we are
bitter-enders, sore losermen, conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hatters.
We just cannot accept the outcome of a truly legitimate American
election, and we are flailing about like pathetic boated fish trying to
change what cannot be changed.
