focus was the ballot not the patches unfortunately - almost a way to divert attention from electronic theft

He should be in prison. Why would CNN give this criminal exposure? CNN is shit.

6. I think it's suspicious that they keep doing softball interviews with Husted

and worse this time -- no mention of the experimental patches.

I found out there is a paper trail so maybe in the end Husted will be afraid to pull off a Willard win, hope so!

BREAKING: OH SOS Husted Busted - Installed Uncertified & Untested Software on OH Voting Machines


At 9am Election Day, a federal judge will decide whether untested and uncertified secret software will remain on Ohio’s vote tabulation and reporting systems in 39 counties. Bob Fitrakis, in his capacity as the Chair of the Ohio Green Party, filed suit at approximately 12:30pm on Monday, November 5 against Ohio Secretary of State John Husted and Elections Systems and Solutions for their clandestine installation of uncertified and untested software.

The focus was the ballot that if not filled out perfectly will be rejected

We believe not a huge number of absentee ballots
not near 200,000

we have provisional ballots .. could be 200000

Obama's margin of victory was 262,000 votes in 2008

"Let's hope for good things tomorrow"

She shows the ballot and discusses the tradition in Ohio law
Last week 6th circuit said fill out 1 and 3 sections

Atlantic Magazine called him Face of Voter Suppression

He defends himself blah blah

"People should know there are Demcrats and Republicans, lots of transparency"

No discussion of the "experimental patches"

He is SO OBVIOUSLY preparing us for results that differ from the polls to the point of absurdity. It's not even the tiniest bit subtle any more. What a bad, bad man.

They seem strangely obsessed and Piers Morgan doing a special on it.

Yikes!

They just said Ohio could be decided by 10-20000 votes ... but we know most polls don't say that yikes!
