Blackwell Lockdown and More Suspicious Activity in Greene County Ohio

I thought that this story deserved a new thread.

A story was posted this morning that said Blackwell had ordered the lockdown of Board of Election (BOE) records in Greene County Ohio.


Here is the original posting from "Twist_U_Up"

Subject: Blackwell Locks Down Ohio Voting Records Breaking news, more to come. This afternoon, two election volunteers working with the Ohio recount were denied further access to public voting records in Greene County Ohio. At the Greene County Board of Elections in Xenia, two California women working with the recount coalition (CASE and the Green party) were copying public records and requesting access to other voting records, per Ohio statute. The Board was told by Secretary of State Blackwell's office to deny any further access to voting records, a clear violation of statute. Apparently, the quote was: "These records are no longer public. There is a lockdown on all Ohio voting records." Ohio is no longer the Ukraine. Ohio is now Soviet bloc and Blackwell has made his office the Politburo

MORE NEWS FROM GREENE COUNTY OHIO:

I just spoke to Katrina Sumner who's cell phone is listed at the end of this story:
http://fairnessbybeckerman.blogspot.com/2004/12/ohio-election-investigation-thwarted.html

Katrina is at the Greene County BOE in Ohio right now. She said they got their early this morning to begin canvasing.

They noticed a light on in the building that was not on last night. They checked the door and the BOE in Greene County and it was unlocked. She suspects that it had been unlocked all night!

This would mean that the Voting Records that Mr. Blackwell "locked down" were available for anyone who decided to walk into the building during the night, according to Katrina.

She has sent the earlier story to her media contacts but this new information has not been reported because they are waiting on law enforcement and lawyers.

Stay tuned... it sounds like we will be hearing more soon.
