Reply #26: Speaking of Cuyahoga county,

[Ifonly]

has anybody ever seen this (I just stumbled across this on www.inthesetimes.com. It is 2 responses to an article by our hero Greg Palast written back in Nov 14th by someone who calls himself/herself SagGem2004):

You may have seen the associated press story about the precinct in Cuyahoga county that had less than 1,000 voters, and gave Bush almost 4,000 extra votes.

But that turns out to be only the tip of a very ugly iceberg. The evidence discovered by some remarkably careful sleuthing would convince any reasonable court to invalidate the entire Ohio election.

In last Tuesday’s election, 29 precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, reported votes cast IN EXCESS of the number of registered voters - at least 93,136 extra votes total. And the numbers are right there on the official Cuyahoga County Board of Elections website -

http://www.inthesetimes.com/site?URL=http://boe.cuyahogacounty.us//BOE/results/currentresults1.htm#top
is the official website of the Cuyahoga county election board, providing irrefutable evidence that the vote was off by at least 93,000.

Kerry lost Ohio by approximately 130,000, so this is not an insignificant figure that can be ignored, particularly when there are numerous other indications of voter fraud in Ohio and elsewhere.

Thanks for the brain-food ya’ll - - keep up the great dialogue…

Kerry’s statement the day after the election that there were not enough provisional ballots to have any chance to alter the result of the election may have been true, but it was a bit misleading since provisional ballots are only part of the story. There were also absentee ballots, there were reports of substantial pockets of election problems, and allegations of over-voting and machine malfunction. In addition, over 70 percent of Ohio’s votes were done with punch cards. We know that when you do a challenge to those, they tend to turn over. So there is room to challenge Ohio and other states. This is not to say that a recount is likely to change the result of the election, but it is not an impossibility.

COUNT EVERY VOTE AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY!!!

Now how do you suppose all those extra votes got cast?
