NEW U.S. HOUSE CMTE REPORT QUESTIONS REELECTION OF BUSH
HOUSE JUDICIARY OHIO STATUS REPORT ISSUED

Judiciary Cmte. Report
Questions Bush Reelection




BreakForNews.com, 5th Jan, 2005 17:00ET
by Fintan Dunne, Editor EXCLUSIVE
http://www.BreakForNews.com/articles/ElectionOutcomeUncertain.htm

A status report of the House Judiciary Committee investigating the
U.S. presidential election, has questioned the certainty of the
reelection of president George Bush, based on irregularities in the
Ohio contest.


Citing recent election controversy in Washington State and in the
"apparent defeat of the opposition leader Victor Yushchenko" in the
Ukraine, the report says these contexts show that elections "...are
subject to manipulation and mistake."


The report goes on: "It is therefore, critical that elections be
investigated and audited to assure the accuracy of the results"



The report then repeats and reinforces comments by Daniel Hoffheimer,
an attorney for the Kerry/Edwards campaign --first reported in writing
by BreakFornews.com on 24th December, 2004. Hoffheimer said that
Kerry/Edwards:

"....want to be sure that all circumstances involved in the Ohio
election, including the recount, should be put before the Court and
disclosed to the American people. Only then, can the integrity of the
entire electoral process and the election of Bush-Cheney warrant the
public trust."


The Judiciary Cmte. report adds to those earlier comments by the
Kerry/Edwards campaign, saying that: "regardless of the outcome of
the election..., that outcome cannot be certain as long as legitimate
questions remain."


NUANCED WORDS

By virtue of this report and other investigations, reasonable proof of
major Ohio irregularities exists. Based on this, the limited public
thrust of the report and comments by the Kerry/Edwards campaign is
that the Ohio electoral process is at question, not the presidential
election outcome.


But on examination, the language used by the House Judiciary Cmte.
Report shows that its authors stand ready to potentially fully
question the reelection of George Bush --against the backdrop recent
fateful events in the Ukraine.

We should note that this is not a final report from the Judiciary
Cmte. It is an interim status report only. The triggers for an
extension of the scope of their position would be the establishing of
further reasonable proofs.

Either by establishing that sufficient votes are in question to
potentially alter the outcome of the Ohio election. Or by establishing
that malicious intent beyond mere incompetence, lay behind the
existing irregularities they have detailed.

That would indicate that further investigation is required to
determine if the malign intent covertly subverted the will of the
voters in Ohio or in the election contests in other states.

Peering through the fog of nuanced wording, neither Kerry/Edwards nor
the latest report are saying that Kerry may have won the presidential
election. But they are saying something else quite interesting.

Right now, they are saying that nobody knows who won.

4. Ohhhh
I think I was one of a tiny minority that actually thought Kerry's letter was quite strong, blasting the GOP and calling for election reform, the day before the Political Sh*tstorm of the Year (here's hoping, anyway)..... After reading that, I see this once more and it doesn't help matters, let's say.

I think I'm in favor of "vanity" or reproductive cloning now.

:evilgrin:

5. Kerry makes me think of reproduction too...
Tee-hee...I also loved his letter. I was so happy to see his glorious name in my mailbox once again. The letter was great. He's definitely paying attention.

2. YESSSSSS!!!! This sounds more like it!
The ENTIRE 2004 election needs to be investigated, and each and every state needs to do a hand count, and where black boxes make that impossible, I want a forensic investigation of both the machines and the central tabulators.

That's the only way I'm EVER going to be satisfied with the 2004 election results.

8. Here's another great post : ) - from Bloggerman
Challengers are go (Keith Olbermann)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6667405/#050105a
Nothing is in writing and daybreak is a long way away, but it appeared all but certain in early evening Wednesday that House Democrats had secured the support of up to half a dozen Senators to formally challenge the Electoral College slate from Ohio, when the votes are opened before a joint session of Congress tomorrow.
