How Ohio was rigged--A must read!
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 01:16 PM by pointsoflight
Following four community public hearings in Ohio about election irregularities and voter suppression – two in the capitol, Columbus, and one each in Cincinnati and Cleveland – a clear pattern and practice of voter disenfranchisement is emerging.

1. Just One More Crime...
And it's not "petty larceny": 10,000 organized acts of deliberate small theft = GRAND LARCENY !!

2. I wish every single American would read that article.
Gee, any MSM reporters bother to attend the hearings? Nah.

3. Fitrakis has been on this issue since day one - very intelligent and

Thanks for posting!

4. So many ways to steal votes
I heard a similiar figure somewhere else. PBS?

Anyway, increase voters by 25% in the city and reduce the machines from five to three since 2000. Give the machines to the suburban areas that still have less voters. So clever, so un-Democratic.
