Reply #14: This tactic is similar to what happened in Ohio

with Tom Noe and his wife's help. They use whatever dirty tricks they can muster. Noe decided to change his not guilty plea to GUILTY, concenring his campaign contributions to the Bush/Cheney reSelection bid.

The top of the state Repubs knew about his sheningans well before the election, but suppressed the information.

According to Bill Frogameni in Salon.com on October 6, 2005, the Blade's chief political columnist, Fritz Wenzel, was told of Noe's campaign finance violations as early as January 2004, but never gave the information to the Blade.

He learned of the violations from a Republican by the name of Joe Kidd, who was then the director of the Board of Elections, who was actually fueding with Bernadette Noe at the time, and retaliated against her by telling Wenzel that Noe was illegally funneling money to the Bush-Cheney campaign and running a questionable coin investment with the state.

According to Salon, sources confirmed that Kidd told them he had this conversation with Wenzel at the time.

However, as it turns out, both Wenzel and his son had personal relationships with the Noes, who even attended the son's wedding.

The dirty tricks in Lucas Country started long before election day. For instance, the Democratic headquarters was broken into and key voter data was stolen.

I hope there is a real investigation over this, otherwise I forsee a lot of purging of voter rolls.
