machines, seeks emergency hearing, prohibition against tampering

On behalf of a group of Ohio voters, attorney Clifford Arnebeck filed an emergency motion for an expedited emergency hearing and to prevent voting companies an Ohio officials from further tampering with voting machines in the state during the recount, RAW STORY has learned.

Arnebeck, of the Massachusetts-based Alliance for Democracy, has joined with Rev. Jesse Jackson and asked the state Supreme Court to reconsider the election results in their initial suit, accusing Bush's campaign of "high-tech vote stealing."

Included in Arnebeck's motion is a two-page testimony taken in the presence of a court reporter where alleged witness Catherine Buchanan says she was told Diebold reprogrammed voting machines while present at her local Board of Elections. Also included is a letter from an Ohio county election official who stated that test tabulator decks were "discarded" in violation of Ohio law. RAW STORY has acquired these documents and will be posting them shortly linked from our main page.
