128. You do support prosecution of violations of election law??
The letter from Petros reaffirms that the poll books are public record immediately upon completion of the election canvass.

"Following the completion of the canvass of election returns under R.C. 3505.32, poll books used in an election are public records of a board of elections and are subject to public inspection in accordance with any reasonable regulations the custodian board of elections has established under R.C. 3501.13, except as may be provided by a proper order of a court. (Ohio A.G. letter to Blackwell)

Nonetheless, many BOEs denied volunteers access to these books during recount, a violation of law. Even though they were to make these available by law, they REFUSED. Some boards were obstructionist, uncooperative, rude, intimidating and unlawful. Hmmm... betcha they'd be real cooperative with citizens wanting recounts.

"you can add "allegations" to that. No proof." Yes, allegations and sworn affidavits, including EYEWITNESS accounts of tampering/alteration/remarking of ballots.

Allegations... investigations... prosecutions. "proof" is what is determined in court.
