Reply #14: With all due respect, Ohio doesn't need BBV.

[dzika]

The investigation in Ohio continues regardless of BBV. I donated to BBV after the election and I wish I hadn't.

It's hard enough already to get people to see the legitimacy of the investigation. Cobb, Arnebeck, Truit and others have done a good job keeping the investigations and suits on the level.

We don't need any bad press and it seem to follow in the wake of BBV. I would be happy to donate to BBV again if they would STAY OUT of Ohio. I'm very serious. For the sake of this fragile movement, please send BBV somewhere else.

Again with all due respect, the timing and motives of BBV is questionable. Have they completed any of current investigations they have reported in other states? They seem to be going to places where they can get the most attention and donations. I am concerned that previous problems surrounding BBV will just follow them into Ohio (Bad press in FL, questionable management decisions, suspicious finances, eternal rumors and arguments... and on).

Ohio needs investigators with the best of intentions. Ohio needs investigators that can work in a team environment. Ohio needs investigators who do not hold back information from the rest of the team.

If you only knew how close we came to not having a Senator to sign the challenge then you would understand how fragile this situation is. Another event like the one in Florida where BBV interrupted a meeting of election officials would have probably been enough to de-legitimize the efforts in Ohio. There is a great chance that Boxer couldn't have signed if there had been an event in Ohio like this.

My apology to the VTGold and the Mods if this message is not appropriate. Thanks!
