5. This was read ON AIR two Fridays ago in response to Blackwell's
Push for OpticalScan Machines and a comment by a reporter that "some" counties in Ohio were recounted -- what was read on-air was about the recounts:

"Today there were reports this morning (Jan 27th) and in the evening about Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell’s demand for counties to pick one of two optical scan manufacturers. Regarding the morning report, I urge your reporter/s to look closely at the Cobb/LaMarche Website http://www.votecobb.org/recount/ , and especially, look at the Recount Reports here http://www.votecobb.org/recount/ohio_reports/ . ALL 88 counties were recounted (not “Some” as reported in the morning) – but this recount was not handled the way that Ohio Law dictates. There are too many incidents that took place to report here, but I urge you to look at this website.

"We cannot say we have free, honest and fair elections if there are questions still lingering, and if information is still appearing. And we have absolutely NO business going to other parts of the world to "spread democracy" if we can't even get it right here.""

******

Note -- the information I wrote about Blackwell was not read on-air -- BUT the letter IS posted on their website -- go read it and comment! http://www.wmub.org/feedback/feedbackblog.html

It's a new thing for WMUB (88.5 Oxford, Ohio) to have feedback to their feedback -- would be interesting if people actually started responding and saying that this stuff needs attention of reporters, public, etc..... (another thing -- I wasn't actually writing this for publication, but to INFORM them of what is happening -- so I was surprised when they posted it links and all).
