Ohio Vote Fraud Battle Heats Up

Links to A New Affidavit From a Professional Willing to Testify
And Prima Facie Evidence of Fraud

Today Congressman John Conyers, Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary and Dean, Congressional Black Caucus, will hold a congressional forum in Columbus, Ohio concerning new evidence of election irregularities and fraud in Ohio.

...

According to Ray Beckman, a lawyer who is deeply involved in fighting election fraud, the Ohio recount team assigned to Greene County were in process of recording voting information from minority precincts, when they were stopped in mid-count by a surprise order from Secretary of State Blackwell’s office that made all voter records for the state of Ohio, private and no longer considered “public records.” According to Beckman, “the Ohio Revised Code Title XXXV, Elections, Sec. 3503.26, requires all election records to be made available for public inspection and copying.” Beckman said, “ORC Sec. 3599.161 makes it a crime for any employee of the Board of Elections to knowingly prevent or prohibit any person from inspecting the public records filed in the office of the Board of Elections.” Perhaps even more significantly, Beckman said, “ORC Sec. 3599.42 clearly states: ‘A violation of any provision of Title XXXV (35) of the Revised Code constitutes a prima facie case of election fraud within the purview of such Title.’”


When Kenneth Blackwell appeared for his interview with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann saying he would not interfere with the recount, (see Lisa Rein’s Radar) Olbermann said: “As it plays into the recount though sir, are you saying that your office does not anticipate taking any steps to try to prevent a recount in Ohio?”

Blackwell: “No. We haven't! We've told the two officials candidates that once we certify on December 6th, they have five days to certify. I mean, to ask for a recount. Once they ask for a recount, we will provide them with a recount. And that's what I've said from the very first indication that they were interested in a recount. Once it was established that they were statewide candidates with standing, our law says that they can ask for a recount. We will regard this as yet another audit of the voting process. The reason it takes us from November the second to December the sixth to certify is because we have a very tedious, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, across the state, every vote that was cast to make sure that every vote that was legally cast is counted.” (see Lisa Rein’s Radar)

1. Blackwell lied on national TV!

Busted and screwed!

See you on jail!

[sabra]

8. Seriously!

With the jokes he was making today, and transcripts showing he went against his words, I don't know how he thinks he is going to get out of this one...

[texpatriot2004]

2. Thanks so much for posting this, I knew that Blackwell said

he wouldn't interfere but I couln't remember where I heard or read it.

[genieroze]

3. BlackHeart is a lying cup O crap. eom

[Joe Chi Minh]

33. Self-delete

[Megahurtz]

4. YES!!!

:bounce:

[GetTheRightVote]

7. I hope they get him and get him good for his evilness

Justice demands service on him

[pbartch]

17. Ohio Democrats should SUE Blackwell. GANG UP ON HIM!!!

Gees you guys........you have an interesting case here. You got this guy committing ELECTION FRAUD and he lied on National TV!!!

[genieroze]

5. Don't drop the soap Beeatch. eom

[Joe Chi Minh]

34. They'd surely

love him to bits, wouldn't they? But no country-club prison, eh? How about the male equivalent of the prison Susan McDougalll was sent to? For people who were even denied their right to vote because of him and his friends.

[life_long_dem]

37. Maybe GITMO. Torture is allowed and encouraged. Kathy will be

a welcome sight; a welcome sight indeed.

U.S. Military personnel are sick of this Dictatorship and will gladly accept a turncoat; one that destroys Americans' civil rights.

I believe John Kerry is the only salvation for our people in the Military; Shrubby thinks he owns them, and that is not right.

I look forward to the demise of the Traitors.

[wiggs]

6. Could not be more clear!

Let's see some arrests now.

[texpatriot2004]

9. Gee, what kind of commie would oppose a recount of the votes?

[Skittles]

11. not communists - republicans

repugs do all they can to suppress votes AND STEAL VOTES......the bastards stole Ohio, plain as day

[Action Jackson]

12. i would love to see him go to jail but

since when is it illegal to lie on TV?

[Der Blaue Engel]

21. Lying makes him a jackass...

Obstructing access to public records makes him a criminal:

‘A violation of any provision of Title XXXV (35) of the Revised Code constitutes a prima facie case of election fraud within the purview of such Title.’

[merh]

31. We know it's not, the shrub does it all the time!

20. e-mail from Katherine Yurica

It may be impossible for critics to claim that only fans of conspiracy theories believe that voter fraud occurred in Ohio. We now have prima facie evidence of fraud by Kenneth Blackwell's office, when an order directed election officials to remove all voter records from the public domain to private ownership. Ohio law forbids it! Read our new article:

Here's another way you can help:

Copy and paste the following letter into this web-site

http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/contact.html and tell the Judiciary Committee you want hearings on Ohio!


Rep. Conyers needs your help!

Rep. John Conyers feels he needs a million e-mails to compel the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings about the 2004 election. Spread this message among your list of liberal friends and associates. Go here:



SAMPLE LETTER:

DEAR HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE:

1. To ensure the legitimacy of the people apparently elected in the 2004 election, the House Judiciary Committee must do the following.

2. Openly hold hearings and investigate all cases of alleged voter fraud, for example those charged by Blackboxvoting.org.

3. Make sure that all recountable ballots are recounted, when requested. Do not allow stonewalling by secretaries of state with vested interest in one outcome.

4. Hold hearings on the numerous discrepancies between the pure exit polls (those not blended with vote tabulations) and the black box voting machines. Investigate the statistical studies by researchers at our top universities, showing prohibitively tiny probability that the discrepancies were due to the random chance associated with sampling error.

5. Investigate the numerous mistakes in vote counting reported this election, and the allegation that they are all in favor of Bush and against Kerry.

6. Do not certify the 2004 elections until these steps have been taken, and you have determined, in open and publicized hearings, that the apparent winners of the elections are indeed the winners. If the reverse is shown, do not certify the elections at all and let there be re-votes.

In addition, democracy and future elections must be safeguarded with the following legislation:

7. No black box voting. Every voter needs a verifiable, and recountable, paper trail. Democracies have never assumed that all black box controllers would be honest, always.

Open code on voting machines, to verify their honest programming. The trade secret excuse is silly at best, deceptive at worst. It is not difficult to program a computer to count and add. Touchscreens add complication, and potential for mistakes and more cheating, so tell vendors who want secret computer code because of their touchscreens to use pushbuttons, or paper.

8. Create minimum standards for vendors of voting material. They must be free of partisan activity, and their activities and programming must be open to public viewing. How do you think we look to the world and our citizens - when the owner of the (Diebold) black box machines counting most of our un-recountable votes openly promised to deliver Ohio to George W. Bush?

It is your sacred duty to preserve democracy, and it is a higher goal than electing any particular party or ticket.

Sincerely, XXX

[BrotherBuzz]

30. As a whole new post?

I'm on Yurica Report e-mail notification list and just posted the body of her e-mail sent to me. Feel free to start a new thread if you think it merits one, but I think there is another thread running on this matter. (Skinner, hurry up and process your snai-mail so I can get my damn star back and do some DU searching ;))

[nofurylike]

36. "millions of letters," it said. that's why. no worry. thanks for replying/

[3smos]

[sabra]

24. It was very distasteful! n/t

[bunny planet]

27. Can someone notify KO that he has a very important piece of evidence

in that tape, if he doesn't know it already. I suggest he instructs someone on his staff to make lots of copies!:scared: I think I'll write him now to give him a heads up.

[4democracy]

28. If Blackwell gets away with THIS, there will be no stopping him

[Hobbes199]

32. So this would mean...

That Fraud can be assumed, and that the onus would be on THEM to prove that no fraud occurred?

Am I reading this right, or what? This is beautiful justice. The way it should be in the first place.
