From today’s Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Their challenge could lead to widespread reconsideration of dozens of alleged election irregularities around the state – from reported computerized voting glitches to provisional-ballot mishaps to unusual incidents involving voter rolls, poll workers and machine technicians.
…
Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office, said many glitches brought to light on Internet blogs and in the alternative press will be corrected in the state’s official canvass of the election.
That process, which turns unofficial election results into official ones, is still under way.
…
Susan Truitt, co-founder of Citizens’ Alliance for Secure Elections and one of the participating lawyers, said Ohioans need to know their vote was properly counted.
“Our intent is to examine this election, and to prevail, so that we will have a democracy in this country,” she said. “So that we will not have our voices shut down.”
SIDENOTE: Notice LoParo’s statement that it was “Internet blogs” and “alternative press” that have brought “glitches” to light. While the word “glitches” may or may not be accurate, it’s certainly notable that even the Republican Ohio Sec. of State’s office is admitting that the blogs and alt. press have noticed, caught and reported errors while the Mainstream Media continues to nap.
Whether one believe these are “glitches” and/or whether there is enough of them found to change the national election seems to me to be beside the point. Such “glitches” have already reversed the results of several local races and initiatives across the country as is. And since they are all about counting our votes correctly in the world’s most important democracy, one would think that these issues would be a top priority for the MSM.
In other words, we (bloggers, etc.) have been right and the MSM has been wrong in not reporting and investigating these stories. Even the Republican Secretary of State’s office in Ohio has now officially admitted as much!
WAKE UP, CNN!!!
awesome! finally some progress!
awesome! finally some progress!
congratulations…Mort Kondracke has just referred to you as a "crazy"
Referred to who as crazy? All of us crazy leftist tinfoil-hat-wearing bloggers? Or me specifically?
He referred to the bloggers as a bunch of crazies. Of course he doesn’t go to them so the expanse of his knowledge is the exit poll disparity and the Fl counties that had Dems voting for Bush.
Oh, those Republican operative "newsshows" frustrate me so. Hell, last week, Joe Scarborough went in depth on…the Swift Boat Vets…again.
re: WAKE UP CNN!!!
I agree with you, it’s amazing how the MSM is ignoring this. However I find it even more amazing that Salon.com, The Nation, Al Franken etc., are ignoring this story also. Why are so many on the left afraid of this story?
Excellent questions. Why are so many on our side ignoring this. Way more than enough to at least warrant a thorough investigation. Saw where some fans got into a brouhau over a game. Yeah, citizens, now there is really something important to get knotted over. Possible fraud in an election. Ho hum. Go figure.
Bush should be the first one saying get on with the recount…He won didn’t he, fair and square??
