The Spoiled Ohio Election

Share article:

I dare you to read this entire Columbus Free Press article and then explain to me why Ohio’s election shouldn’t be entirely invalidated and re-held!

Here’s the first graf…

COLUMBUS — A floodtide of evidence of questionable practices in the 2004 election is mounting fast against Ohio Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell and Republican Franklin County Board of Elections (BOE) Director Matt Damschroder. New transcriptions of sworn voter testimony, presented below for the first time, confirm growing suspicions of widespread use of rigged machines. Voters experienced hostility from poll workers, refusal of Republican election officials to follow the law, and discriminatory manipulation of voting machine placement, driving significant numbers of Democrats away from the polls.

Now go read the rest and get back to me.

    Repeat after me everyone:

    "Prove My Vote Counts, Now"

    "Halt and Audit"

    "Prove My Vote Counts, Now"

    "Halt and Audit"

    Let us all begin behaving as if we actually care about our Democracy before it is gone.

    Peace.

    These are serious allegations and if they were true they would be very disturbing. Fortunately for those who prefer no to be disturbed, they are all false, as can be easily proven. Listen:

    If any of these charges had any basis in fact, then they would be worth investigating. And if they were worth investigating, then the New York Times would be all over them.

    But the Times is NOT all over them and therefore we may safely conclude that they are NOT worth investigating. Therefore they couldn’t POSSIBLY be true, and since they are not true then there is NO NEED for anyone to be disturbed about anything.

    How’s that? Did somebody say something about irony?

    Um…the New York Times hasn’t even reported on stories from other media that have PROVEN actual vote irregularities, even when election officials admit machine error or suspicious results…should we trust the Times to be the barometer for "credibility" now?

    Dude, you’re a little behind, and a little TOO gullible of the New York Times.

    Look folks . . . I am an optimist. Even in spite of this, I have no reason to think that Americans are strong enough to actually FIGHT this shit! I am right, aren’t I?

    That is the sad part of all this. We all have one thing in common – we are frustrated and we see the truth. How many of us are there, really? How many of us are together on this point?

    Okay – given there may be oh, say, 56 million of us, how many of that number truly want to ACT to save the shit of our country right now?

    Not enough.

    We’re here; where are the rest?
