    Green Party Campaign Raises $150,000 in 4 Days, Shifts Gears to Phase II
    There will be a recount of the presidential vote in Ohio.
    On Thursday, David Cobb, the Green Party’s 2004 presidential candidate, announced his intention to seek a recount of the vote in Ohio. Since the required fee for a statewide recount is $113,600, the only question was whether that money could be raised in time to meet the filing deadline. That question has been answered.
    “Thanks to the thousands of (…)

    An effort led by Common Cause and the Alliance for Democracy is underway in Ohio to conduct a statewide recount.
    By Steven Rosenfeld
    Efforts to launch an official statewide recount of the Ohio presidential vote are underway. While it’s unclear if a recount will result in a Kerry victory, it’s likely to highlight many flaws in Ohio elections that may have tilted results toward Republicans and against Democrats.
    Common Cause of Ohio and the Alliance for Democracy, a progressive (…)

  • Bush Faces Mounting Allegations of Widespread Fraud in 2004 Election
    16 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    The evidence is mounting against George Bush and his election team for committing widespread fraud in the November 2004 elections. Documented allegations range from telephone subterfuge to get Democrats to stop voting, to high-tech warfare that suppressed the votes of thousands of Kerry supporters.
    By far the most effective method for Bush may have been the use of electronic voting machines, provided by three companies run by close friends of the Bush family. A total of three companies (…)

    I Smell a Rat BY COLIN SHEA I smell a rat. It has that distinctive and all-too-familiar odor of the species Republicanus floridius. We got a nasty bite from this pest four years ago and never quite recovered. Symptoms of a long-term infection are becoming distressingly apparent. The first sign of the rat was on election night. The jubilation of early exit polling had given way to rising anxiety as states fell one by one to the Red Tide. It was getting late in the smoky cellar of a (…)

    "I am grateful to the many people who have contacted me to express their deep concern about questions of miscounting, fraud, vote suppression, and other problems on election day, especially in Florida and Ohio. Their concern reflects how much people care about the outcome of this election.
    I want to you to know we are not ignoring it. Election protection lawyers are still on the job in Ohio and Florida and in DC making sure all the votes are counted accurately. I have been conferring with (…)

    Broward County officials want prosecutors to investigate about 30 registered voters who attempted to cast ballots twice in the Nov. 2 election.
    Members of the county’s canvassing board, who certified the county’s election results Friday, said they were concerned about voters who cast ballots by touch-screen voting machine at early-voting sites in the days before Nov. 2, then tried to cast paper ballots at the precincts on Election Day.
    Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes said she has (…)

  • Ohio voters tell of Election Day troubles at hearing
    16 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Reginald Fields
    Columbus
    Tales of waiting more than five hours to vote, voter intimidation, under-trained polling-station workers and too few or broken voting machines largely in urban or heavily minority areas were retold Saturday at a public hearing organized by voter-rights groups.
    For three hours, burdened voters, one after another, offered sworn testimony about Election Day voter suppression and irregularities that they believe are threatening democracy.
    The hearing, (…)

  • Ohio Vote Fraud: More Bush "Voters" Than Residents, at least 93,136 extra votes total

    In Ohio, the Republicans adhere strictly to the infamous vote fraud motto: Vote Early and Vote Often.
    Cuyahooga county is only one of 48 counties connected with voter fraud in Ohio and Florida.
    You may have seen the associated press story about the precinct in Cuyahoga county that had less than 1,000 voters, and gave Bush almost 4,000 extra votes.
    But that turns out to be only the tip of a very ugly iceberg. The evidence discovered by some remarkably careful sleuthing would convince (…)

  • In defense of John Kerry: A theory
    16 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    Rick Gagliano, 11/15/04, Downtown Magazine John Kerry lost the election on November 2nd.
    Or did he? Internet bloggers, web sites, professors with stats, Ralph Nader, the Greens and Libertarians in Ohio, and probably millions of people who haven’t seen or heard the theories focusing on potential fraud, manipulation and more - thanks to a media blackout on anything suggesting the election is not over and done with - beg to differ.
    More on the mainstream media later. First, what about (…)

    I hope you’ll read a paper called The Unexplained Exit Poll Discrepancy,
    http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=4347
    released on Thursday by Prof. Steven Freeman of the University of Pennsylvania. It’s worth seeing in its entirety. A lot of other folks have been posting about it. Rightly so.
    What jumped out at a lot of people on the night of the election was how the "errors" in the exit polls consistently occured in the same direction.
    The thing about genuine errors, (…)
