I know, not much of a surprise..cool to see it spreading though. I hope this breaks through to the major news networks, so the majority of the US can see this stuff.

2. Shhh! You'll wake the sleeping lion
What are you doing?

People will get riled up, start demanding truth and honesty.

And, as you know, that is not supporting our President!

3. the columbus dispatch had a story on it today.
Jim Woods
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

A computer error involving one voting-machine cartridge gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in a Gahanna precinct.

Franklin County’s unofficial results gave Bush 4,258 votes to Democratic challenger John Kerry’s 260 votes in Precinct 1B, which votes at New Life Church on Stygler Road. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.

Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, said Bush received 365 votes there.

"It’s why the results on election night are unofficial," Damschroder said.

4. Would it be possible to have a separate forum or someplace
central that all the "fraud" messages can be posted?

10. I assume you're referring to my use of quotation marks?
No -- not sarcastic. Just meaning to separate out and highlight that topic, and if I misused the quotation marks, I apologize.

8. I agree. We need a central place where we can direct news media...

9. ELECTION SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE - connection to Bush

This stinks worse than a rotten fish.

"A technician from the Omaha, Neb. company that designed the software, Election Systems & Software Inc., was working to diagnose and fix the problem."

ELECTION SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE
11208 John Galt Blvd
Omaha, NE 68137-2320
402-593-0101
Aldo Tesi President
Bill Welsh Chairman Of The Board
Michael Limas Chief Operating Officer
Tom Brien Chief Financial Officer
Computer Peripheral Equipment, Optical Scanning Devices

<http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/news/die_bold.htm>

"ELECTION SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE (ES&S).
CEO: Aldo Tesi
Supplies nearly half the voting machines used in the United States. ES&S is a subsidiary of McCarthy Group Inc., which is jointly held by the holding firm and the Omaha World-Herald Co., which publishes the state’s largest newspaper.
Former conservative radio talk-show host and now Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel was the head of, and continues to own part interest in, ES&S (then AIS), who installed, programmed, and largely ran the voting machines that were used by most of the citizens of Nebraska, in elections where Hagel won very unexpected landslide victories.Senator Hagel is a key advocate for the Bush campaign, and with his experience on the Senate Commerce Committee focusing on telecommunications and trade, was once considered as a Vice Presidential running mate for George Walker Bush"

This needs to be media blasted, please someone contact the media, I don't have time.
