Dem lays out case against Bush's Ohio win

By Malia Rulon, Associated Press Writer | January 5, 2005

WASHINGTON -- The senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee protested President Bush's re-election Wednesday with a new report claiming serious election irregularities and "significant disenfranchisement" of voters in Ohio. The report by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan says Congress should challenge the Electoral College vote when it is tallied Thursday in the House of Representatives and investigate all claims of voter problems in Ohio.

"We have found numerous, serious election irregularities in the Ohio presidential election," the report said. "There are ample grounds for challenging the electors from the state of Ohio."

Ohio's 20 electoral votes were critical for Bush's defeat of Democratic Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. A recount showed Bush winning Ohio by 118,599 votes, the Ohio Secretary of State's Office announced Wednesday.

3. Wow indeed, 13 hours to go and the MSM notices. Man these
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 09:38 PM by McCamy Taylor
guys are slow. My local paper gets most of its new from AP and it has had a firewall up to protect against Votergate 2004 stories (I live in Fort Worth home of Lockheed one of the biggest war profiteers under Bush-Cheney). I wonder if they will publish this story tomorrow to prepare their readers for the story they will have to run Friday to explain what happened on Thursday, which is going to come as shock to Fort Worth residents who have gotten their news strictly from this heavily censored newspaper.

Indeed, I wonder if the AP wrote this article expressly for the many newspapers across America which have been avoiding the story and which now need to print something fast so they can avoid being caught with their pants down.

5. THIS IS THE MOST DAMNING......this is why we need a RE-VOTE
"The report also contends there were widespread instances of intimidation and misinformation, improper purging of voter registration lists, a lack of inspection for about 93,000 ballots where no vote was cast for president, and vote totals not matching registration numbers or exit poll data.

"In many cases these irregularities were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior, much of it involving Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio," the report said."

==============================================================

INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT AND ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR MUCH OF IT INVOLVING SECRETARY OF STATE J. KENNETH BLACKWELL!!!

Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 09:37 PM by sfexpat2000
or any one for that matter, doesn't always quote word for word

My family got a lot of press over something, and reading our words transcribed, we said," Is THAT what I said?"

15. And there was just a blip on faux news!
A few words about tomorrow's certification and the possibility of members of the senate and congress contesting. I caught it while scrolling the channels as I have a dreaded fear of watching fox and turning into a pod person.
