Blackwell on Nightline failed to mention....
Well, the list would be rather long.

His main poo-poo'ing strategy was to claim that vote-tampering in Ohio
on a scale that would reverse the winner, would have needed the active
participation of dozens of Democratic Board of Elections officials in
dozens of precincts.

How many of these precincts used tabulation computers? How many
of those were Triad? Aren't the behavior or Triad individuals to the
extent that we know of that behavior, prima facie plenty damn suspicious? How many of those upstanding Dems with power in the BOE's
are computer savvy and capable of monitoring exactly what went on with
their computers? Not to mention e-voting machines.

In case you haven't seen it I'll direct your attention to

http://www.votefraud.org/Archive/Write/wiretap2.htm

which happens to be in another thread today. About a vintage
e-frauding case in Ohio, facts of which dredged up through the
then-functioning judicial system.

1. Not only Koppel, but election supervisors are clueless about undetectable
tampering with the vote totals in the central tabulating computers.

2. It doesn't help his argument that he himself
appoints people to the 'bi-partisan' election boards. Republicans and DINO's for all I know...

5. not worth wasting my video tape
Sorry, I didn't record it, are you saying B. really said that? If
so, I'm glad for his sake he wasn't under oath. Actually, the best he might be able to do is to say that the machines were certified. Which is no assurance at all except to those who want to be assured.
