The sun revolves around the Earth and George W. Bush won the
election in Ohio
by Bob Fitrakis
March 8, 2005

The Bush family and friends stole both the 2000 and 2004 Presidential
elections. The covert operations long associated with George Herbert
Walker Bush, former President and CIA director, are now overtly practiced
in key battleground states.

1. The #s make no sense unless you think * cheated.
Found out that not only did Franklin County, Ohio have 63 extra
voting machines ..... the former head of the County GOP now head of the
BOE loaded them on trucks and drove them around all election day
after deleting their registration #s from official lists.

We must never stop fighting these pigs!

Special Report

Exit poll madness

By Lynn Landes
Online Journal Contributing Writer

.

March 5, 2005—Beware of exit polls and the analysts who study them. These folks would have us believe that exit polls tell the gospel truth. They even quote the duplicitous toe-sucking Dick Morris to make their case. "Exit polls are almost never wrong," Morris writes. The man is a known creep.

Exit polls are completely non-transparent and unverifiable. They're as bad as voting by machine, absentee, or early. There's no meaningful oversight to either enterprise. Worse yet, a belief in exit polls is a trap that's had tragic consequences for elections around the world.

There's growing evidence that exit polls sponsored by the Bush administration and the International Republican Institute were used to support rigged elections in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine. Scott Ritter, the former U.N. weapons inspector, recently said that his information is that the Iraq election was fixed. Even the situation in the Ukraine is cause for concern as the Western governments used their own poll to discredit the first election and support the second one. It seems that the West's favorite candidate, winner Viktor Yushchenko, promised to privatize lots of government industries and services.

Although the elections in these countries were conducted using paper ballots and (mostly) hand counts, the counting took place behind closed doors and the results took weeks to announce. What did our corporate news media report to the world on the election night for these countries? Not the actual vote tallies, but instead the corporate news media jubilantly announced exit polls results. Most people didn't seem to notice the difference. And that's thanks to people like University of Pennsylvania professor Steve F. Freeman

4. Bob Fitrakis lead a great amount of the post election investigation in OH
He is not basing his assertion solely on exit polls. There is the blatant issue of suppression, challengers, intimidation, misinformation to voters, false homeland security lockdowns, last minute directives by the SOS, questionable practices by Triad, machine defaulting to bu$h, etc. Bob played an important role in holding public hearings shortly after the election so that voters could record affidavits. Lynn is suggesting that exit polls were possibly manipulated, therefore should not be trusted. Remember that discrepancy in the earlier polls vs the late polls? I believe that Bob is supporting the early poll evidence, prior to "correcting the numbers, later on".
