The Negative MSM stories are coming... [View All]

[dzika]

I see a trend for some negative press during the first of the week.

Recounds in Ohio have gone "too well" and this will generate some negative stories.

Don't let the benign titles fool you.

Reports from throughout Ohio present a clear and disturbing pattern
of state and local election officials obstructing the recount of
Ohio’s 2004 presidential vote, according to the Green Party’s
presidential campaign which initiated the recount and is monitoring
the process.

“Ohio election officials are violating both the spirit and the
letter of the law governing the recount,” said Cobb-LaMarche Media
Director Blair Bobier.

In two counties, Monroe and Fairfield, election officials have
refused to do a full hand recount, as required, when hand and
machine tallies don’t match. They have instead opted to get new
machines to count the votes

My View column for Dec. 19, 2004

What’s the fuss in recounting the votes? In 2000 and now 2004, why
is it morally wrong to have integrity in the voting process in
America?

A move is taking place in Congress to give every American the
constitutional right to vote. Today, we have a state’s right to vote
which provides 50 separate and unequal laws and rules relative to
voting governed by 50 secretaries of state.

In this post-election season, the voters are seeking three basic
actions to dispel any notion of an unfair election: first, the
recount; secondly, an investigation of improprieties; and thirdly,
the reclusions of Ken Blackwell from the process. All are in the
name of integrity in our electoral process.
