Potential Whistleblowers?
Advertisements [?]
We're looking for someone on the inside to give us damaging proof or testimony, right?

I just posted this on another thread but decided that maybe it deserves its own, so I'll just paste it here. Sorry if this isn't protocol!

I picked up an interesting article before the election:

Board Of Elections Worker Resigns

Worker Doesn't Give Reason For Resignation

POSTED: 5:52 pm EDT October 24, 2004
CLEVELAND -- The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections said the woman in charge of the absentee ballots resigned, NewsChannel5 reported.

Board of Elections Director Michael Vu said Sondra Robinson did not say why she was resigning.

Robinson worked for the board of elections for three years.

I found it fishy at the time, but have never seen a followup. Does this perhaps warrant a new thread? I'm pretty new DU and don't know the protocols that well yet.

Maybe this woman could be a whistleblower.

I'm in Ohio and have tried to find information about SR. The only thing I've found so far was an odd 2002 posting on FindLaw:

"Mr. Conover. What if someone intercepts your mail, makes copies of it and threatens to blackmail you with it? My Ex accessed my email account AFTER he moved out. Then he made copies of it. I would like to take legal action but do not know where to begin. Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely SRR"

Then it gives her email address, which I'm not including, since I have no way of knowing if it's even the same SR. Still, it kind of made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or other potential whistleblowers they'd like to talk about? Is there any way to persuade these people? Obviously, the $200K reward that one group is offering isn't enough to sway anyone... yet.
