[geo]

Hi all,

You won't believe this, but Yahoo! seems to have pulled a bait and switch. Here is the new link:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&ncid=536&e=6&u=/ap/20041205/ap_on_el_pr/ohio_vote

Please rate this story again even if you rated it before, because the link on the other thread has a rating system that doesn't move.

And while you are at it, here is one on the Washington recount:

It's also the 6th story on Yahoo's "Most Popular" list, which I think is pretty good considering how little main stream press we've gotten.

51. FBI refuses complaint alleging OH voter fraud

FBI Refuses Complaint Alleging Ohio Voter Fraud

(by Don DeBar, Dec 3, 2004) The White Plains office of the FBI today
refused to accept a complaint detailing allegations of compound
felonies of voter fraud, conspiracy and other offenses in connection
with the Ohio conduct of last month's presidential election.

A group of election activists called Transparent Democracy -
including civil rights attorney Michael Sussman, Greenburgh town
supervisor Paul Feiner, and four others - attempted to present the
complaint at noon today while dozens of protestors carried signs
outside supporting the call for an investigation.

The smaller group was denied access to the FBI's Westchester offices
at 222 Bloomingdale Road in White Plains. Organizer Nicholas Mottern
had previously arranged with the office to present the complaint.
However, when they arrived in the building's lobby, he and the
others were informed by building security that the FBI had
instructed management not to allow them access to the Bureau's
offices, and that the FBI would not send a representative down to
the desk to accept the complaint.
