Rochester NY Fraud alleged

[Twist_U_Up]

December 3, 2004) — About 100 protesters rallied Thursday across from the offices of the Democrat and Chronicle, saying they were not satisfied by news coverage of what they called election fraud in this year's presidential election.

The protesters discussed circumstances from Ohio to Florida to Pennsylvania that, they said, seemed to stack the election toward President George W. Bush.

A few members of the group said they witnessed election problems first-hand and have tried to convey their stories to the media, to little or no avail. Vicki Lewin Ryder of Rochester was in Palm Beach County, Fla., on Election Day as a volunteer with the nonpartisan Election Protection Program — a group that tried to ensure that proper voting procedures were followed — and said she saw "voter suppression and voter intimidation."

2. Media Blackout on Election Fraud by Media News Group

Someone needs to get ahold of these guys

<To those of us on the inside of this issue, it seems inconceivable that our local newspapers would offer a front page story on election fraud in Ukraine while ignoring stories of the same right here at home in the United States.

Every day, since November 2nd, 2004, stories have emerged detailing such things as malfunctioning voting machines, fraudulent election records in Volusia, Florida, inconsistent numbers of voter registrations vs. vote totals in Ohio, credible university studies showing serious statistical impossibilities in election results, and much more. Yet, these daily revelations have been almost completely ignored by our media. These reports are coming not from persons with tin foil hats as is often claimed, but from PhD level citizens, election officials, and voting rights activists.>

5. I was at that rally

and 100 protesters was a pretty good turnout for an area that, itself, didn't have reports of election irregularities.

The organizer of the rally (Jon Greenbaum of MetroJustice) met with one of the paper's editor's just prior to the rally (she was concerned about why we were protesting). The editor, when questioned about the coverage that the Ukraine election fraud was getting by the paper, said, "Well, we have a lot of Ukrainians in the area." (!!!!) Jon replied: "We have a lot of AMERICANS in the area, too!"

Other than the little blurb in the D&C, the event didn't get coverage. Still, it's a start.
