Blackwell's website boasts his Internet election savvy!
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 11:52 AM by cyberpj
Someone else brought this up here but buried in another thread. Wish I could find them to give them credit but thought it well worth posting before I dash out to work today.......

This is from Blackwell's own website and sounds pretty scary with regard to the vote fraud questions and investigations. I sent that comment and the info and link to Jesse Jackson, PDP, and Green Party people.

======================================================

Develop an integrated information and communications network linking the Secretary of State`s office to each county board of elections.

Ken Blackwell has brought online access to critical information at the Secretary of State’s Office to every board of elections. Computers with Internet access were installed in each of Ohio’s 88 county boards, giving election administrators the ability to communicate with each other and with the secretary of state via the Internet. This dramatically improves election administration through the rapid distribution of opinions, advisories and updates from the Secretary of State and through fast verification of voter records. The Secretary of State’s website is already one of the best around; providing historical election data, voter registration statistics, statewide election results, and many other valuable services.

To go even further, the Secretary of State’s Office is currently working on a major web portal project that will bring online voter lists, an election advisory library and a Virtual Private Network to enable real-time election reporting on Election Day. Ken Blackwell is bringing 21st Century Technology into the homes of every citizen.

Ken Blackwell is bringing 21st Century Technology into the homes of every citizen!?!?!? So did Big Brother! -PJ

1. From a PR standpoint...
...and in theory, this sounds high tech and wonderful. In reality, it's fraud waiting to happen (which it has).

2. Blackwell Poll Shows He Is Pick of GOP
I like this page, too.......
===========================================
High-profile crusades boost governor hopes

After high-profile crusades for tax cuts and against gay marriage, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell now leads the two other Republicans who want to be Ohio`s next governor, according to a poll of GOP voters commissioned by Blackwell`s campaign.

Of the 511 people surveyed, 36 percent supported Blackwell for the nomination, 21 percent favored Auditor Betty Montgomery and Attorney General Jim Petro trailed with 18 percent.

The remaining 25 percent were undecided or did not intend to vote.

6. Thanks for the link, I let him know
that his only accomplishment of note was that he strengthen the determination of progressives to end his career via PRISON. I hope everyone writes him and lets him know how they feel!

7. And yet, it took 34 days to certify the election?
I thought the internet was supposed to speed things up? Back in 2000, didn't it take them only about a week to certify the Ohio election?
