"The Coverup Is Also Important"

[Firespirit]

I just sent this to Rep. Conyers and thought that some of you might want to read it:



Dear Representative Conyers,

I salute you for your patriotic acts in investigating the irregularities and possible vote fraud in Ohio, and for your courageous stand to contest the electors from that state. If nothing else, it will awaken the public to the sad reality of the state of our election system and kickstart great reforms.

I do not know what is contained in the report that you are giving to your colleagues, but I am writing to urge you--if you do not already plan to do so--to call attention to the steps that people have taken to thwart an investigation into the problems. In particular, I speak of the thwarting of a forensic investigation of the voting machines and tabulators. Among the charges that have been leveled by individuals involved in the Ohio investigations is the charge of rigging the vote electronically in some areas.

This is a very serious charge to make, one that you would think the accused would try their utmost to prove false if that be the case. Generally, when an innocent man is suspected of a crime, it is logical for him to make available any facts that would help establish his innocence. If the charge of computer election fraud is false, it would seem that those with the power to do so would want to prove their innocence and bury that charge once and for all. Yet Secretary Blackwell, several Boards of Elections, at least one judge, and officials in Diebold, Triad Systems, and ES&S have done the exact opposite with respect to the electronic equipment.

Such actions are not proof of guilt, but in consideration of the statistical irregularities and peculiar results that have been reported, the suspected widespread machine tampering, and the numerous violations of recount law, the actions of stonewalling are hardly helping to establish innocence. In fact, they are only adding fuel to the fire of those who suspect or believe that there was fraud.

I therefore ask you, Representative Conyers, to mention the incredible amount of stonewalling that has taken place with respect to the computers. I ask you to speak of it to the Senators, to your House colleagues, and in any public statements you may make for your formal objection. The coverup must be brought to the media and the public. With such pressure, I believe that those persons who have been thwarting a forensic investigation will have little choice but to give in. Then the questions can at last be answered definitively.

Thank you for all your work these past two months. I hope that you will continue to be a Congressional voice in favor of accountability and transparency in our elections.

Sincerely,

(Firespirit)

4. That is a wonderful letter.

You had some very good points. You know, when this is over we all should take the time to send a letter to Conyers and thanks him. He is a great guy.
