More Fraud?
Don't know how accurate this is at this late date, but here it is, for what it's worth:


Several volunteer workers in the Ohio recount in Clermont County, Ohio have prepared affidavits alleging serious tampering, violations of state and federal law and possible fraud. They name the Republican chief of Clermont's Board of Elections Daniel Bare and the head of the Clermont Democratic Party Priscilla O'Donnell as complicit in these acts.

These volunteers, observing the recount on behalf of the Greens, Libertarians and Democrats, assert that during the Dec. 14, 2004 hand recount they noticed stickers covering the Kerry/Edwards oval, whereas the Bush/Cheney oval seemed to be "colored in."

Some witnesses state that beneath the stickers, the Kerry/Edwards oval was selected. The opti-scan ballots were then fed into the machines after the hand recount.

Allegations of ballot tampering in Ohio - which decided the outcome of the presidential election by some 100,000 votes - find particular resonance in Clermont, one of three Ohio counties which saw the biggest increases in votes for Bush from 2000 to 2004. The other counties were Butler and Warren; Warren County had a lockdown after an alleged terror threat that the FBI later denied.

1. But they have no air conditioning .......

..... so the system went down because of too much humidity and
when "they" finished the hand count the republican's lead went from
just under 800 votes to over 3000 votes which put the margin at a
level that was too great to have a re count.

I would have bought the story that Hackett lost fair and square
except for the humidity story .... where the hell where the machines
or tabulators? In barns?

S.W. Ohio gets hot all churches, most schools, meeting halls, fire stations,
and so have A.C.. Where were the 91 precincts that provided the last 10%
of the vote? Where were the polls? Where was the tabulator?

Once again a "glitch" favors the republican.
