A special prosecutor investigating charges of illegal conduct in election recount last December has subpoenaed employees of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections...

Toledo lawyer Richard Kerger made the charges last December on behalf of Green Party candidate David Cobb and Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik.

In a Dec. 31 letter to the board and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason, Kerger charged that the elections board staff broke the law because:...

Kerger asked the board to refer the matter to Mason's office. Mason appointed Baxter special prosecutor in the spring of this year to avoid a conflict of interest, since his office also represents the Board of Elections.

6. Algorem ... great post. HUGE potential here.

I followed this OH special prosecutor appointment when it was made. It's a real sleeper. If the guy has gumption, this could turn into something major.

8. Let's not get carried away

Let's not get carried away, folks.

It's just an investigation of a complaint that's been filed.

Every citizen of Ohio should be filing such complaints, and every county should have prosecutors looking into them, so in that sense it's a very good thing that it is at least happening in Cuyahoga County, where disenfranchisement was indeed massive.

But more than that it isn't.

At least not yet.

9. Ohio is heating up......

Bob Taft investigated could be impeached by force, and Board of Elections workers are being brought to court.

1) Those who did witness illegal wrong-doing, could squeal on their supervisors, blame it on incompetence and malfesceance.

2) Those who end up having a conscience will tell on Kenneth Blackwell, and that will put Blackwell back in the spotlight yet again after his illegal contributions through Thomas Noe. :hi:

13. why not Clermont County?

just wondering why the most blatant offenses are being ignored. Is there even an investigation going on into the white stickers? last I heard, the FBI hadn't even called the witnesses.
