Out2.com's Contrarian Columnist Andy Martin Reports from Stark County Ohio

Announcement of News Conference

STARK COUNTY, Ohio, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- News Conference Details:

WHAT: Out2.com's Contrarian Columnist/analyst Andy Martin continues his
path finding research in Ohio and discusses possible presidential vote fraud

WHERE: Canton Marriott McKinley Grand Hotel, Room 810, Canton, Ohio

WHEN: Tuesday, November 16, 2004, 10:00 A.M.

MEDIA CONTACT: Andy Martin [phone] Room 810
[phone]

Andy Martin, independent Contrarian Columnist and chief national/foreign
correspondent for Out2.com, will hold a news conference Tuesday, November 16th
in Stark County, Ohio , to offer his latest research and commentary on
whether the race for the White House was compromised by vote fraud in Ohio.
Martin uses proprietary survey research methods he originally developed at the
University of Illinois. He correctly predicted that Senator Kerry would carry
Ohio's bellwether county but apparently erred in suggesting Kerry would win
the entire state.

Martin will conduct his news conference as an informal coffee klatch in
Room 810 of the downtown Canton Marriott McKinley Grand Hotel at 10:00 A.M. on
Tuesday, November 16th.

Excerpts from Martin's column follow:

"FEARS GROW THAT A SECOND NATIONAL ELECTION WAS DECIDED BY
POLITICAL CHICANERY AND VOTE FRAUD"

CONTRARIAN COMMENTARY FOR OUT2.COM BY ANDY MARTIN

The presidential election is over. Or is it? Did Ohio really vote for
Bush? Senator Kerry threw in the towel in Ohio, precipitously in my opinion.
Before the election Kerry told his supporters he would "fight for every vote."
Even though votes remain to be counted Kerry is nowhere to be seen. He changed
his mind, again.
The vote in Ohio was a scandal. It was disgraceful. It was an outrage. But
mighty Kerry is nowhere on the scene (yes, he has sent a couple of lawyers to
Ohio, no doubt to "preserve his options.") But it ain't over yet. They are
still counting. What if Kerry really won? What if they stole the election?
While no one was really watching?
This is the first time that the mainstream media have been reporting on an
election scandal by crediting the vigorous vote fraud debate on the Internet.
The media are afraid to report their own truths, so they report other truths,
labeling them as "Internet theories." After all, who wants to report an
outcome favorable to a fighter who has left the ring?

Andy Martin is independent Contrarian Columnist and chief national and
foreign correspondent for Out2.com. (Register at Out2.com, then see Govt &
Politics). Andy studied survey research at the University of Illinois. He has
been reporting from Ohio's former bellwether county, Stark County. Andy has
been involved in radio and television broadcasting since 1968. Martin's talk
radio show is expected to resume shortly. Comments/reaction: e-mail:

13. No Press Conference

I just returned from meeting Andy Martin. He's going to post a story later today. Talked to him for about 20 min. Nothing new. His main point was there should be an "independent" investigation. Blackwell obviously involved (Duh). Looked at it from a media point of view. Voinovich's message same as Kerry's, why such different results. Definitely believes Ohio was stolen, but offered nothing that hasn't been posted here. Nice enough guy, but IMHO, just a guy looking for a story.

in this thread (which really doesn't have anything more in it:

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

So what do you mean there was no press conference? Was Blackwell there? What do you mean "was involved?"

Please, a slightly more substantial description would be very helpful.

12. Sorry for any confusion.

Yes I did go. There was no press conference. Went and knocked on room 810. Just a hotel room. Andy Martin spoke with me for about 20 min. He will post a story (that's what he told me) on out2.com later today.
He hasn't done much investigating if any. He knew less about what was happening in Stark Co. than I do. He, like most people without a white cane and sunglasses, believes that Ohio was stolen. Believes that it was coordinated at the state level through Blackwell's agenda. Blackwell was not there, no one was there. Sorry, for the choppy sentances in the earlier post, but I didn't want to just write blah, blah, blah. Perhaps his article will answer more of your questions than I can.
