Jackson joins critics of Ohio vote

By John McCarthy
Associated Press

COLUMBUS | Although John Kerry has conceded the election and the Democratic Party is largely on the sidelines, critics of Ohio's vote count on Nov. 2 have found plenty to gripe about — uncounted punch-card votes, disqualified provisional ballots and too many votes for President Bush.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday that the Ohio Supreme Court should consider setting aside Bush's win in Ohio and that Congress should investigate how Ohioans voted.

Bush defeated Kerry in Ohio by 136,000 votes, according to unofficial results.

"This is about the integrity of the vote. This is not about the Kerry campaign," said Jackson, who supported the Democrat for president.

On the morning of Nov. 3, less than 12 hours after Ohio's final votes were cast, Kerry called Bush to congratulate him on his victory.

His campaign figured he would not get enough of the 155,000 provisional ballots, or those cast by voters whose registrations could not be confirmed at polling places, to overtake Bush's total.

The counting of provisional ballots and wide gaps in vote totals for Kerry and other Democrats on the ballots in certain counties have raised too many questions to let the vote stand without further examination, Jackson said.

"We can live with winning and losing. We cannot live with fraud and stealing," Jackson said.

Attorney Cliff Arnebeck, who has represented political activist groups, said he would ask the Ohio Supreme Court, probably on Wednesday, to take a look at the election results. If the court decides to hear the case, it can declare a new winner or throw the results out.

11. "critics of Ohio's vote ... have found plenty to gripe about"

I'm not griping. I'm pointing out the flawed, tainted election. Take off your rose-colored earmuffs, please.

Thank you very much, John McCarthyism.

10. The silence of the media is ominous to me

To me it says that the outcome of all of this has already been settled.
Either the Court will through it out or they will have some reason for not recounting the votes already decided on.
This is a bloodless coup on the American voter.

12. Link to coverage on NBC affiliate...

http://www.nbc4i.com/politics/3953104/detail.html

No info on size of crowd. At least they posted *something*, unlike the CBS affiliate.

13. This should be front page news and the Ukraine is covered

all day and night.

Don't tell me this is not a dictatorship.

14. JJ throws support to 3 Contesting Groups.

Tears in the eyes, people on their feet. Rev Jackson (after hearing him you won't call him Jesse, again!) gave a stirring speech on the civil rights. Many Af-Am's were not treated equally under the law (It's all true I witnessed it-IT IS A TRAVESTY! ) He called for a Constitutional Ammendment for the Right of Equal Protection for each voter. He demanded that Kenneth Blackwell recuse himself (they are so f-ing blatant)to making determinations that could affect this election. He called for a full investigation in to wrong doings. He also stated new data that I just posted under breaking news attached to the Ohio Jackson rally. Check it out I am new at this and don't really have a clue on how to make connections.

Come to the Rally on Sat in Columbus and hear for yourselves. Rev Jackson is a GREAT orator! I've got little kids-gotta go.
