Dean calls Ohio Secretary of State one of the top 3 races for 2006

And believe me, I was in Philadelphia when Dean came to town and announced that! I went to a DNC fundraiser with Howard Dean and he announced the 3 most important races and the first one was your state & the Secretary of State.

Personally, I would have to agree. Blackwell has got to go and probably after the Ohio Primaries I'll donate to help out the cause. Hell if I lived near Ohio I'd be over in your state campaigning

Good luck you guys!!

3. clarification

Blackwell can't run for Sec of State as he has been there 8 years. It is a vital race. Not only for counting votes but it is one of the seats on the apportionment board which draws districts in Ohio. The others are Gov., Auditor, Majority and Minority leaders of the State House and Senate. Thus winning 2 out of 3 of the Gov. Auditor, and Sec of State races means control of redistricting.

4. Bryan Flannery is the Candidate

Last Night I went and saw the Candidate for Secretary of State here in Ohio. He is a great guy that firmly believes the Election was stolen. With the right support this is exactly what we need to help take back Ohio and our Elections.

Support Bryan Flannery for Secretary of State

5. What fact makes him believe it was stolen?

I remember lots of shenanigans and the ensuing stories, but how were votes taken away from Kerry?

6. Last Night Mr. Flannery Cited:

The Misallocation of voting machines in Particularly Democratic Precints cost thousands of votes. Voter intimidation by Republicans, faulty machinery not sufficent enough to trust, flat out technical malfunctions, the fact that Diebold and Triad openly donated to George W Bush, Kenneth Blackwell's decision to restrict provisional ballots to those who did not recieve absentee ballots in a timely manner, and the switching around of precints at last minute.

Just things like that as well as others.

7. Mr. Flannery sounds like a sharp man

When citing a stolen election, we just don't have the dynamite, absolute evidence that we need. From what you iterated, though, John Kerry may have lost the hundred-thousand or so votes that he needed. WE needed.
