Has Ohio SOS Blackwell set up a website for recount totals?
It'd be nice to get a running total as the results come in.

1. I can't imagine him publicizing a recount he didn't want to happen
in the first place. This is about secrecy, not transparency.

2. and if they publish anything

4. He'll lock it down...
...on the grounds that recount results aren't 'public records'

3. Did you read the letter from Kerry....
Blackwell has been acting like he has something to hide. So Kerry is coordinating directly with the individual county elections officials, all 88 of them.

Blackwell is not interested in the recount, would you if it meant jail time!


Read It!

8. A Former Lurker's Question
Hello everybody. This is my first post, but I have been visiting DU since just before the election. This message board has been helping to keep me sane and providing me with facts and information that the major media refuses to touch.

I would have started a thread with the following question but apparently I have to earn my wings first, so I apologize if I'm changing the subject slightly here.

The new spin from the Republicans on the situation in Ohio is this: the law requires that two Republicans and two Democrats observe in each precinct, and they say that because none of these Democratic observers have spoken out to complain about the 2004 election, that proves that everything was on the level. My question is this: Where are the complaints from the Democratic observers over the course of the election? Has this just gone unreported too?

If this has been covered elsewhere, please post a link. Thanks, everyone! I hope you realize how important this site has become. You're doing some of the best work on the web!

Cheers,
Phantom

9. Problem Is
That Proves Nothing.

There is no reason to believe that the election fraud was committed in such a way that would've been obvious to the Democratic Observers.

Would they KNOW that the machines tallied wrong? Would they KNOW that technicians rigged machines? etc...

Furthermore there have absolutely been several to complain, but I'm not up to searching for the links right now.

11. As a matter of fact
Unless your stupid you setup the fraud to go unnoticed under a seemingly normal election. btw oh yeah there is video of voter fraud seen it don't remember where and it's of Nov 2004.

The election fraud is different thing you need experts to testify to findings.

7. It'll Take Some Time
It isn't that easy for him to just put up the recount numbers.

First, they get the raw numbers showing Kerry gains, then they have to compare that to the 'real' numbers that came in on election day and fix them to be more reflective of the 'will' of the people. hehe

10. Bet your boots---
If bush needed a recount, it would have certainly been accomplished in a couple of days! He also would send a military force to take care of anyone who might stand in his way. It stands to reason then, that if blackwell were a Dem. and refused recount or used a lockdown against his order for one, the said blackwell would now be in custody if still alive.
