"Another third-rate burglary" - by Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D.
“They knew what they wanted,” Mr. Chabler said, calling the incident a “third-rate burglary,” a not-so-subtle reference to the break-in at National Democratic Committee offices in 1972 that began the Watergate scandal that eventually led to the President Nixon's resignation.

The burglary gave the thieves exclusive possession of two months’ worth of Democratic voter canvass records. It allowed them to target specific wards and precincts for voter suppression operations, and left the Democrats unable to prevent it.

When the precinct numbers are combined into totals for each ward, a clear and unmistakable pattern emerges. The 14 wards with the highest reported turnout were won by John Kerry by a margin of 11 to 7 in the aggregate. The 10 wards with the lowest reported turnout were won by John Kerry by a margin of 6 to 1 in the aggregate.

It's been so peaceful away from the computer for the past couple days.

Interesting article, thanks.

Conspiracy?

“Well, you know, orchestrated attempts don't always require a conspiracy." -John Conyers

"(John Conyers) is not only a lawyer, he’s a Watergate lawyer,
having sat on the same Judiciary Committee that saw Richard Nixon’s
presidency unravel in 1973-74....."

"Conspirators can be convicted even if they don’t know all the other
players or the whole scope of the criminal enterprise. They need only
be shown to have acted in the furtherance of the larger scheme...."

3. Richard's Original Article Lucas County is now updated
Rigging the vote in Lucas County
by Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D.
http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2004/979
December 10, 2004

Revised December 24, 2004

...The very first thing we all noticed when examining the precinct canvass records for Lucas County was the distribution of turnout. The range is striking, and turnout is distinctly higher in the Bush precincts than in the Kerry precincts. In some precincts the reported turnout is too high to be credible.

...Turnout above 90% is almost unheard of. I have examined the canvass records in eight other Ohio counties and have seen reported turnout above 90% only in two precincts in Miami County where, in my professional opinion, the election was hacked. Miami and Lucas counties are also the only two counties whose records I have examined that used optical scanning machines, as confirmed by the map posted at verifiedvoting.org/verifier/map.php?&topic_string=5std&state=Ohio.

...I also noticed that among the suburban precincts with the highest reported turnout, 4 of the top 7 are in one township, 7 of the top 10 are in two townships, and 14 of the top 25 are in three townships.

...It now becomes obvious that voter suppression in inner-city precincts has been going on for a long time. The Republicans have it down to an art form, as described in my companion paper, “Another Third Rate Burglary.”

V. important.
