Blackwell To Testify On Ohio Elections Before Committee

Blackwell has denied the staff’s allegations.

"It was a stunning and disgraceful display demonstrating that there are those in Congress who are very willing to cast aside the Constitution and the lawfully certified vote of the people to wage a nasty and disingenuous partisan attack," Blackwell said in his testimony.

Everyone needs to hear the mentality of the man who decided the results of the US election for US. This man is planning on running for governor of Ohio, a reward for stealing the election for Bush?

I’m not sure why they didn’t get into his illegal activities surrounding the election and recount.

comment from attendee

I attended this hearing. Blackwell was extraordinarily
arrogant. At one point he turned his back to Rep. Millender-Mc Donald while she was asking him a question. When she said she would not speak to his back he motioned that he could still hear her question.
At another point she perhaps facetiously referred to him as an honorable man. Blackwell went on to add a number of complimentary synonyms to embelish this "compliment" to his character. His arrogance was not overlooked by Rep. Millender-Mc Donald who wryly added "and humble." to his list of self praise. This hearing was videotaped. I do not know how available the video is. I recommend Blackwell's performance. He had the audacity to brag about how well the election went in Ohio. He had explanations and excuses for every allegation that generally involved blaming others. I hope someone investigates his excuses and finds a way to hold him accountable.

another great comment

If I was Blackwell, I'd be a little worried that I was becoming too much of a liability to Bushco. The man obviously has little, if any self control, and seems to act out like a child. With all that happened in Ohio, and all thats at stake if those crimes were ever to be revealed, I would think he is being watched closely by "The Family" for any sign that he's on the verge of slipping up and spilling the beans, and the way he seems to have a flair for drawing attention to himself with all his arrogance and antics must surely qualify him as a top candidate for a good old suiciding. He's making a lot of enemies right now and I'm hoping it's gonna come back and bite him in the ass. And quick.


comment says covered by Air America(name of Cia airline that ran drugs out of cambodia? in the 70's)

BRAD, I am sure you have heard by now, but Bradblog and the Blackwell hearing story was featured on Air America Radio, Unfiltered with Rachel Maddow.

Was great coverage of your story and they even played the Blackwell recording.

Maybe you can get in touch with them to discuss it on the air. There is no phone where I am working right now or i would call them up and suggest it.

They gave you a big plug and really praised the Bradblog and your work.

Big Grats!!!

I managed to get on The Majority Report, but it was real brief . .regarding propaganda being rampant in the MSM.

As Blackwell Says, Ohio’s in 2004 was a National Model

by Steve Rosenfeld, Bob Fitrakis, and Harvey Wasserman
March 24, 2005

Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell finally testified – something he had refused to do in the Moss v. Bush Ohio election challenge before the State Supreme Court and refused to do in Washington, D.C. His testimony proved so contentious that at one point Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, D-OH, told him to “haul butt” if he was unwilling to answer questions about irregularities in the 2004 election.

“Mr. Blackwell, there have been many allegations put out there – you don’t want to hear that,” Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald said. “But they are out there… you did have long lines, therefore there was a certain amount of disenfranchisement.”

Blackwell – who turned his back to Millender-McDonald when she spoke and was told by the congresswoman to face him and speak up – had answers for all the problems cited. The shortage of voting machines was in part the federal government’s fault, he said, as HAVA required new machines – but only provided limited funding to buy those new machines. Thus he said he was unable to replace old machines or buy new ones, adding – and this is notable in itself – that even the newest electronic voting machines had unacceptable security flaws.

The thrust of Millender-McDonald’s questioning suggested that Blackwell’s policies, en masse, created barriers to voting – rather than opening the process to all citizens.

“A lot of assertions are made on Internet blogs or by wild conspiracy theorists,” he replied. “If I could interpret their brains or their minds, I’d be a rich man.”

Blackwell’s Heavy Hand

Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, D-OH, said rather than blame poll workers, explain what happened with the federal voter education money allocated under HAVA. The county directors said they didn’t receive that money from Blackwell. “It might have answered some of the issues that were floating around for this election,” she said.

Tubbs-Jones also asked if the county directors took park in creating a statewide election plan, another HAVA requirement. All replied no. In one instance, Cayuhoga County’s Vu said he told his 6,000 poll workers and 500 alternates to give out provisional ballots to anyone voter in question – which conflicted with Blackwell’s directive that provisional ballots only were to go to people who were in the proper precinct – a problem when a polling place had multiple lines and multiple precincts. Vu said he then received a threatening letter from Blackwell on the matter.

“It was an implied threat,” he said, to which, Rep. Millender-McDonald, replied, “Sir, threats are not implied. They are made.”

I never did like that punk.

season!

BuhwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Here's the quote from the FreePress article linked at:

http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2005/1208

“While much has been written by the conspiracy theorists, I would like to point out that there has only been one complaint filed by the HAVA process,” Blackwell said.

This is the first I've heard of a HAVA complaint process. (Guess that proves I haven't read the Act, doesn't it?). Anyone know what that process is?

Thanks.

The Rant

Frankly, my dear, I do give a damn

"What," a reader wanted to know, "turned you into such a Bush-hater?"

Nothing.

I'm not a Bush-hater. I don't know the man well enough to hate him. Hate is a personal emotion. I don't get personal.

I'm angry at the Republican partisans who follow this madman blindly because they put allegiance to party above love of country. Republicans have padded their numbers with the ignorant, the racist and the bigoted because their basic policies appeal to such biases

I'm angry that this country has become a bitter, partisan nation where patriotism is a political ploy, where dissent is attacked as anti-patriotic and the sacrifice of American soldiers becomes part of a party agenda.
