Ohio Elections Officials Convicted of Tampering with 2004 Presidential Recount



by Steven Leser

A handful of us told you so at the time. Besides myself, Bob Fitzrakis, Bev Harris, Joan Brunwasser, Brad Blog's Brad Friedman, as well as the folks over at the Cobb campaign and the Green Party. Robert F Kennedy Jr. picked up on this in his 2006 article in Rolling Stone. Now, there is no doubt, something was rotten in the state of Ohio in 2004.

As stated in this January 24th article in the Associated Press, click here :

Two election workers in the state's most populous county were convicted Wednesday of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more thorough review of the votes...A third employee who had been charged was acquitted on all counts...Jacqueline Maiden, the elections' coordinator who was the board's third-highest ranking employee when she was indicted last March, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee...The felony conviction carries a possible sentence of six to 18 months.

Special prosecutor Kevin Baxter, who was brought in from Erie County to handle the case... said he intends to speak with Maiden and Dreamer before their scheduled sentencing on Feb. 26 to see if they wish to make any statements that might influence the sentence.

5. Kerry's response in 2004 was disappointing to say the least, and
I was a strong Kerry supporter. However, now that he has decided not to run in 2008, he could redeem himself by becoming a strong advocate for election reform. I doubt this will happen but you never know.
