Blackwell says media would have reported any election

problems

".... federal judge in Ohio yesterday rejected the bid by Cobb and Badnarik to force the state to expedite its ongoing initial vote count. The pair had complained that the current schedule would not allow enough time for the state to conduct a recount before Ohio's electors gather Dec. 13 to cast their electoral votes for president -- rendering any recount largely meaningless. Cobb spokesman Blair Bobier called the court's decision "disappointing" and said the campaign is considering an appeal."

"A spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell dismissed the candidates' allegations. "We did not experience any significant irregularities," Carlo LoParo said. "Half of the world's media was in Ohio monitoring the election. I would think that if there were significant issues of election irregularities, you would have reported them the day after the election."

As a new member, I can't post new topics, but noticed a website which has a link to a Diebold/ES&S hosted cruise in which election officials are coached about how to deflect attention. BS. They were preparing for this from the get-go.

thread/topic of your own! Welcome to DU! :hi:


Edited for Freeptardian-type grammar

A couple weeks ago, I recall Skinner saying he raised the level quite high because of all the new freepers that were invading.

Paligal, try to create a post, but if that is not available, you may want to check with Skinner as to the "new post" requirements.

Blackwell, you truly are a piece of work...and a righteous tool...moron...

Kenneth Blackwell basically gave a challenge out to Keith at msn nbc. He also opened it up for the media to look into it. I might be wrong about that, but of course by saying that Ohio is the center of the world if any problems can be sent to the Keith along with this we can blast Blackwells own words back at him.

"Half of the world's media was in Ohio monitoring the election. I would think that if there were significant issues of election irregularities, you would have reported them the day after the election."

Bulls*it Blackwell.

Methinks those GOPers (and a couple of DINO-slugs) in Warren County, Ohio pulled off the fix of the millennium.

I would think that the irregularities would have been reported too, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN SH*T. There actually were thousands of irregularities reported, just not covered by the MSM. Someone please post contact info for Cobb and Badnarik in this thread. I am at work... no time... must go. I'm contacting them and WaHoPo and telling them what I think after work.

Kerry should be helping them with some of that "challenge" money I donated to him.

Keep fighting please, and if you arn't, please start.

And now we get losing Republican candidates itching for a recount. When it's convenient, voting irregularities are an outrage. Otherwise, what's the big deal.

State Rep. Talmadge Heflin will ask the state House of Representatives today to overturn the results of his failed re-election bid and either order him returned to the Legislature or call for a new election.

Heflin's attorney, Andy Taylor, said the election results in state House District 149 in southwest Harris County were fraught with voting irregularities and potential fraud, most of which occurred in predominantly Democ
ratic precincts.

:grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr:


Why are most people just letting this happen?

Why are most Democrats just letting this happen?

Why is Kerry just letting this happen?

NO SIGNIFICANT IRREGULARITIES!?!?

WHAT WERE ALL THOSE HEARINGS ABOUT?

WHY WERE THERE SUCH LONG LINES IN DEM HEAVY PRECINTS?

WHAT ABOUT THE LOCK DOWN?

WHAT ABOUT CUYOGA?

IS THE GAO IS WEARING A TIN FOIL HAT!?

ok...trying to take a deep breath.

concerted effort to defraud the public. What's more, he's now opened the door to revealing the lock-down.

by residents of Ohio, and Blackwell believes there were no significant regularities? I REALLY THINK THIS GUY IS INSANE. for real. i think he needs some kind of psychological therapy.
