    In the Ukraine, citizens are in the streets protesting what they charge is a fixed election. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell expresses this nation’s concern about apparent voting irregularities. The media give the dispute around-the-clock coverage. But in the United States, massive and systemic voter irregularities go unreported and unnoticed.
    Ohio is this election year’s Florida. The vote in Ohio decided the presidential race, but it was marred by (…)

    WASHINGTON (SH) - Something went seriously wrong in Ohio on Election Day.
    On Nov. 13 and 15, hearings conducted by the Ohio Election Protection Coalition in Columbus featured oral and written testimony from a number of voters, poll workers, precinct judges and legal observers.
    The testimony confirmed numerous complaints tracked by election-watchdog organizations and investigative journalists since Nov. 2. Those who testified told stories of the obstruction and disqualification of (…)

    Recounts Filed in New Mexico and Nevada
    With your help, we are standing up for the right to vote, and the right for votes to be counted. David Cobb of the Green Party and Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party have filed for a recount of the presidential ballots cast in Ohio, New Mexico, and Nevada, and have filed a lawsuit in Ohio to make sure there is sufficient time to recount every ballot. The initial Ohio recount filing fees and expenses were paid with the help of thousands of (…)

    Ohio tally fit for Ukraine by Juan Gonzalez (of Democracy Now) http://www.nydailynews.com/...
    Voter fraud in the Ukraine? Give me a break.
    It has been a month now and we still don’t have a clear count of the votes for our own presidential race from the state of Ohio.
    For those who may have forgotten, Ohio supposedly assured George W. Bush a second term in the White House - only the most important job on the planet.
    The morning after the election, we were told Bush was ahead of John (…)

    Open Letter to the Chief of VOTE Land Security, whoever you are:
    VOTES have more privacy than VOTERS do. On average, a U.S. citizen is on video survellience camera by 800 cameras a day while our VOTES are able to elude detection with Casper stealth technology, courtesy of Diebold, ESS, and Sequoia. Airport handlers pat down for "breast bombs" while our VOTES can go anywhere they want unfettered. Oh, to be a VOTE!
    The nation turns its lonely eyes to you the Chief of VOTE Land Security, (…)

  • John Kerry: Pull Us from the Water

    John Kerry: Remember reaching in the water and pulling your comrade into the swift boat? America is in the water. Reach in. Our hand is up and we are sinking. Bullets are flying, piercing the waves around us. Please publicly support recounts in Ohio and Florida. Every criticism of the Ukrainian election is valid in Ohio. 1) 13 hour waits to vote in Columbus? To vote for YOU. Machine distribution needs to be fair. The facts are in. 2) Media locked out of Warren County and now their (…)

    The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Ohioans should not stand for the way elections were run in Ohio Nov. 2, and he planned to bring his message directly to Cincinnati today.
    Jackson was expected to speak at a rally this morning at Integrity Hall in Bond Hill, calling for an investigation of the voting process in Ohio. He said the rally this morning and one Sunday night in Columbus were to serve as "a kind of statewide sharing of experiences" that would mobilize citizens and result in "collective (…)

  • Re-Vote, Not Recount, in Ohio

    It appears there will be a recount in Ohio. However, a recount probably won’t do much good in three counties that have suspicious numbers — Franklin, Mahoning, and Warren. I’ll deal with Franklin and Mahoning first, then Warren later. Here are some simple facts about the election in Ohio:
    1. Ohio has 88 counties. The three largest counties that went strongly for Kerry are Cuyahoga (which contains Cleveland), Franklin (which contains Columbus — the state capital), and (…)

  • Kerry Supports Ohio Vote Investigation, Jackson says

    by Steven Rosenfeld
    John Kerry supports a “full investigation” into voting irregularities in Ohio, Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday, during a teleconference with media regarding a recount and legal challenge of the Nov. 2 vote.
    “John Kerry supports a full investigation,” Jackson said. He recently spoke with the Democratic presidential nominee and reported that Kerry said he conceded the race on the morning after Election Day because “originally, he was inclined to believe what he was (…)

    With their websites and stickers, their pranks and slogans aimed at banishing widespread fear of a corrupt regime, the democracy guerrillas of the Ukrainian Pora youth movement have already notched up a famous victory - whatever the outcome of the dangerous stand-off in Kiev.
    Ukraine, traditionally passive in its politics, has been mobilised by the young democracy activists and will never be the same again.
    But while the gains of the orange-bedecked "chestnut revolution" (…)
