Honest Voting

Whenever I want to raise my blood pressure – and really, who doesn’t need to feel their head pound on a regular basis? – I think about the several forms of election fraud committed in Ohio in 2004, and wonder why the perpetrators haven’t been brought to justice yet.

Fortunately, I’m not the only person wondering why the people responsible haven’t been tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.

Ray Beckerman has devoted an entire blog to documenting the ongoing efforts to run these criminals to ground. (Yes, I said criminals.) I recommend this page from his blog if you suffer from hypotension.  (Take care, by the way; the ‘visited’ links on the Evidence of Fraud page don’t seem to change color.)

Then there’s this one.  How the hell is this type of conflict of interest legal?

The Free Press on Election Day posted a disturbing
story, later confirmed by the Columbus Dispatch. The
Free Press reported that Franklin County Board of
Elections Director Matt Damschroder deliberately
withheld voting machines from predominantly black
Democratic wards in Columbus, and dispersed some of
the machines to affluent suburbs in Franklin County.

Damschroder is the former Executive Director of the
Franklin County Republican Party. Sources close to the
Board of Elections told the Free Press that
Damschroder and Ohio’s Secretary of State Kenneth
Blackwell met with President George W. Bush in
Columbus on Election Day.

But then I can’t understand how Katherine Harris was allowed to serve simultaneously as Florida’s secretary of state and Bush’s campaign co-chair in Florida either.  (Firewall, my ass.)

Thanks to Beckerman for dedicating his blog to helping these miscreants achieve jail time.
