I give my heartfelt thanks to Coleen Christensen for producing the spreadsheets and to Roman Sasik for producing the tables of data that made it possible for me to write this report in a timely manner.
Three days ago I produced a report entitled “Uncounted Votes in Montgomery County.” These are ballots cast but not counted because they were regarded as “undervotes” and “overvotes,” or “blank” and “void,” as they are known in New York State. The true number of such votes can be easily determined by subtracting votes counted from total ballots cast.
I was shocked to learn of 47 precincts in Montgomery County where the percentage of uncounted ballots is 4.0% or more, and that every single one of those precincts was won by John Kerry, nearly all of them by overwhelming margins, 7 to 1 in the aggregate.
I resolved to apply the same analytical technique to other Ohio counties, beginning with Hamilton County.

I give my heartfelt thanks to Roman Sasik for producing, from a poor facsimile, the tables of data that made it possible for me to write this report in a timely manner.
This is the fifth in a series of reports on uncounted votes in urban counties of Ohio. These are ballots cast but not counted because they were regarded as “undervotes” and “overvotes,” or “blank” and “void,” as they are known in New York State. The true number of such votes can be easily determined by subtracting votes counted from total ballots cast.
Shortly after the election I obtained from the website of the Ohio Secretary of State the data I needed to make a statewide compilation on a county by county basis of the uncounted votes, exclusive of provisional ballots. These data have since been taken down from said website. I present them here.

I give my heartfelt thanks to Joe Knapp for his Cuyahoga County spreadsheet, to Bernard Windham for forwarding it to me, and to Roman Sasik for compiling the table of precincts according to my instructions.
Provisional ballots are issued to persons who show up at the polls on Election Day but find that, for whatever reason, their names are not on the voter rolls, or find their right to vote challenged by a member of the opposing party. They are asked to provide certain information when casting their provisional ballots, and this information can be checked afterward to determine if they were eligible to vote. If so, then their votes are to be counted.

Pre-punched ballots; touch-screen vote switching; more absentee votes than absentee voters; unfair provisional voter deletions; change of voting sites on Election Day; voter suppression; voter intimidation; double voting; malfunctioning machines; recalibrated machines; evidently rigged machines; and even 25 million negative votes registered in some races in Mahoning County!
In a 1992 CNN interview with Larry King on "Reagan, the Pope, Solidarity
and the Fall of Communism," Time Magazine's Carl Bernstein made a stunning
assertion: the Vatican had offered to help buttress Poland's ailing
pro-Western Solidarity Party and prop up Lech Walesa's torpid presidency in
exchange for a stiffening of conservative values and the establishment of
the Christian Right as a viable political force in the U.S.
Investigations by this writer a year earlier into state-sponsored massacres of Guatemalan and Honduran street children, hinted that a political "fifth column" had indeed taken root in the U.S. and simultaneously sprouted in Central America where U.S. strategic interests continue to be guarded by U.S.-installed puppet regimes. Credible sources that spoke on condition of anonymity added convincing evidence to rumors that politicians, intelligence agencies, religious leaders, charitable organizations and multinational corporations were engaged in a hemispheric cabal aimed at harmonizing global evangelical interests with U.S. foreign policy objectives.

When I was a little boy in occupied France, I saw priests sprinkling
holy water on tanks, canons and other instruments of war so that Christians
of one nation -- now divinely empowered -- could slaughter Christians of
another nation. I never forgot the surreal spectacle. I owe it (and the
extermination of nine-tenths of my family in Hitler's gas chambers) a
healthy aloofness toward religion.
Sixty years later, as France, a nominally Catholic democratic republic readies to celebrate nearly 200 years of secularism marked by absolute separation of church and state, the U.S. the ostensible symbol of tolerance and egalitarianism, is unmistakably tilting toward theocratic governance.

Not only do we have an exit poll discrepancy, but it has an interesting statistical
pattern.
Only in the BLUE STATES:
There is a positive correlation between the amount of discrepancy and the amount of electoral votes.
There is a negative correlation betweeen the amount of discrepancy and the perentage of Kerry vote. The greater the Kerry margin, the lower the discrepancy.
I find this pattern more suspicious than the discrepancy. An even discrepancy would be easily explained away. This pattern is not!

Keep up the good work. Many of my links point your way.

NATURE OF THE ACTION On December 13, 2004, numerous Ohio citizens contested “the certification of the election of the electors pledged to George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney for the offices, respectively, of President of the United States and Vice President of the United Sates for the terms commencing January 20, 2005…” and “…the certification of the election of Thomas Moyer for the office of Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court for the term commencing in 2005.”
LAWSUIT REFILED On December 16, 2004, Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer threw out the complaint because it had two election challenges. The following day, on December 17, thirty-seven voters and their lawyers refiled the election challenge for President and Vice President of the United States. The other case for the office of Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court was refiled on December 20, 2004.

The other case for the office of Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court was refiled on December 20, 2004.
As previously reported both the cases to challenge the legitimacy of the Presidential election and Ohio Supreme Court Justice Thomas J. Moyers's re-election were filed separatedly in the Ohio Supreme Court. Yesterday, December 23, 2004 attorneys for Plaintiffs successfully filed Motion to disqualify Justice Moyer from sitting as the Judge on the Moss v. Bush matter based on the fact that he has an apparently conflict of interest in that the election challenge of the Presidency potentially affects his race (and the suits are effectively collateral actions) The Ohio Code of Judicial ethics, Canon 3 specifically requires that any judge with any financial interest in the outcome of litigation recuse him or herself or be disqualified. (Similar Codes of Judicial ethics exist for virtually every Judicial office.)
The efforts in Ohio are historic landmark legal efforts forging new legal ground. The team of attorneys on Moss v. Bush are working literally round the clock.
