Ohio’s 2004 presidential vote will be challenged as soon as next week in the state Supreme Court, a coalition of public-interest lawyers announced Friday.

The lawyers have taken sworn testimony from hundreds of people in hearings in Columbus and Cincinnati, and will use excerpts as well as documents obtained from county election officials and Election Day exit polls to make a case that thousands of votes were incorrectly counted or not counted on Election Day.

“The objective is to get to the truth,” said Columbus Ohio lawyer Cliff Arnebeck, coordinator of the Ohio Honest Elections Campaign. “What’s critically important, whether it’s President Bush or Sen. Kerry, whoever’s been elected actually elected, is to know you won by an honest election. So it’s in the interest of both sides as American citizens to know the truth and have this answered.”

Liberal piece of shit. Time is short. You fuckers lost. Fantastic. Get over it.

What is inspiring people throughout the United States to consider emigrating to places like Canada and Sweden is the fact that more Americans than not support what Bush is doing throughout the world, and to people and their rights right here at home. We are totally disheartened not because Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their fellow travelers have gotten away with their crimes. We are depressed because, in the eyes of a majority of Americans, no crime has been committed.

We are not expatriating ourselves because George W. Bush is the President of the United States, but because, for all intents and purposes, George W. Bush is the people of the United States, and they are he in their essential radicalism and lack of character. We do not, in other words, view the Bush Administration as the political version of Frankenstein. We see it as Night of the Living Dead. There are millions of Bushes abroad in the land tonight.  

I voted for Peroutka. I didn't want either one of the creeps. But how is it that you just don't understand that the "two-party system" is a joke on you and the rest of us?

Don't you get it? Both candidates are members of the Brotherhood of Death. Both do the bidding of their shadow handlers. We are not represented by those we elect. It's the super-rich globalists who run everything. And they don't care what we little insects do to each other. It only matters that we keep toiling and paying our taxes, buying their crap and watching their movies and TV garbage, listening to their crummy "music". As Americans are weakened and our economy is lowered to bring us closer to that of the third world countries our "duly elected" representatives take our money and enrich themselves. Don't you believe Carroll Quigley's writings?

Ohio attorney and prisoner-rights activist Alice Lynd was held in contempt of court and sentenced to jail to Friday until she agrees to testify about an inmate's purported confession to her that he killed an inmate during the Lucasville prison riot in 1993.

In an emotional hearing before Scioto County Common Pleas Judge William T. Marshall in Portsmouth, Ohio, Lynd, 74, refused to testify about what an inmate she referred to only as "Mr. X" told her about the murder because it would violate attorney-client privilege.

Prosecutors argued that Lynd was not the inmate's attorney and that attorney-client privilege did not apply. Judge Marshall agreed, and sentenced Lynd to jail. He offered to stay the sentence while Lynd's attorney sought a stay from the appeals court if she agreed to testify if the appeals court upheld his ruling. Lynd said she could not, in good conscience, testify about what "Mr. X" told her without his permission under any circumstances.

Hi

Thank you for the 11/18/04 article "Hearings on Ohio Voting Put 2004 Election in Doubt." We need all citizens aware and involved in this issue - if we do not put a stop to voter intimidation, black box voting and scanners, we'll never have a legitimate election again. I am so very afraid where the nation is headed - does democracy still exist??

Sincerely,

Dear Editor:

I am a "rinky-dinky non-credible person" from Utah, barely even a bug. Nobody believes me because I am a sky-blue petunia in an onion patch of rabid Republicans. I committed the unpardonable sin in my neck of the woods and I voted for John Kerry. However, I'm glad that I did.

Once upon a time I was a Republican and I was ready to leap off any high-rise building for my cause -- a Right-wingy-dingy fundamentalist world. I even almost started hating the very place that brought my family together in the first place -- Yellowstone National Park. I, as an at the time only child, was raised for nearly a month on the ground in Yellowstone by two protective parents, but that's another story for another time.

Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman are just a pair of CON MEN.  

For their information in every state of the Union were delays, faulty machines, arrogant  poll people, etc.  

I am myself part of the minority, Hispanic/Conservative in NYC and have never complain about my lot..Why? Because I am able to realize that we all live in an imperfect world, full of imperfect human beings, that life is not fair and yet we all want "fair treatment" for everything not realizing that THAT is only a WISH.  

So, please Bob and Harvey stop crying like babies, feeling sorry for all those that did not make a real effort to vote even if it were going to take them 6 to 12 hours to cast their vote.

Stop feeling sorry for those that had an exam the next day or had to go to work or had to take his or her child to school, etc..Those are only BIG EXCUSES that the minorities always find while trying to convince the others that they were being disenfranchised or discriminated against!!What a joke!!  

Yours,
  Luis D. Rey

Dear Dr. Fitrakis,

I just want to say that until a week ago I had never heard of you. Since then I've been reading many of your articles and posting them on my website, which is devoted to the voter fraud issue.

Thank you for your great work. I really admire you and your obvious devotion to finding the truth and writing about it. You are a shining light in a sea of sewage we call "the media."

My website is here if you want to have a look:

I don't have to tell you, the battle we are in right now is the most important one of our lives. To me it's all about the truth. I just want to know the truth, whatever it is.

Peace,
Gary Beckwith
