Election Reform
In reply to the discussion: So, What Are the Facts that 'Prove' Ohio '04 was a Rigged Election? [View all]Botany
(72,504 posts)From 2000 to 2004 the # of votes in the national Presidential election
increased by 19 million for bush to have won he would have had to
have gotten 16.5 million or 86% of all of the first time voters to vote
for him and not a single one of his 2000 voters could have died, not voted,
or voted for Kerry ..... in Ohio alone the new voters were something
like 325,000 new registrations for democrats and 35,000 new republican
voters.
The Connelly anomaly is stark too .... Connelly was a black woman who
was pro choice, pro gay rights, liberal, and without much money* but in
a # of counties in south and western Ohio she got more votes than John
Kerry who was on the top of the ticket ..... these Connelly votes are "footprints"
of vote switches.
In Warren County she got 28,000 votes and John Kerry got only 26,000 votes
that shows a 4,000 vote swing from Kerry to bush ..... because why would people
turn out and vote for a down ticket liberal black women after voting for W?

It is easier if you print out the returns and look @ them side by side. Clermont County
shows a 10,000 vote swing to W..
Also the fact that the Sec. of State, Ken Blackwell, hired Michael Connell who came in to the
Sec. of State's office on election day and sent the I.T. people home @ 8:00 PM and then shipped
the Ohio vote data to a computer server in Chattanooga, TN ..... smartech .... which was
also the server used by the RNC, GWB 43, and as Karl Rove's off the record computer is pretty
damning. In Dec. of 2008 Michael Connell's small plane crashed killing him.
The media all know about these cases but has refused to say anything. I worked for the Kerry
campaign and I saw and heard things in person that proved to me that the "fix was in." National
Democratic leaders such as Harry Reid have thanked John Kerry for not making an "issue" about
Ohio 2004.
