Hello? Anyone else see fraud in Ohio's election???
On my sunny local newscast at 6 pm, the chirpy reporter told me how EASY it would be to register to vote in Ohio ... ON KEN BLACKWELL'S PERSONAL WEBSITE!!!! Now, if I register through the Secretary of State website ...

<<The secretary of state's Web site requires users to print the form, fill it out by hand and mail it in. Blackwell's campaign Web site allows users to simply fill in the form online before printing it and mailing it. >> Here's the rest of info on the story from Cleveland's WEWS webpage: http://www.newsnet5.com/politics/9407012/detail.html

Hmmmm, let's see I register as a Democrat on KEN BLACKWELL'S PERSONAL WEB SITE ... What do you think my chances are of actually being registered when I show up to vote in November????

The most pathetic part of this whole thing is that NO ONE (aside from the Dems who are being accused of "partisan politics") sees a problem with the candidate for GOVERNOR also running the election. Can we say conflict of interest? Apparently not.

So even if Kenny is down in the polls by double digits, it won't matter. He'll rule the election, just as he did in 2004.

:grr: :mad: :banghead:

1. you would think that something so blatant
would at least get a worthy look from the MSM, let alone Congress and the judicial system. It's like nobody cares about election fraud. Amazing.

2. hum....i wouldn't register on his website....
i'd try to get a college kid to crash it, not register to vote on it.

my daughter registered to vote at the library. (we're not in ohio--but maybe you could register somewhere with someone more trustworthy--like a librarian!)

3. Even More Massive Theft in Ohio 2005
Remember the election reform initiatives that were leading by over 30 points in the polls?
They "lost".

I am really afraid we are going to see a Rethug "Sweep" in Ohio.

Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 11:35 PM by JohnnyRingo
bipartisan panel:

2 Republicans
2 Democrats
and the chief Justice

It should have raised red flags when Blackwell and his band of thieves cried so loudly in horror of that thought. They didn't think that would be fair
Odd that the exit polls were so skewed.

His gubernatorial opponent, Ted Strickland, has asked that this fall's election be overseen by a Republican who isn't in a race. We hear that shriek of horror again as he flatly refused.

Does he have to wear a t-shirt that says: "I'm stealing my own election" to get the media to sit up and notice?

BTW...
He was here in Y'Town last week outlining his plan to fight poverty:
Cut taxes (for wealthy)
Stop liability suits
Stop gay marriage
Abstinence, not condoms

I'm serious, that is his plan to end poverty in Ohio.
A bigger laugh is the new Ohio Republican platform: "Party of Change"

Again...I'm serious.

6. Did Y'Town show him the door????
Wow--that sure was the message they needed to hear in the Mahoning Valley. :sarcasm:

Northeast Ohio needs jobs--better education--not tax cuts for the small group of very wealthy who don't give a damn if the rest of the state goes hungry.

I am SO happy to be protected from the evils of gay marriage. :sarcasm:

In terms of abstinence--how about Blackwell and the Repugs abstaining from election fraud--just for a change of pace?

Gee. Does it show that I'm frustrated?

5. Haven't you heard?
It's okay for Blackwell to run voter registrations on his site and run for governor while overseeing the election, cuz we can trust the Repugs.

:eyes:
