Blackwell Locks Out Recount Volunteers (Ohio)

[freepotter]

"On Friday December 10 two certified volunteers for the
Ohio Recount team assigned to Greene County were in process
recording voting information from minority precincts in Greene
County, and were stopped mid-count by a surprise order from
Secretary of State Blackwell’s office. The Director Board of
Elections stated that “all voter records for the state of Ohio
were “locked-down,” and now they are not considered public
records.”"
(snip)
"Quinn and Roberson asked specifically for the legal
authority authorizing Mr. Blackwell to “lock down” public
records. Garman stated that it was the Secretary of State’s
decision. Ohio statute requires the Directors of Boards of
Election to comply with public requests for inspection and
copying of public election records. As the volunteer team
continued recording information from the precinct records in
question, Garman entered the room and stated she was
withdrawing permission to inspect or copy any voting records
at the Board of Elections. Garman then physically removed the
precinct book from Ms. Roberson’s hands. They later requested
the records again from Garman’s office, which was again
denied." 
(snip)
"Ohio Revised Code Title XXXV Elections, Sec. 3503.26
that requires all election records to be made available for
public inspection and copying. ORC Sec. 3599.161 makes it a
crime for any employee of the Board of Elections to knowingly
prevent or prohibit any person from inspecting the public
records filed in the office of the Board of Elections.
Finally, ORC Sec. 3599.42 clearly states: “A violation of any
provision of Title XXXV (35) of the Revised Code constitutes a
prima facie case of election fraud within the purview of such
Title.”"

If the electors from Ohio are certified for the Electoral
College on Monday there should be a general strike and
uprising in Ohio.  Although this news is from a blogsite, the
attorney writing the release is legit.  As Mr. Beckerman
notes, this is prima facie evidence of voter fraud.:nuke:

1. OK fu*k this sh*t

Time to light the lanterns paul revere, one if by land. This is so blatant I'm now sure that anyone in authority has been bought. Public record all of the sudden becomes private just on a man's word and absolutely nothing will be done about it. The FBI should be taking blackwell away on charges of treason against our country and our right to vote.

2. how do we remove him

Blackwell has been nothing short of a pain in the ass since the process was challenged.

Is there anyway to remove him?

Petitions to sign for his resignation? Removal from the proceedings.

The more he slams against the system, the more I believe he is indeed trying to hide something

3. Is their any word on what happened since yesterday?

It seems like some lawyers would have responded by now. Any other info????

[leesa]

4. What, do you suppose, he's afraid of? He must have been sloppy covering

up the trail of voter manipulations.

7. Time to form the citizen posse and arrest this criminal!!!

I posted in the Ohio forum asking someone in Ohio to form a posse. Seems ludicrous and radical but in reality there is no goverment application of law so thge citizens MUST take the law into their own hands. Let Blackwell do a perp walk and if he happens to bump his head a few times in a fall so be it! F**king criminal douchebag!

[hippiechick]

8. Ok, this POS is SO in violation of every tenet of his office

... that there should be a mob with torches and pitchforks at his front door.

:mad:


:hippie:

9. This just screams corruption

really. Pulling this kind of illegal action should trigger an automatic investigation, IMO.

[goforit]

10. Volunteers need to call State police to arrest them for breaking the law!!

They have to fight!!!

Arming the Left: Is the time now? --by Charles Southwell "As long as we pose no REAL threat to the powers-that-be, to what is shaping up into a dictatorship, we will continue to be ignored. Right now, we are ignored because we present no organized power to fight this onslaught of anti-democratic, totalitarian government that we are up against..."

[BlueMan]

16. Interesting to see

If and when someone outside of a blog covers this.

"What are you worried about, Mr. Blackwell?"

Repeatedly told the math doesn't favor Kerry, then let the math do the work...

[leftchick]

19. if you have not noticed...

17. Election fraud on the face of it, as cited by Ohio law...

Ohio Revised Code Title XXXV Elections, Sec. 3503.26 that requires all election records to be made available for public inspection and copying. ORC Sec. 3599.161 makes it a crime for any employee of the Board of Elections to knowingly prevent or prohibit any person from inspecting the public records filed in the office of the Board of Elections. Finally, ORC Sec. 3599.42 clearly states: “A violation of any provision of Title XXXV (35) of the Revised Code constitutes a prima facie case of election fraud within the purview of such Title.”

Did the voluteers call the cops right then and there to file a complaint? One is a retired attny, the other an election official.

[frictionlessO]

18. can someone please SCREAM, when theres verification or any

other media carrying this???

[7th_Sephiroth]

20. do i go to the FBI or Homeland's website to

make a treason complaint?

[Occulus]

21. Bombard your local media with this

He's directly violating Ohio law and violating it in a way that the same law specifically mentions is evidence of election fraud.

Call everyone. This is open violation of Ohio state law.
