Delay sought in Ohio electoral vote
Monday, December 13, 2004 Posted: 1:01 PM EST (1801 GMT)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Dissident groups asked the Ohio Supreme Court on Monday to review the outcome of the state's presidential race, hours before the Ohio delegation to the Electoral College was to cast ballots for president and vice president.

The groups question whether President Bush won the key swing state by 119,000 votes, guaranteeing his victory over Democrat John Kerry.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and attorney Cliff Arnebeck of the Massachusetts-based Alliance for Democracy accused President Bush's campaign of "high-tech vote stealing."

Jackson said the challengers noticed Bush generally received more votes in counties that use optical-scan voting machines and questioned whether the machines were calibrated to record votes for Bush.

The dissidents claim there were disparities in vote totals for Democrats, too few voting machines in Democrat-leaning precincts, organized campaigns directing voters to the wrong polling place and confusion over the counting of provisional ballots by voters whose names did not appear in the records at polling places.

2. Dissidents?

LOL. We haven't been branded that way since the 70's! We must be making progress after all. Can we still be commie-sympathizers to?

"""The dissidents claim there were disparities in vote totals for Democrats, too few voting machines in Democrat-leaning precincts, organized campaigns directing voters to the wrong polling place and confusion over the counting of provisional ballots by voters whose names did not appear in the records at polling places.""""

And we all know you can't trust what those commie-luving, pinko, socialist, values-hating, dissidents say! I'd read the whole article but I try not to click on CNN links before dinner. Bad for the digestion.

3. Dissidents!

How Stalinist!

4. The big lie assumes they are the majority - as Diebold made it so

It's what the word is meant to mean.

[idiosyncratic]

5. I have written to CNN, ABC, MSNBC, and CBS

telling them the word is wrong. I asked, in one of the letters, if they got it from Karl Rove, since all of them are using the same term.

SHEESH!! Don't they use a thesaurus. Do they all have to parrot the same term.

Patriotic Americans who want to make sure every vote is counted should not be called "dissidents." I don't think we should allow this to stand.

6. The C-Span editor will not discuss not sending a crew to Conyers

hearing today.

(Most Cable carry only C-Span, not C-Span2, and I understand they may put at least part of the hearing on C-Span2)

I think Bush has ordered a National Media shutdown!

I must remember that they hate us for our freedoms.
