In yet another surreal twist in Ohio’s “coin-gate” scandal, the wife of Bush’s chief Ohio fundraiser, Tom Noe—who is currently embroiled in campaign finance and money laundering probes—surprised poll workers and observers alike by disrupting the ballot count during the 2004 general election, RAW STORY has discovered.

Bernadette Noe, who served dual roles as chairman for the Lucas County Republican Party and the Lucas County Board of Elections, sent twelve “partisans” into a warehouse on Election Day, according a memo authored by Ohio’s Director of Campaign Finance Richard Weghorst who was present at the time.

The assertion is part of a comprehensive investigation prepared for Ohio Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell regarding reports of irregularities in Lucas County. The report found gross failures on the part of Ms. Noe’s board in preparation for and administration of November’s election.

Reminiscent of an account reported on by RAW STORY regarding ballot tampering in Clermont County, Ohio, Ms. Noe was involved in an incident through which Republican volunteers were brought in to “assist” processing returned voter confirmation postcards. On her authority and that of several other board members, partisan volunteers were allowed to copy the returned cards. They were subsequently caught by a Lucas County Democratic official peeling the return stickers off the voter confirmation cards, and were told to leave. Weghorst’s inquiry found no evidence they had been supervised. The investigator's report was submitted in April 2005.

3. A HA! Please note: LUCAS COUNTY

SHE is the chair of LUCAS COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY? How coincidental! :tinfoilhat:

Now I want to know where she was on October 12th.....

HMMMM... Now you are telling me that the wife of the chief money launderer was the chair in LUCAS COUNTY? Now considering the dirty tricks her husband pulled... do you think it is fair to suspect she may be involved in the burglary of the Lucas County Democratic Party HQ???? I have no PROOF... but it seems very interesting to hear the chief thief's wife was involved in that very county...

Here's a link to the little known story of the supposed burglary in which only 2 computers with sensitive voter information were stolen... :tinfoilhat:
