Jesse Jackson writes article for the Guardian/UK on FRAUD
In Cleveland as in Kiev

Jesse Jackson
Wednesday December 8, 2004
The Guardian

"In the Ukraine, citizens are in the streets protesting what they charge is a fixed election. Secretary of State Colin Powell expresses this nation's concern about apparent voting irregularities. The media give the dispute around-the-clock coverage. But in the United States, massive and systemic voter irregularities go unreported and unnoticed.
Ohio is this election year's Florida. The vote in Ohio decided the presidential race, but it was marred by intolerable, and often partisan, irregularities and discrepancies. US citizens have as much reason as those in Kiev to be concerned that the fix was in.

Ohio determines the election. But because of mounting irregularities, the vote in this state was not certified until this Monday, 34 days after the election. People of conscience demand that a full and complete investigation of these irregularities is undertaken."

3. Jamboi! You're reading my mind!
I originally titled the article, GO JESSE GO! and then realized I wouldn't have enough space to write anything of substance in the subject area!

Weird!

5. Thanks this is great
I love this......it should be reason in itself to have a DO -OVER re-vote....

"Votes are counted in a secret electronic program created by a private corporation, Diebold Co, headed by a Bush partisan, under the supervision of a state election official who co-chairs the Bush campaign. There is no paper record, no way to audit the votes, no way to do a recount."

7. this is mainstream media
you can write letters to the guardian - see http://www.guardian.co.uk/feedback/
it would be good if they got some supportive letters from americans after all the shit they got over their clark county campaign (getting british people to write letters to people in clark county, ohio).
