Election Day came off with surprising smoothness - OH Election Official
November 4, 2004

By Erica Solvig
Enquirer staff writer

As the nation awaited Ohio's presidential returns, Warren County elections officials were still waiting for the last ballots to be delivered from Maineville early Wednesday morning.

They didn't arrive at the county administration building until almost 1 a.m. The delay kept candidates and residents up until 2 a.m. to learn final, unofficial results.

"After all of the battles that went on ahead of time, Election Day came off with surprising smoothness," Hamilton County elections board chairman Tim Burke said.

On election night, the Warren County Commissioners ordered a complete security lockdown at the County Administration Building, citing a homeland security threat and this bozo thinks everything went surprisingly smooth? I suppose if you think rigging the vote went smoothly, the night was a huge success?

2. It went so smooth nobody noticed that we cheated
I find it very funny that around 10PM pacific time the networks were doing their general summary of the day and all agreed that all in all, everything went fine.

What do they base their reasoning on? If 50% of the machines broke would that constitute a bad day? I mean, where do you draw the line.

It is so transperant how the media trys to weave their web of deception to please our dictator.

Jesse Jackson is at it again. The master of eloquent
mendacity recently
picked up a bundle of misunderstandings, fiction and bunk
and compared
Ohio's election on Nov. 2 to that of Ukraine's. Jackson
doesn't bother with
facts when half-baked suppositions better fit his partisan
agenda.

If Jackson was not aiming to delegitimize a democratic
process, I'd suggest
laughing off the charges. But his are serious. As a former
United States
ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission
and a two-term
Ohio secretary of state, I will substitute facts for some
of the wild
speculation Jackson traffics in.
