I. Counting Irregularities

A. Warren County Lockdown – On election night, Warren County locked down its administration building and barred reporters from observing the counting. When that decision was questioned, County officials claimed they were responding to a terrorist threat that ranked a “10" on a scale of 1 to 10, and that this information was received from an FBI agent. Despite repeated requests, County officials have declined to name that agent, however, and the FBI has stated that they had no information about a terror threat in Warren County. Your office has stated that it does not know of any other county that took these drastic measures.

In addition to these contradictions, Warren County officials have given conflicting accounts of when the decision was made to lock down the building. While the County Commissioner has stated that the decision to lockdown the building was made during an October 28 closed-door meeting, emailed memos – dated October 25 and 26 – indicate that preparations for the lockdown were already underway.

This lockdown must be viewed in the context of the aberrational results in Warren County. In the 2000 Presidential election, the Democratic Presidential candidate, Al Gore, stopped running television commercials and pulled resources out of Ohio weeks before the election. He won 28% of the vote in Warren County. In 2004, the Democratic Presidential candidate, John Kerry, fiercely contested Ohio and independent groups put considerable resources into getting out the Democratic vote. Moreover, unlike in 2000, independent candidate Ralph Nader was not on the Ohio ballot in 2004. Yet, the tallies reflect John Kerry receiving exactly the same percentage in Warren County as Gore received, 28%.

We hope you agree that transparent election procedures are vital to public confidence in electoral results. Moreover, such aberrant procedures only create suspicion and doubt that the counting of votes was manipulated. As part of your decision to certify the election, we hope you have investigated these concerns and found them without merit. To assist us in reaching a similar conclusion, we ask the following:

1. Have you, in fact, conducted an investigation of the lockdown? What procedures have you or would you recommend be put into place to avoid a recurrence of this situation?

2. Have you ascertained whether County officials were advised of terrorist activity by an FBI agent and, if so, the identity of that agent?

3. If County officials were not advised of terrorist activity by an FBI agent, have you inquired as to why they misrepresented this fact? If the lockdown was not as a response to a terrorist threat, why did it take place? Did any manipulation of vote tallies occur?

1. A US Congressional Investigation with THIS Congress would get to the

bottom of nothing.

Fox, here's the hen house...

We need international observers and investigators. The various governmental entities charged with running elections now have track records of dismal failure.

3. This bigotry is beginning to be really annoying.

Not every politician with the tag (R) is evil and amoral.

There are men and women with integrity who love this country every bit as much as we do on the other side of the aisle.

Edited to add women to the other side. I forget that all women are not Dems.

5. it's paired with the anti-south bigotry

and it's very tiresome

[havocmom]

6. What bigotry? I do not trust the US Congress, period!

I do not trust my DEM senator, cuz he caves in too much and doesn't reply to constituents in a way even remotely relevant to what they write him about. He is way far gone and I do not trust him anymore.

Oh, and I live so far north, Canada is closer than Colorado, so when I complain about THIS Congress, I am not picking on Southerners, I am bitching about MOST of the whole bloody Congress. Last I looked, us Northern folk had Congress Critters too. Congress does not = Southern! Where, prey tell is there any bigotry against Republicans and/or Southerners in that? There is bigotry against politicians who do not serve the Constitution, ya know, like the ones who voted for the Patriot Act.

I happen to be married to a Republican. There are still a lot of decent ones around. Go whine about somebody else's 'bigotry', you don't know enough about me to go there.

8. Sorry, havocmom.

I did make an assumption that you were referring the the Republican majority in Congress. Thanks for setting me straight.

I am glad to know that you don't subscribe to Repub-hate sentiment, rather a general distaste for politicians in general. I take it back!

Again, Sorry!

9. this is the same republican congress

that excludes dems out of votes, has closed door sessions like no other majority has ever done in the history of the united states, and you want me, a conservative in the panhandle of texas, to respect this. i wont. until our leaders all of them, start acting in a respectful manner to earn my respect only then will they get it. no, the republicans across the board have not been living in integrity. they are the ones that when they talked supressing votes, and intimidating voters and throwing away voter registerations, these republicans should have stood up, been the first to stand up to their own party and say i wont be a part of that. i am a man, ...or woman with integrity. i dont care if it is a democrat or republican or a third party, as a leader to all i represent, i am here to protect their vote

so until the republicans start acting in integrity, i wont give them that difinition

10. Very good points. There is a difference between 'bigotry' and

righteous indignation. Seems we forget that sometimes and then we get walked on.

When someone or some group acts like bellicose bullies, it is a good idea to stand up to them and hold your ground. Trying to be polite to those who do not reciprocate is pointless after a while. As my ol momma used to say, "While turning the other cheek, remember that you only have four of them!" ;)

I can't understand why paleocons put up with the Gingrich wing of the GOP. The neocons are not responsible fiscally nor do they support and defend the US Constitution. I know many paleocons and have had productive and polite disagreement and discourse with them over the decades. It galls me that those good people have had their party taken away from them. It galls them that my party has become so full of apologist who seem to have the medical condition of impaired backbone.

Hope I live to see a time when we can agree to disagree but still move together to do well by the nation. This era of having to consider the possibly of assignation when one of our champions dies is too much like ancient Rome to suit my tastes.

11. there is havocmom a difference

i too sit in an enviroment all repugs. all the people i love are repugs. i have spent 43 years with these people. i know them, have listened to their values and watched as they walked value. and what bothers me the most is them validating bushco behavior. they are against everything they are now standing up for. i just keep my mouth shut and shake my head. this is their lesson, and right now they arent listening, they are ignoring the core of who they are

in time. i say to self

but they dont get off the hook either, though i continue to love them and support them in life, they are not getting off the hook on this one

7. Exactly - another Warren/911 Commision if you will

How long is it going to take before people get sick of all thes coincedences that would never happen anywhere else except when the US goverment is involved. Magic bullets, invincible passports anyone?

2. And what about the Greene County lock down?

Saturday morning the lights were on and the doors unlocked. There was no one inside the office. Cops came and left. Locksmith came, made set of keys and left. ??????????????

For an office that was locked down, they seemed to have been pretty well unlocked. Anyone for a spare computer or two?

4. Oh, it's the complete text of Conyers' letter to Blackwell!

Hadn't seen that before -- Good stuff, thanks!

If you edit your post and change the title I bet more people will realize what you are talking about.
