Conyers: "Maintenance" violates state and federal laws (Keith Olbermann)


SECAUCUS— Congressman John Conyers' request that the FBI investigates the actions of a voting equipment manufacturer in Hocking County, Ohio last week, includes the assertion that those actions may have violated two federal laws, and as many as four state statutes.

Conyers, who will appear live on tonight's edition of "Countdown," notes in his letter to the FBI (and the Hocking County Prosecutor), that "for a period of 22 months from the date of a federal election... it (is) a felony for any person to 'willfully steal, destroy, conceal, mutilate, or alter' any such record."

The Michigan representative also wrote that under Ohio law, "during a period of official canvassing, all interaction with ballots must be 'in the presence of all of the members of the board and any other persons who are entitled to witness the official canvass'." Conyers notes that just last week, Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell had declared that the so-called "canvassing period," which usually expires ten days after an election, had been extended to cover the period of the Ohio recount.

Conyers' office indicated there had not yet been a response from the FBI field office in Cincinnati, nor from the Hocking County Prosecutor's Office.

14. Go John Go! Our salvation seems to lie in the Black Caucus. n/t

[G_j]

28. they could have saved us before also (2000)

too bad they were left dangling in the wind..

[jamboi]

46. They tried. n/t

[Generator]

2. Cool those two are still on my respectable list

Oh yeah and Maxine Waters. And Jesse Jackson sr and jr. And Will Pitt. My list is very very short.

Thanks! Won't miss it.

[Kralizec]

3. Thanks for the heads-up! n/t

[cyberpj]

21. Ur welcome (to kick)

:kick:

[eomer]

4. Allright, here we go now! n/t

[Verve]

5. Yahoo!! n/t

[Miami Liberal]

6. Yipeeeee!

And no KO thread is complete without :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

34. Hi

I've been trying to figure your Avatar out... Is it Hole or Luscious Jackson or neither? And Hello Miami from Miami...

[Miami Liberal]

35. Hello there

It's the Dixie Chicks, gotta love Natalie Maines. Isn't the weather splendid? It's such a nice break from the constant heat. :-)

[Patsy Stone]

38. Yes! The weather is beautiful!

It looked like Melissa Auf Der Maur with Courtney behind her! I do love Natalie Maines, and her hottie hubby too! Thanks for the info.

[Sparkle]

7. I love Conyers and really appreciate his service,

I just wish he didn't talk so darn slow. When he was on today with Amy Goodman, I really noticed that. It also didn't help that she seemed to be rushing thru the interview.

[McCamy Taylor]

8. oooo, Blackwell is a good capitalist, sold his own rope

[keepthemhonest]

9. thanks

will try to tune in. KO usually seems to put the stuff that interests us at toward the end of the show.

[cyberpj]

10. Election stuff usually appears around mid-show

on average, of all I've watched --and that's ALL of them.

Perhaps as things heat up it will move higher in importance of coverage. Hell - if they can give 15-20 minutes to Peterson, they can give as long to our right to vote!

[seito]

11. This is GREAT News

Thanks.

No Retreat No Surrender

[texpatriot2004]

12. Yeah, give 'em enough rope and they do it every time n/t

I like how the specific laws are listed here, don't you?

[Darknyte7]

13. Hell yeah! Hell yeah!!

:bounce:

[Broken Acorn]

15. Keith is a true American and needs to be thanked again

And Conyers is looking to put the smack down on Blackwell and the Rethuglican Vote Stealing Party!

I am very excited about tonight :)

[Patsy Stone]

Dupe n/t

[Patsy Stone]

27. I can't thank him anymore

I've put myself on a KO e-mail moratorium. It's a hard habit to break, but I have to. Soon, the e-mails are going to come back refused due to over e-mailing. :)

So I'll just post my thanks here.

[Jo March]

48. We should start a "thankyoukeitholbermann.com" site!

That way we can post our love and appreciation!

[Patsy Stone]

49. Good idea.

I was going to start a page for him anyway, I just thought it was waaaay too girlie! Maybe if I took the high road instead? :)

[Jo March]

52. Oh, Patsy, love, it's not too girly

to show our intense LOVE and appreciation for the Keith.

I have loved him since his days on ESPN. Sigh....he is ever so dreamy and ever so intelligent....

:loveya:

[intelle]

16. Thanks, cyberpj!

That will definitely be worth watching. Interesting that the FBI and the Hocking County Prosecutor haven't yet responded. Wish I could be a fly on the wall of one of their offices!

[AmerDem]

17. Thanks for the info

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

18. On a totally different note...

KO's just so wonderful... :)

[GetTheRightVote]

20. I can not wait to hear How Rep Conyers does on Countdown w/KO

I send off emails to KO all the time, love his on going coverage of the election fraud and all members involved in it. Way to Go Keith.

[Griffy]

22. NO WAY.. Ill be on the edge of my seat!! nt

[catcatcat]

[MelissaB]

24. Hottttt D*mn!!!!!

This man is on a roll!!

[jsascj]

25. EXCELLENT

Thanks for the info!

[althecat]

29. I hope Wonk or someone is capturing the video for us out of country folk

[Clark2008]

30. I CANNOT WAIT to see this episode

In fact, why don't we drive Keith's ratings through the roof tonight.

E-mail all your friends and tell them to watch this. I think it will be enlightening to them and a record-breaker for KO and MSNBC and will prove to the nattering ninnies in the MSM that we DO want to hear about this issue.

Deal?

[bunny planet]

32. Ooooh I love it, Conyers is going to be sweatin' Blackwell tonight!!!!!

[jamboi]

47. He didn't go after Blackwell too much. Just pointed out that he was also

the co chair of the *'s campaign.

[bunny planet]

50. I know. Conyers is a gentleman. I guess I shouldn't have expected it.

He talks slowly, and had to get alot covered, didn't have time to go after Katherine Blackwell in the way he deserves. Sigh. Hopefully someone will.

[VTGold]

33. woohooo! n/t

[ailsagirl]

37. Please update those of us who dumped our cable!!

[Farmgirl]
