Anyone know what happened in Columbus tonight
at the Franklin County Election Hearing by the BOE? I think it was scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Have the results been posted?

6. Posted in Greens' Update:
Franklin County Board of Elections

At long last, the Franklin County Board of Elections held a hearing on December 16 to receive testimony from voters about their experiences on Election Day. Amy Kaplan, our Franklin County Recount Coordinator, challenged the Board for not taking advantage of the recount process to restore her faith in the integrity of the system. She went through a long list of requests that she and the Cobb campaign had made in order to have a meaningful recount, especially regarding the DRE machines. All such requests were denied.

Another speaker asked where the Board had been during the four hearings the voters had organized the week of November 13 through 21. Many speakers had acted as observers during the recount as Cobb witnesses. Hearing their stories of four, eight, and even ten hour lines in the rain reminded us once again why we had to challenge this unfair voting process.

7. I took some video -- LINK
I posted it at:

http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=opensource_movies&collectionid=votesuppression

It's about 70 minutes long. The format was voters coming forward and giving their testimony to the board, who for the most part just passively listened. Some rousing, fire-breathing testimony in some cases I'd say.
