I would love to hear. Have there been any reports from the Republican or Democrat election board members?
Are they really all OK with the way the election went?

Something about how ultimately the money comes from the state (ie blackwell et al.) to pay for the machines. I'm not sure about the validity of this statement...so, um...back to sqaure one I guess.

election - after he was suspended for 'making waves' about the lockdown.
At the Columbus, Ohio rally I thought one of the speakers said something about an entire Board of Elections in one county in Ohio resigning (probably a rumor because I haven't heard it anywhere else).
I don't think the BOE folks are going to object: It puts their job on the line. This is why the repetitive statements about each county having 2 Repubs and 2 Dems in the BOE so everything is fair and square is weak, at best. All are appointed by (serve at the pleasure of) the Ohio Secretary of State.
Also, IMO the vast majority of local elected officials are as honest as the day is long. If hackers or ballot box stuffers did a dirty deed they did it without the knowledge of (particularly) Dem board members. Thus, Dem board members feel attacked by 'outsiders' questionning their ability to run a clean election. Maybe when someone fingers a hacker who confesses then a Dem will step forward? I am hoping for a whistleblower, just not expecting one, since I don't think they realize what just happened.

These BOE folks need to realize that although it happened on their watch, it's the system that's at fault -- not them, although technically, it's their responsibility. The real issue is that they don't have experience with the technology and they are dependent on the techs to make things work. They should all be in favor of verified voting because it's the only way they can tell if these companies who they've turned the election over to are doing their jobs. They need to see this movement, if it is a movement, as their friend. If not I say SUE THE BASTARDS! (Whoops, sorry.)

7. I think we should enlist them to help us. |
|
We have to inform them, the elections workers, as well, that we don't think THEY did it. That it could have happened through Triad, without their knowledge. And then maybe some of them could help us get a look at the machines, if that would be of any help at this late date.
We need to get some of them on our side. Maybe Andy did that, though, when he was there?
