Recent History-Registration, Clermont Co. OH, -- Where Hackett Lost

[autorank]

in the final hours of the campaign.  

I hear people saying they're tired of hearing doubters.  Well,
tough, I'm not tired of thinking so deal with it.

Here is what happened in Clermont Ohio in 2004.  Very
interesting.

[b]CLERMONT COUNTY [/b]

The best way to illustrate what happened in Clermont County is
to begin by presenting two tables, showing very different
voting patterns in two townships. 

Tate Township
 
   Registered Voters   Turnout
   2000  2004 Change  2000 2004 Bush Kerry  Bush Gore
 
A   502   517 + 2.9%  68.7 72.9  270  105   226  109
B   401   411 + 2.5%  51.1 58.9  167   71   131   69
C   451   480 + 6.4%  69.4 76.3  263   93   226   76
D   458   512 +11.8%  68.3 74.2  272  102   217   87
E   309   313 + 1.3%  70.2 77.3  169   68   131   82

G   394   459 +16.5%  73.4 78.9  271   88   221   61
H   707   772 + 9.2%  65.6 76.0  415  167   320  129
I   403   423 + 5.0%  62.3 72.1  201   99   172   71
   3978  4257 + 7.0%  65.7 73.5 2239  849  1790  752


Every precinct in Tate Township reported a modest increase in
voter registration, quite in line with the 10.2% increase
county wide.  It was the voter turnout, up by 7.8%, which
translated into a big win for Bush.  Excluding third-party
candidates, there were 546 more votes cast for president in
2004 than in 2000.  Bush got 449 of them, and Kerry got 97.

In Batavia Township the voter registration rates are
unbelievable.  The increase is said to be 24.1% for the entire
township, compared to 9.1% elsewhere in the county.  The
increases range as high as 67.6% in Precinct E, where 378 new
voters were registered.  It appears that nearly all of them
voted.  Turnout is said to have increased by 17.3%.  Excluding
third-party candidates, there were 372 more votes cast for
president in 2004 than in 2000 in Precinct E alone.  Bush got
282 of them, and Kerry got 90.  On the other hand, decreases
in voter registration rates range as high as 49.4% in Precinct
I, where 280 voters were lost from the rolls.  Nearly all the
313 people who failed to vote in 2000 either died or moved
away.  And yet, miraculously, excluding third-party
candidates, only 14 fewer votes were cast for president in
2004 than in 2000.  Bush managed to gain 13 votes in Precinct
I, while the Democrats lost 27, ostensibly because voter
turnout increased by 36.6%.  There are 23 such precincts in
Clermont County, where turnout was up, but Kerry got fewer
votes than Gore. 

I do not believe these numbers.  They call into question both
the voter registration data and the turnout data for all of
Clermont County, and the validity of the vote count itself. 

[b]These three counties between them, Butler, Warren, and
Clermont, provided nearly all of George W. Bush’s lead on
election night.  They also provided, by far, his three largest
majorities, and the three largest increases in Bush’s margin
of victory among any of the 72 counties that he won.  The
election results in Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties
should be challenged, for they call into question the results
for the entire State of Ohio. [/b]

1. Once again

I would have bought that Hackett lost in a very red district but the
humidity story is what got my interest up.

600 + precincts in that district all were able to vote and have the votes
tabulated but
91 had problems because of humidity causing problems in the vote tabulating
machines ..... where was that machine in a barn?

They have AC there.

Once again a glitch favors the repug.

2. Unbelievable, indeed

In Batavia Township the voter registration rates are
unbelievable. The increase is said to be 24.1% for the
entire township, compared to 9.1% elsewhere in the county.
The increases range as high as 67.6% in Precinct E, where 378
new voters were registered.

Either the Reeps kicked some major ass, or there's a rat stinking up the place...sounds fishy.
