Sounds like there was something very wrong in 2004? And not just in New Mexico. Any Problems in 2006? Let’s Ask the U.S. Attorneys.
To my knowledge, there has been no federal investigation by any official body into election fraud in the 2004 election. An Ohio special prosecutor convicted Cuyahoga County election workers of rigging the 2004 recount, however. With all the talk of how abused the U.S. Attorneys are, which of them looked into any of these incidents ripe for investigation:
Investigating Election Fraud A Ground Breaking Study Attorney Paul Lehto was a poll watcher in 2004, Snohomish County, Washington State. This detailed and empirically based report shows a multitude of potential to outright manipulations mostly favoring Bush. Did a U.S. Attorney every look into this? Did a U.S. Attorney ever read it?
The Conyers Report, Ohio 2004: Preserving Democracy Cong. John Conyers, (R-MI) did his own investigation of the Ohio 2004 race right after the election. He was the ranking minority member but got no support from influential Ohio Republican Cong. Robert New (R-OH), now convicted of bribery and corruptions and serving time. Conyers documented the likely loss of tens of thousands of votes in Ohio due to election policies that suppressed the minority vote. Did a U.S. Attorney every look into this? Did a U.S. Attorney ever read it?
The Declaration or Richard Hayes Phillips documented numerous incidents of lost Kerry votes by examining actual ballots. James Q. Jacobs documents how Kerry votes were switched to Bush in a detailed analysis. Michael Keefer wrote a detailed summary of the various forms of election fraud and voter suppression in Ohio, The Strange Death of American Democracy. End Game in Ohio. Did a U.S. Attorney every look into any of this? Did a U.S. Attorney ever read these articles?
Ron Baiman, TruthIsAll, Steve Freeman, and Jonathan Simon all produced extensive mathematical and statistical studies which repeatedly showed problems with the over all vote count.
Project Censored (sponsored by eminent journalists) chose stolen election 2004 as one of the most important stories not covered by the corporate media. Any U.S. Attorneys out there buy the best selling book of the same name?
In Ohio’s 2006 election, award winning investigative reporter, attorney and activist Bob Fitrakis unearthed problem after problem, including obvious missing votes. To date, from what we know about the 2006 midterm elections nationwide, there were over 200 press stories alone and a likely tens of thousands of voters who experienced e-voting machine irregularities of all types, including vote switching. The Election Defense Alliance published a detailed report Major Miscount in 2006 Election: Were 3 Million Votes "Misplaced"? This was confirmed by TruthIsAll in his own exhaustive analysis which also found likely missing votes in the millions.
Did any U.S. Attorney every look into this 2006 evidence of election fraud? Did any U.S. Attorney ever read it?
Preoccupied with the fiction of “voter fraud” at a rate of six to eight cases a year, U.S. Attorneys participated in a grand fiction that not only enabled restrictive voter identification laws and other forms of voter suppression, they apparently ignored citizen generated primary and analytic evidence of election fraud in 2004 and 2006.
Is this any way to handle the voting rights of citizens?
