Fitrakis: "Eight to ten thousand people disappeared off the Deibold electronic (records) system in 2004."
OpEdNews: "What's the connection between Diebold and the record system of the voting rolls?"
Fitrakis: "They have a "D.I.M." system-- electronic voter registration system-- and a lot of the counties have this computerized system. People are on it one day, then suddenly there's a computer glitch and eight to ten thousand people are gone the next day.
"ES&S has a system, Triad has a system. All the manufacturers have computerized voter registration software."
OpEdNews "So there's a very good possiblity not only that there have been purges but that Diebold could have been involved in doing the purges?"
Fitrakis "Diebold and Triad at the county level. We know they inadvertently purged eight to ten thousand people in '04."
"Thats the key question that's been raised in all of this --who is controlling the voter registration rolls-- the vendors, the secretary of state or the county? And we don't know yet. All we know is that people have raised the possibility of purges."
Botom line-- Ohio is generally recognized as one of most at-risk states in the nation, in terms of vote theft, manipulation and voter disenfranchisement. Now is the time to be vigilant, to turn over every rock, to scrutinize every potential whiff of possible vote integrity threat. In the past, Democrats failed to take the threat seriously. John Kerry minimized or ignored the reports of problems in Ohio and failed to use the reputed $20 million war chest that was raised specifically to investigate and fight vote theft and corruption efforts.
Bob Fitrakis is a voting integrity hero, committing enormous amounts of time, energy and resources to fighting the good fight, forcing the actions of nefarious Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell to see the light of day. He needs and deserves support from the net roots You can make a contribution to help support his efforts to evaluate actions in all 88 Ohio counties by going here.
