"Letters from the Edge" Part 2

April, 2007. Columbus, Ohio. 56 of 88 Ohio counties defied a federal court order and failed to return some or all of the 2004 presidential ballots that they were ordered to retain indefinitely. Over 1.5 million ballots were destroyed or lost, key evidence for major federal law suit charging election fraud and voter suppression in the 2004 presidential contest. For example: "fraudulent votes … cast for George W. Bush; inflating of vote tabulations in areas that tended to vote for George Bush."

What impact will the massive destruction of evidence by Ohio counties have on the federal case charging criminal election fraud in the 2004 presidential election? Some, but the case is still viable. Devastating findings by researchers for the plaintiffs are reviewed and a motive the destruction is provided. But first here are two more outstanding "Letters from the Edge" courtesy of Ohio elections officials trying to explain the mishandling and destruction of evidence.

Chaos and Outright Defiance after Losing and Destroying Evidence

Montgomery County Ohio was the scene of numerous election problems in 2004. The home of Dayton, this county was positively defiant when it reported deliberate destruction of all 2004 ballots. Why?

Election records were requested by the Secretary of State on April 9, 2007. Elections director Steven Harsman took until May 15, 2007 to produce this letter (Page 172)

"…we contacted our county prosecutor for further authorization.

In addition, we experienced an extra ordinary situation having 4 elections during a 90 day period. We literally ran out of space to prepare, stage, and retain material for those elections. It was imperative we process the 2004 materials for destruction under the guidelines of the 22 month retention.

Therefore, all materials were properly destroyed in a timely manner and we are unable to comply due to those circumstances.

We did not receive formal notice from the courts prior to preparing the certificate of destruction."

How often does a county executives contact the DA to get approval for shredding?

A prosperous county with a $750 million budget and an "A1" Moody's credit rating couldn't rent some storage space for vital records? Harsman should have used Google to find storage in Dayton.

Why is space even an issue if Montgomery was in full compliance with the law, as Harsman and the DA say they were?

Again I Ask: Where is the Outrage?

If this kind of thing had happened in a left-wing banana republic or in Iraq, the Bush Regime would be screaming and invading. But it happens at home where the Demublicans are in charge and since they both engage in this kind of skulduggery, nobody can afford to dig too deeply lest they get painted with the same brush.

Voter fraud + corrupt Supreme Court violating its own Constitution and rules = control by oligarchy. And America continues to sleep.

Dan, you are on target

Neither party has an interest in exposing the truth - elections are a charade. Why else woud the newly elected majority in the House thumb their collective nose at the voters by doing nothing? Because they are assured of reelection through either "safe districts" (rigged election by boundary) or a little voting machine magic (electronic voting of any type). Unfortunately for Congress, their collective back side is showing. They will pay at the polls and when they rig that, there will be a new level of outrage. When leaders do nothing about major crimes, their legitimacy is suspect.

IMPEACH THE SUPREME COURT TOO!

Re reference to the corrupt Supreme Court. Why aren't people pushing got the impeachment of theSupreme Court justices who voted to appoint Bush in 2000? You'll have to face this necessity eventually since those black robbed Neanderthals will rule against you if your election suits ever reach the Supreme Court. They will probably rule against you if Bush and Cheney are ever successfully impeached and convicted.

Those Supreme Injustices violated their oath to uphold the Constitution when they appointed Bush in 2000. Don't just impeach Bush and Cheney. Also impeach the Supreme Court and all other federal officials who deserve it.
