Real Fraud: lets start with Coshocton County for today's reporting.  They are missing all of their unvoted 2004 ballots (a fourth degree felony), and have over 6,800 votes in the same handwriting for a write-in sheriff candidate.  It looks like it actually could be the hand writing of 3 or 4 people... thousands of times.  This is real fraud, the kind that should matter and make newspaper headlines.  I've let the current Sheriff Tim Rogers know.  He is the man the crime was committed against.  Also the request for investigation went to Brian Green, attorney for the Ohio Secretary of State.  So far nothing has been done, but reports from Tim Kettler, a State Senate Candidate this morning are that Sheriff Tim Rogers is going to investigate.  They spoke on October 15, 2008.  Don't hold your breath, but do pray for us.

Below are two letters requesting a serious legal investigation, one to Brian Green, Elections Council for the Ohio Secretary of State, the other to Coshocton County Prosecutor Bob Batchelor.  More reports on Ohio and our current election will be unfolding.

Re: Voter Fraud in Coshocton County Sheriff race, and public record request

Sent: via email and US Post 

Dear Brian Green, 

I write today to find out the status of your investigation into the Coshocton County vote fraud that happened in the 2004 sheriff race where Timothy Rogers was the candidate with his name printed on the ballot, and there were reported to be 6,864 write-in votes for David Corbett, who had formally been the sheriff in the year 2000.  The vast majority of those appear to be election fraud, with a very small sprinkling of actual votes mixed throughout the ballots.  During tabulation, each one of these ballots had to be examined and the name of the write-in candidate read from it.  This happened at the election, at the recount, and I understand, ballots were recounted between the election and the recount.  Yet not one election official there spotted what I spotted within looking at my first 10 ballots, very easy to see voter fraud.  The same handwriting shows up repeatedly in thousands of write-in votes for candidate David Corbett.  Actually I would guess it is the handwriting of a couple people, and a serious real legal investigation is needed.  Timothy Rogers won the race, but this crime was committed directly against this incumbent sheriff for the benefit of a former sheriff, yet mysteriously current Sheriff Rogers doesn't seem to care.  I've contacted him.  

I showed you some of those ballots on September 16, 2008 in the presence of two people assisting my ongoing research that day, Marlys Barbee and Mike Tigner.  They were easily able to see the repeated handwriting in ballot after ballot, and in precinct after precinct.   Mike Tigner has been a part of Ohio law enforcement for 28 years.  We all saw it. 

My understanding after showing you some of the ballots from the effected 43 precincts was that you would be doing something about this.  I expressed my concern at that time that the same people that ran that election are to be running the election again this year.  My research shows that 100% of the precincts in Coshocton County were involved. 

So I request to know what has been done?  Has an investigation begun in the 29 days that have passed since I showed you these ballots?  Is there any oversight for the election officials in Coshocton County while they are currently hosting another election?
