Will Al Gore face his inconvenient truths about our stolen elections? When will Gore muster the courage of former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker in denouncing the role of voting machine proprietors and techno "insiders" in corrupting the voting process? Most of all, we need to hear how Al Gore and the Democratic Party plan to guarantee it never happens again. And then we need to see them actually act on it.

Sausage making and electronic voting machines While the Magistrate found by clear and convincing evidence that there were election "irregularities,"he failed to order a new election in part because electronic voting creates a classic Catch-22.Because of the non-transparency of the computer black boxes we vote on,you can never really prove with "clear and convincing evidence" who won.That now seems to be the case for Carol Squire-and for the majority of counties in Ohio 04

Missing votes in Ohio call races into question The voting irregularities in the 06 election appear to be greater than in 2004, but many Ohio Democrats have chosen to ignore that reality.

Did the US Supreme Court just elect John McCain? Thus the GOP hope that millions of Americans will be voting on hackable computers this November, and that millions more may be eliminated from the rolls altogether, seems very close to fruition. Whether this will swing the election to John McCain remains to be seen. But this Supreme Court decision allowing the demand for photo ID makes it much more likely.

Did Republicans give Hillary her victory in Ohio? This fall it is virtually certain that OH will once again play a key role in choosing the next president.Except for JFK in 1960,no candidate has won the presidency without carrying the Buckeye State since the 1840s.This spring,the Buckeye State has also played a critical part in the race for the Democratic nomination. And it would appear that Ohio Repubs and independents who generally vote R were key in handling the state to H

The criminal cover-up of Ohio's stolen 2004 election sinks to the fraudulent, the absurd, the pathetic America has been robbed of its history here.The public has a right to know the true outcome of the 2004 election,and to have its laws about preservation of critical records honored.Under evidence laws, the destruction of material that serves as evidence in a lawsuit is presumed to be fraudulent action by the destroyer.[This contempt of the law] seems yet another obvious confirmation that it was, in fact, stolen.

Bob & Harvey's 3-Step "Ohio Plan" for fair and reliable voting and vote counts These three simple,practical steps could revolutionize our democratic process and restore control of our government to the people.Which is precisely why we expect the mainstream media,voting machine manufacturers and major parties to heap scorn on them.We have not addressed the problem of money in politics,proportional voting, or the corporate media's undemocratic domination of the campaign process.We must start somewhere.

Shock, awe and Antioch: The Bush administration's attack on progressive education Mysteries still surround Antioch's rapid and poorly explained closing.The role of a Thurmond/Moon-connected PR firm and three trustees tied to the U.S. military and security industrial complexes must be heavily scrutinized. Antioch alumni should be ashamed to allow their college to die until they get to the bottom of this spooky mystery.

STOP Blackwell, what's that sign: Everyone look what's going down But the reaction of the GOP has been to decimate the exit polls. This year, for the first time, exit poll results will not be published, or made accessible to the general media. Instead, exit poll data will be held in locked vaults. Access by the media will be strictly limited. There will be no publication of the exit polls until they are "adjusted" to match the official vote counts.

Columbus Dispatch endorses untested hackable computer voting machines The Columbus Dispatch is out to make Ohio safe for easily hacked and illegally manipulated computer voting machines.Using the disgusting tactics pioneered by the tobacco, nuclear and Big Oil companies,the Dispatch has endorsed a position where compromised vendors who work for the secretive voting machine manufacturers are unbiased and independent academics who come to informed, factually-based opinions, are biased.

The Lethal Media Silence on Kent State The 1970 killings by National Guardsmen of four students during a peaceful anti-war demonstration at Kent State University have now been shown to be cold-blooded, premeditated official murder. But the definitive proof of this monumental historic reality is not, apparently, worthy of significant analysis or comment in today's mainstream media.

Three key ways YOU can help protect the 2008 election 1) BEFORE THE ELECTION:REGISTER PEOPLE TO VOTE,CONFIRM THEIR REGISTRATIONS, AND HELP THEM GET PHOTO ID.2)ON ELECTION DAY:BE A POLL WORKER.3) AFTER THE POLLS CLOSE: BE A VOTE COUNT OBSERVER. We cannot guarantee success. But we have already seen what can happen when elections are stolen. And we doubt the nation can survive it happening again.

Forced Resignations and still prison sentences intensify the escalating blowback from Ohio's 2004 stolen election With stiff prison terms, forced resignations and widespread investigations underway, there is a well-founded sense in Ohio that much more is yet to surface about the disputed presidential election of 2004 and what has come after it.

The Pryce of Democracy in Ohio's 15th Congressional District There is still indication that a truly random recount along with other revelations uncovered by the Free Press team could result in a Kilroy victory.To her credit,Kilroy has refused to concede. There is ample indication that she was, in fact, the rightful winner. Let's hope she searches out every possible avenue and makes absolutely certain every vote is properly counted before a final verdict is reached in this crucial race.

Two Big Victories Boost Ohio's Election Protection Movement In a victory for election protection activists, Ohio's powerful GOP Chair Bob Bennett will be forced to face a public hearing on his removal as Chair of the Cuyahoga Board of Elections. And in a second triumph,Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has agreed, as part of a legal settlement,to take possession of the ballots and other key documents from the disputed 2004 election that gave George W. Bush a second term...

Missing Votes in Ohio Call Races Into Question While Democratic Party supporters celebrate their success in Ohio,where their statewide candidates won four out of five executive offices and they now control both the U.S. House and Senate, they are ignoring massive and verifiable irregularities in the 2006 election. Similar irregularities – including missing votes, undervotes and overvotes – may come back to haunt the Democrats in the 2008 general election.

A Monumental Victory for the Election Protection Movement A return to paper ballots is the bottom line.The color-coded, multi-shaped Swiss sequencing ballots would work perfectly fine here in the U.S.,and would save the nation billions of dollars,as well as the hard uncertainty that surrounds our electoral process.But however we cut it, there has been a sea change in the election process.As Americans,we have too long taken for granted the right to vote and have our votes counted...

There are Democrats who wish the Free Press would remain silent, fearing that exposure of these facts will demoralize their base and lead to low voter turn out.

Another Husted Dirty Trick in Ohio Election fraud is anything but "de minimus" in Ohio. Ohio voters didn't choose Bush II & they probably won't choose Romney though the Secretary of State's Election Counsel, Brandi Seske, may find a way to make it appear they did.

Why Romney has already won this electronic election, unless... Electronically, this election is over. Mitt Romney has won. The big loser is not Barack Obama, or the corporate Democratic Party. It is democracy itself. Unless YOU act now, and are prepared to fight this out for years to come, whatever remains of American democracy is done. No nation that suffers the theft of three out of four consecutive national elections can harbor the illusion that it is run by the will of its people.

OOPS! We rigged the Iran/Florida-Ohio vote count AGAIN!! Iran's Ayatollahs have just admitted that in some 50 cities there were as many as 3 million more votes cast than there were voters in the recent presidential election. But, they say, that's not enough to change the outcome. Sound familiar?
