philips....You deserve NO respect of any kind from anyone. Your statement...."Vote Counting Fraud by public officials stole Ohio from Kerry in 2004.".... First of all the 2 convicted were DEMOCRATS...and what they did was stupid not FRAUD. Two Convicted for Ohio Vote Fraud, Media Leaves Out They're Democrats By Warner Todd Huston \| November 06, 2007 \| 05:02 We have seen over and over again how the MSM (and the AP in particular) can't seem to force themselves to mention the party affiliation of some elected official accused and/or convicted of a crime if that official happens to be a Democrat. Now the MSM has expanded that from elected officials even to party workers. The AP reports a story on two Democrat election officials convicted of recount rigging and neglect of official duties for their actions during the 2004 elections but, for some hard to determine reason, few if any news sources are mentioning that these two are Democrats. Jacqueline Maiden and Kathleen Dreamer have pleaded guilty to the charges after an aborted conviction from last January, the original trial having been granted a retrial on grounds not connected with the pair's actions. Their crime is a bit hard to explain, but what it comes down to is that they committed fraud with the 2004 ballot recount procedures that amounted to their attempt to get out of following the proper procedure to conduct the recount. Most of the news reports take great pains to say that the convicted operatives' actions "weren't for political purposes," but even if that were true does that make legitimate not mentioning that they are Democrat Party election officials in Cuyahoga County, one of Ohio's most Democratic counties? Again, we have to ask, what would these news sources do if these two guilty officials were Republican election workers? Who can doubt that the party affiliation would have led the reportage of this crime? So, no party affiliation for Maiden and Dreamer from either UPI, the AP, or the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The closest we get is an oblique reference to the claim that the pair's actions didn't help John Kerry in 2004. Special prosecutor Kevin Baxter did not claim the actions affected the outcome of the election. Democratic Sen. John Kerry Kerry gained 17 votes and President Bush lost six in the county recount. newsbusters.org

kenny you stated...."Vote Counting Fraud by public officials stole Ohio from Kerry in 2004.".... LIAR.....! NOTHING was stolen from kerry. Baxter said testimony in the case will show that instead of conducting a random count, the workers chose sample precincts for the Dec. 16, 2004, recount that did not have questionable results to ensure that no discrepancies would emerge. In Cuyahoga, a Democratic stronghold where about 600,000 ballots were cast, the recount had little effect on the results. Kerry gained 17 votes and Bush lost six. It's unlikely another recount would be ordered because of the court case, which voting rights advocates have used as an example of flaws with the state's recount laws. articles.boston.com
