Quick! Call Keith Olbermann!
So, what's going on? someone was trying to eliminate Kerry votes by putting stickers over Kerry's bubble on the ballot?
What does it mean? Is the allegation that they favored Bush or Kerry? I get the impression that they favored Kerry, else this would be on CNN not the South Cincinnati Effort.
Makes a case for electronic voting machines.
Any numbers on how much Bush won by, and how many votes Kerry would have needed to overcome Bush's win?
Start with King County, Washington, the site of the coup d'etat seizing power from Governor Rossi.
"Some witnesses"
The usual unnamed suspects.
Just crap. Clermont County is very conservative. There is no need to fool around, just sour grapes. Look to Cleveland and other lib centers.
I'd be interested in seeing how the ballots were designed.
The reason I asked is that a friend in Memphis said she ALMOST voted for Kerry by accident because his name was first on the ballot. I've heard of other ballots where not only Kerry was listed first, but President Bush was listed even after lesser known candidates.
Basically, knowing the design of the ballot might explain a larger number of "oops" markings for Kerry initially when the voter meant to vote for Bush.
It would take a pretty L-O-N-G time for someone to paste 113,000 stickers over Kerry's name to change the course of this election. I wonder if Kerry even got 113,000 votes in Clermont County.
bttt
the only sticker I saw that day was a BUSH/CHENEY sticker ( the small size) stuck on the wall of the elevator....I , um, don't know who in the world stuck it there.
Why the hell doesn't the stinking FBI come out here to Ukraine County, WA and interview these communists out here who screwed up the election for governor????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
New Dispute Over November Election Results

The presidential election has been over for a while, but allegations of election fraud continue.
Attorneys are looking into concerns centering around the use of stickers to cover markings on ballots in Clermont County.
The questions came up during a December meeting - that's when witnesses to the re-count say they brought up their concerns before the Clermont County Board of Elections.
One witness says he saw stickers placed over the bubbles next to the names of John Kerry and John Edwards. But, he says he never saw any stickers placed over the bubbles next to President George Bush or Dick Cheney.
However, Dan Bare, the director for the Clermont County Board of Elections, tells us those stickers were in fact used over Bush-Cheney bubbles as well.
Bare says since 1995 the county has placed stickers on any extra markings on ballots that may throw off the count.
"I have to say the stickers were used in a discriminatory manner becuse there were many ballots we saw with what could be called extraneous marks for Kerry, that weren't covered," said Bob Drake, who witness the recount.
Dan Bare says he wants to make it clear he stands by his staff, and says they did everything by the book.
Attorneys know the election is certified but are looking into the sticker concerns hoping any irregularities are fixed before another election.
More evidence that the FBI is still controlled by clintonoids in the top echelons and that Bush has done NOTHING to clean it out. They are starting to deal with the mess in the CIA, but the FBI is completely untouched.
Nothing wrong with investigating Republican shennanigans, but I'm disturbed that that has been virtually the only thing that has been investigated. The same was true in Florida, where they are STILL investigating charges of obstructing black voting way back in 2000 but have done nothing to look into Democrat vote packing.
I thought Republican precincts didn't allow "witnesses"
ah, but enhancing ballots after the vote is just peachy keen.......which was done in Kink county in Washington......
