Kerry revives 2004 election allegations
By DAVID HAMMER, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago
Sen. John Kerry didn't contest the results at the time, but now that he's considering another run for the White House, he's alleging election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004.
An e-mail will be sent to 100,000 Democratic donors Tuesday asking them to support U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland (news, bio, voting record) for governor of Ohio. The bulk of the e-mail criticizes Strickland's opponent, GOP Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, for his dual role in 2004 as President Bush's honorary Ohio campaign co-chairman and the state's top election official.
"He used the power of his state office to try to intimidate Ohioans and suppress the Democratic vote," said Kerry's e-mail.
Kerry, D-Mass., conceded the election when he lost Ohio and its 20 electoral votes. A recount requested by minor-party candidates showed Bush won by about 118,000 votes out of 5.5 million cast. But Kerry's e-mail says Blackwell "used his office to abuse our democracy and threaten basic voting rights."
Multiple lawsuits by outside groups were unsuccessful in challenging Ohio's 2004 election. One case filed by the League of Women Voters is still in U.S. District Court in Toledo. It claims Ohio's election system discriminates against minority voters.

Democrats...They just lie and get away with it.
Anyone who wants to suppress the Democrat vote would simply propose a history test for voter eligibility.
Is that photoshopped? LOL
The Dems suppress their own vote by sentencing the children of their constituents to public education, wherein a great many are rendered incapable of mastering the "butterfly ballot".
One could suppress the Democrat vote by checking voters' citizenship.
he's alleging election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004.
If it took place, document it. If it didn't, prove it.
I've had quite enough of this lying jackass. Can't he go off to the ashheap of history where he belongs?
like it wasn't his face and his snotty attitude.
No, I think it's a real photo. ;-)
AhhhhIII don't think so.
Evil Republicans--requiring voters to have a pulse! The nerve!!
Dear Senator Kerry,
If you are so serious about allegations of disenfranchisement, I wouls suggest that you propose the voter ID act.
The nations voter rolls will be purged and everyone will reregister. This will be combined with electronic ballots with paper receipts.
That should take care of everything.
regards
Oh please, what elections don't Democrats claim "massive irregularities" around anymore other than those they win? It's become their modus operendi because their arrogance and psychosis tells them no one could possibly not want to vote for them. Spare me.
This tactic is really unseemly and only serves to undermine confidence in the electoral process. That is not healthy for our democracy. The purpose is clear, it's to weaken the governing and moral authority of their opponents who beat them. No true patriot would engage in such slime without an ounce of evidence. This just further shows the contempt Kerry truly has for this nation and the extent to which he is a vile traitor.
Kerry, if you have the goods then bring the evidence. Short of that, shut the hell up. Go toss another grenade into a pile of rice you dumbass.
I suppose we could also suppress the Democrat vote by checking for a pulse.
LMAO!
LOL - That's a keeper!
Kerry needs to be hospitalized. He's delusional
once upon a time, I put up a sign in an office I worked in, anonymously, that said Tuesday was voting day for Reps, Wednesday was voting day for Dems (to avoid long voting lines)..they never did find out I did it, but found it necessary to remind everyone that Tuesday was voting day for everyone (apparently some believed the fake memo)..
Just found John Kerry's latest book at the Dollar Tree for $1.00.
It took the Dollar Tree 2 years to sell out the book by Al & Tipper Gore.
I will be watching this one, after all, it hasn't been out long.
Excellent!
booo...
Now that's just wrong! LOL!
The contempt comes not just from Kerry but from Al Gore, who started it all, and many democrat losers throughout the country.
Mike - your post was spot on - especially the 2nd paragraph. Thanks!
LOL That would be a start.
Social Security Number = 044-38-3515
NOW data is accurate but form is fake.
Were it the other way around, they would not have said anything at all. Not because they are liberal, but because they know that anyone voting for a republican is smart enough to know it's a joke.

HEY! KERRY! The ONLY weird vote totals in Ohio were perpetrated by DemocRATS in DemocRAT-infested Cuyahoga County. See for yourself in post #26 HERE !!!!
