34. vote control

Please someone enlighten me. If they controled the vote count in Ohio in 04' and defrauded the entire electoral process why on earth will they not do this again. Rove could run a turd with a toupee in that slot and it would win by 10% and worse yet, CNN would make it official and the American public would beleive it. We live in an Oz nightmare.

[adolfo]

57. Praying for a clean result

This time they are being watched closely by the public and could possibly be under investigation by other organizations.

(fingers crossed)

Good luck Hackett!

I'm as excited about this election as I would be if it was in my own state. This election means alot to the grassroots movement!

[bejammin075]

11. Watch out for level 10 terra alerts!

With Warren county, you never know. Last time, the warning was a 10 out of 10. The terrorists hated our fredom so much, it was too dangerous for the press to be near the vote counting room. But to be accomodating, the press could wait in the lobby while the vote counting was going on upstairs.

[Tigress DEM]

12. Saved it on my desktop also... just in case hanky panky happens later

Interesting that Jean Schmidt is being dropped by rethugs like a hot potato in favor of Bob Mcewen after her disasterous interview with Paul Hackett.

[senseandsensibility]

41. Please help an ignorant Californian!

What do those numbers mean?

[Tigress DEM]

162. Here is what I was thinking....

In Brown County there was a list of Reps to Congress -- one to be elected. Jean Schmidt was in one pack and Paul Hackett was in another, so I thought in addition to competing with each other they were in a Republican or DEM pack. So I thought the Republicans had other choices and that Bob McEwen was edging ahead of Jean Schmidt with people who didn't want Hackett, but didn't want her either. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like to me.... WAIT A MINUTE THE DATES ARE WRONG?! I'm going to put in a second post and see if I can get some help here.

What I wrote:
"Interesting that Jean Schmidt is being dropped by rethugs like a hot potato in favor of Bob Mcewen after her disasterous interview with Paul Hackett."

163. I found a descrepency and now I am kicking myself.

If I had taken the time last night to post the copies complete in this thread, we would have these bastards, but now I don't know how to prove what I have... I mean they can look at my machine and see that I didn't alter anything, right? But if I had posted it here last night several people would have been able to verify it.

Then when I was calling Sam Seder with Air America his staff put me on hold - someone took my question and then put me on hold for the WHOLE show.... and my husband was bugging me to put together a picnic so I was trying to focus on the numbers, but I never went back and compared the date until I responded to your thread.. and this was so late because when my husband and I went to our picnic we got in a bit of a fight, so I said, "OK" to renting a DVD and I just got back to looking at what I saved. Here it is.

I saved the Brown County as Text because it was smaller here is the exact time:

Created: Yesterday, August 02, 2005, 12:46:41 AM

NOW Accessed just changed to: Today, August 03, 2005, 1:07:47 AM because I looked at the properties and copied the date but Modified did NOT change, because I haven't changed anything.

Here is the Brown County text:

[Tigress DEM]

165. NEVER MIND!

AAaAgh! Got some advise from a person who is a night owl...

I copied those pages right at the beginning of the reporting.

The numbers in Brown County look like the primary numbers and so it's probably a case of cut and paste of those numbers by the person updating the web in a hurry.... doing it live instead of the two step process of completing it offline and then publishing it.

So since there is a logical explanation for what I saw I'm withdrawing my fear that I have some "exact proof" of FRAUD.

[sjr5740]

65. Kick on the numbers

Yes what do those numbers mean?

[katinmn]

14. Thanks for the links!

We can expect the Repug machine to use every tool at its disposal.
Those jerks are under a microscope today.

Go Hacket!!:patriot:

[Paradise]

15. thanks for the post, the links... n/t

[sabra]

16. Brown County is using Triad

http://66.241.236.181/

You remember them.... The company that posted "tip sheets" during the OH recount.

[blondeatlast]

18. Brown County qualifies for particular DU scrutiny in that case.

Anyone have any info for outsiders on pre-election polling in Brown?

How has Brown trended in previous campaigns?

[katinmn]

160. They are such assholes! The VP of the company wrote me

a letter taunting me about "Isn't today the day you're supposed to boycott us?"

What a dickhead. We don't buy voting machines and we can't boycott them.

Deibold, Triad, all the voting machine companies are owned by Republican whores.

[noamnety]

19. If they have real time results ...

does that mean the tabulators are connected to the internet during voting? Is that a good thing?

[Demrock6]

21. Good question........

Who knows what they will be feeding us.

[noamnety]

28. I was more wondering

what will hackers be feeding them?

[lizzieforkerry]

24. I'm pretty sure Warren County doesn't post their results

until after the the polls close. As they finish county precincts, they real time post the results- so it will be 10% in, 20% in, etc.

[lizzieforkerry]

23. WOW- I didn't realize Brinkman got 1000+ votes in the primary in Warren

County!! He is the uber-conservative that has called for a boycott of the election because Schmidt is not neo-con enough. If 1000+ people stay home this gives Hackett a little break in Warren County. I thought his popularity was mostly in Butler County. Let's hope!!!!!!!!!!

[skids]

25. GUESS which counties haven't posted a zero sheet yet.

Warren. Go figure. Bastards.

Hamilton gets dishonerable mention because their live results link is still blank, too.

Brown, and Clermont are both zero counts as of a few minutes ago. Clermont's isn't a real zero sheet, Brown is a ES&S punchcard machine output copy.

I'll be keeping an eye out for URL changes or additions today and will post them here.

[Old and In the Way]

26. Kicking for a win in Ohio!

[Cobalt Violet]

29. Does anyone know where Blackwell or the other traitors are today?

Why should anyone feel optimistic that this will be a fair election with the thug having an open door into the voting machines in Ohio?

[bearfan454]

30. kick for Ohio !

Let's watch and see if Diebold steals it again.

[jim3775]

31. TV COVERAGE LINKS

Two Cincinnati TV stations will have full online coverage tonight.

WCPO-ABC
http://wcpo.com/news/

Channel Cincinnati NBC
http://www.channelcincinnati.com/index.html

[CarolNYC]

32. This is great....

Thanks for these.

[Baltimore]

35. Same day?

I'm sorry to seem so clueless, but are they having their primary and general on the same day? Confused.

[DiehardDemInFRG]

38. No, they just haven't updated yet...

Apparently they don't post running 'scores' in these counties. :shrug:

[Guaranteed]

33. Here are the Warren County primary numbers (useful stuff):

REGISTERED VOTERS - DEMOCRAT 4,771

REGISTERED VOTERS - NON-PARTISAN 39,057

REGISTERED VOTERS - REPUBLICAN 17,754

REGISTERED VOTERS - TOTAL 61,582

BALLOTS CAST - DEMOCRAT 1,111 23.29%

BALLOTS CAST - NON-PARTISAN 0

BALLOTS CAST - REPUBLICAN 6,142 34.60

BALLOTS CAST - TOTAL 7,253 11.78


So, we're vastly outnumbered by the Repukes in that county, but look at the independents- there's a ton of them. Also looks like the Repukes had a greater turnout.

Those independents, though...

Just the primary numbers, anyway, and there are three other counties.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

36. It will take massive defections

In two or three of the counties, Schmidt placed third in the June primary. Remember that she was in the Ohio General Assembly and lost her primary as an incumbent last time out. If those same people who voted against her then would rather have a Democrat than put up with her Schmidt for the next two years, Hackett has a shot.

[enigami]

60. ,,,,,,

[DiehardDemInFRG]

[Rainscents]

44. Great Post and thank you for sharing the links!

God, Please save us from the evil as we needed badly. O8)

[In Truth We Trust]

45. I hope Mr. Hackett had the foresight to implement some kind of check

against electronic fraWd. I had suggested last week that a "shadow" ballot be available for people to voluntarily identify themselves and their vote. I hope that or spmething of that nature is in place.

[SeanQuinn]

46. I second that, nt

[ray of light]

47. when do they start updating these pages?

These are from the primaries!

[mtnester]

48. Vote tallies will not start until after the polls close...

First to go up wil be the counts by precinct of absentee...then as the precincts come in.

Don't expect any updates until at 7:30 or just after

[jim3775]

49. The first link has changed to general election results.

I wish I could edit my OP. Oh well.

[Reciprocity]

50. Hackett coverage coming up MSNBC. n/t

[Hobo]

62. A side note......

"Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you."

"Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away."

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

69. Come see the violence inherent in the system!

Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!!

[othermeans]

72. "Why its nothing but a bloody rabbit"

[personman]

51. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high.

I live in Ohio, just not one of the counties voting on this. 2004 taught me not get my hopes up. Luckily my county (Ashtabula County) which is the largest and poorest county in Ohio, was blue in 2004, but that was small consolation. It would be really really nice though to start kicking some of these corrupt, backwards, morally vacant assholes out of office.

-personman

[CBHagman]

61. Well said.

We DUers in other locales are pulling for you Buckeyes! I'll be holding my breath...

[darkism]

52. Reminder: TAKE MANY SCREENSHOTS.

Let's catch them in the act when they try their funny business.

PrintScreen > Paste into Paint > Save.

TAKE MANY SCREENSHOTS.

[faithnotgreed]

55. thats what were all thinking im afraid~ good advice

[Joanne98]

56. Good idea!

[FighttheFuture]

53. Exit Polls? Tell me how he has a chance in hell with no exit polls...

Without exit polls, and electronic machines and brownshirts in charge of most election functions in Ohio, how is he supposed to even have a chance?

[KansDem]

54. What do the exit polls say?

haha, just kidding...really...just some levity...haha...ha...

I think bits of this piece were added since it's earlier publishing- I know the part about Hackett voting is new because I read it earlier and that wasn't covered.

snip>
Both campaigns had TV and radio commercials sweeping the district, while campaign workers focused on get-out-the-vote efforts. Elections officials said turnout could be as high as 25 percent, a strong showing for a summertime special election.

2nd district voters head to polls

By Howard Wilkinson
Enquirer staff writer

Voters from the east side of Cincinnati to Portsmouth were heading to the polls Tuesday to choose a new member of Congress.

Two months ago, the special election race in the 2nd Congressional District, which stretches across seven southern Ohio counties, was expected to be a low-key affair, a near-automatic win for whichever republican candidate emerged from the June 14 GOP primary. After all, the previous congressman, Republican Rob Portman, routinely won the district with more than 70 percent of the vote.

But Democrat Paul Hackett, a lawyer and Iraq war veteran from Indian Hill, managed to defy the odds and turn his battle with Republican Jean Schmidt, a former state representative from Clermont County, into a hotly-contested race, attracting national media attention and hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars flowing into the district from both national political parties.

In Hamilton County, the turnout appeared to be light-to-moderate, according to election officials. But hundreds of campaign volunteers on both sides were working feverishly to get voters to the polls, and both campaigns had extensive phone bank operations.

At the Hamilton County Board of Elections, election officials said their biggest problem Tuesday was fielding scores of calls from voters who live in the 1st Congressional District, complaining that they went to their regular polling places and found them closed.

103. John Glenn and Max Cleland campaigned for Hackett. good.

Hackett, who would be the first Iraq war combat veteran in Congress if elected, campaigned with fellow vets Monday. He also had weekend campaign help from two other veterans, former Sens. John Glenn of Ohio and Max Cleland of Georgia.

''This is what America is all about,'' Hackett said. ''This is democracy in action.''

Hi, and thank you.

Is there a logical reason for that?

[JBear]

119. Clermont

Were'nt they the ones who had the lockdown in 2004???

[femrap]

120. I was involved in the Recount in Ohio after '04 election and

Clermont BOE was uncooperative and basically nasty.....I think it is very strange that the vote has stopped....it has been stuck for quite a while now....and of course this is the county where Mean Jean lives....

I don't know why they are holding up the results....unless it is just to be mean....we figured Clermont would go for Mean Jean....

I hate living here.

[niceypoo]

122. They have to cook the results first......

then they will turn them in. They are waiting to see how many to cook them by so they are garenteed a "win".

[lizzieforkerry]

128. Whatever happens - Hackett should get a recount

And, what is this - Schmidt - INSIDE the polling place - Isn't that illegal???

I live in MA (true blue & liberal to the core thank goodness), & we can't even stand with signs within so many feet of the voting booth OUTSIDE the polling station.

What is the deal with that?

This election looks incredibly close - but with Ohio vote fraud being what it is - who knows?

[Ksec]

133. Clermont County Site Down?

I just got Service Unavailable from the Clermont County site....

Those tallying machines are not supposed to be networked!!!

[johnkerryyip145]

142. Settle Down

The only reason no more numbers are coming up on the website is b/c they're about 10 minutes from airtime for the local news. The TV stations probably already have the results but want you to tune in to find out. For us locals that's easy...For you's guys, well, i'll tell you what i find out.

[lizzieforkerry]

131. Somebody needs to go to Tabby's in Mason and ask what is going on.

That's where a lot of the campaign people were going to get the results.

[rodeodance]

136. you go?

151. I can't my kids are in bed....sorry

I actually thought about waking them, but thought that might not put me on the Best Mom in the World List.

137. no provisional ballots?

Some places say 662 precincts counted others say 685 but they have the same vote tallies.

135. What is taking so long for these last precints to get counted?

If this takes any longer I am gonna be tempted to bust out the Heavy Duty Reynolds Wrap, the thick one...

[meppie-meppie not]

to this effect on Mike Malloy.

Oh, and how can the hand count crashed DRE machines??

Time for wearing of Orange!

[pazarus]

141. Cinicinnati Nation says the "Voting Equipment crashes in Clermont County"

With Schmidt currently 800 in the lead.

Why must everything be so close? I'm excited he's doing this well, but jeez, it 50.44 to 49.56 for Schmidt, which means either way the legitimacy will be questioned, AGAIN.

and a crash, huh? In one of the most Republican counties in the country, something goes wrong with the voting machines right before a close race? I won't believe it...

[JBear]

144. Clermont County is finished!

And he lost - odd how it just went dark and she magically jumped 2% in the total!

I am wearing Orange tomorrow!

[rodeodance]

149. Schmidt Wins 52-48%

According to Fox 19 News. They closed by clarifying that the elections boards are bi-partisan but that "there will be questions about why Clermont COunty came in late and we'll follow up on that story" (paraphrasing)

[rodeodance]

152. thanks but this sure is depressing.

[johnkerryyip145]

154. Confirmed by ABC 12 News

Schmidt won by about 3500 votes, but their story is about how this is the best showing by a Democrat in a long, long time.

[pazarus]

159. confirmed by CNN

their story is the generic 'democrat loses in close election'.

[adolfo]

150. Clermont is still counting

Clermont County is the only
county still counting votes at 10:41 pm.
100 of 191 counties have reported results there.

http://www.cincynation.com/

[rodeodance]

155. Paul Hackett (D) 48,811 49.56%; and her 50.44%

from your website:

Vote counting resumes
in Clermont County
The vote count has resumed in Clermont County after having earlier technical problems.

At 10:54 pm, Paul Hackett and Jean Schmidt were neck and neck in the vote count, with the Republican candidate slightly ahead. All results were in, except for Clermont County which was yet to report the tally from 91 precincts. But, with Hackett 800 votes behind it is unlikely that he would be able to catch up. Unfortunately for Hackett, he is getting 30,000 less votes than what Democrat Charles Sanders got in 2004 against Rob Portman, meaning a lot of Sanders-Kerry voters stayed home today.
