Let's Connect the Dots back to pre-November 2nd

[spooked]

We KNOW Fraud was committed. Now let's look back and see how they set it up. Take this for example: One day before the election, Blackwell gets a judge to order that no reporters may go within 100 feet of polling places, something they had been doing for 30 years.

Judge upholds media ban from polls

News organizations were dealt a blow in Ohio Monday when a federal judge upheld a decision barring reporters from interviewing and reporting in polling places during today's voting.

In a ruling against the Akron Beacon Journal, U.S. District Judge Paul Matia upheld Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's decision to keep reporters and photographers from polling places across the state...

The media, mostly television stations, had intended to interview voters for exit polls at 50 Ohio precincts. But late Friday, Blackwell ordered county boards of elections to enforce the buffer, preventing all but voters and official election workers from crossing over the 100-foot line...

In the Cleveland case, the Beacon Journal had intended to go inside polls to observe and report on the election process.

Without reporters on the scenes, the newspaper argued, "voting irregularities may go unchecked."

18. That last week was a tough week

pollwise. Most of the polls had us winning Ohio. Then the last week they broke for Bush. That was tough to watch.

The majority of the polls had Bush winning Flordia, too. I knew we weren't going to do it without one of those two.

4. Blackwell - 10/15 voter fraud article

http://actforvictory.org/act.php/truth/articles/alleged_gop_voter_fraud_group_comes_to_ohio_blackwell_continues_voter_suppr/

also in the list: In Ohio, the Republican Secretary of State has said he will not accept voter registration forms not printed on 80-lb stock paper and he will not accept provisional ballots by people who try to vote in the wrong precinct. He backed off his voter registration edict, but his provisional ballot rule could wipe out more than 100,000 votes.

19. BushCO all said "no matter what, we'll know winner on Election night"

"this isn't going to be drawn out. It wouldn't be good for the country to go through that again."

They planted the thought and everyone fell for it.
