Repug talking point about Dem. canvassing board members...

[steve2470]

in Ohio not objecting to the results. What's the truth here ? BTW, I still they are full of feces.

1. If anyone has any real knowledge

I would love to hear. Have there been any reports from the Republican or Democrat election board members?


Are they really all OK with the way the election went?

2. Dang it! I heard a convincing argument about this.

Something about how ultimately the money comes from the state (ie blackwell et al.) to pay for the machines. I'm not sure about the validity of this statement...so, um...back to sqaure one I guess.

3. One Dem (Ken Nuss) resigned in Warren County before the

election - after he was suspended for 'making waves' about the lockdown.

At the Columbus, Ohio rally I thought one of the speakers said something about an entire Board of Elections in one county in Ohio resigning (probably a rumor because I haven't heard it anywhere else).

I don't think the BOE folks are going to object: It puts their job on the line. This is why the repetitive statements about each county having 2 Repubs and 2 Dems in the BOE so everything is fair and square is weak, at best. All are appointed by (serve at the pleasure of) the Ohio Secretary of State.

Also, IMO the vast majority of local elected officials are as honest as the day is long. If hackers or ballot box stuffers did a dirty deed they did it without the knowledge of (particularly) Dem board members. Thus, Dem board members feel attacked by 'outsiders' questionning their ability to run a clean election. Maybe when someone fingers a hacker who confesses then a Dem will step forward? I am hoping for a whistleblower, just not expecting one, since I don't think they realize what just happened.

5. Good point

These BOE folks need to realize that although it happened on their watch, it's the system that's at fault -- not them, although technically, it's their responsibility. The real issue is that they don't have experience with the technology and they are dependent on the techs to make things work. They should all be in favor of verified voting because it's the only way they can tell if these companies who they've turned the election over to are doing their jobs. They need to see this movement, if it is a movement, as their friend. If not I say SUE THE BASTARDS! (Whoops, sorry.)

7. I think we should enlist them to help us.

We have to inform them, the elections workers, as well, that we don't think THEY did it. That it could have happened through Triad, without their knowledge. And then maybe some of them could help us get a look at the machines, if that would be of any help at this late date.

We need to get some of them on our side. Maybe Andy did that, though, when he was there?

4. Why would they risk their jobs?

Blackwell has threatened his underlings in the past. This guy has no ethics whatsoever and wouldn't hesistate to can any dissenters.

6. If the BOE people really see how bad it is good people will

resign -- like Ken Nuss.

8. maybe they could HELP FIRST?

If we find them and ask for help?
