CLEVELAND (AP) - Two county election workers were sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison for rigging a recount of 2004 presidential election ballots so they could avoid a longer, detailed review.

Jacqueline Maiden, 60, a Cuyahoga County election coordinator who was the board's third-highest ranking employee, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer, 40, each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Peter Corrigan allowed the women to remain free on bail pending appeal, but indicated he thought there was a more widespread conspiracy among election officials.

``I can't help but feel there's more to this story,'' Corrigan said.

compare w U.S. version:

Two Cuyahoga County Board of Elections workers have received the maximum sentence for taking illegal shortcuts in the 2004 pres recount.
Judge Peter Corrigan sentenced Jacquline Maiden and Kathleen Dreamer to 18 months in prison.

They were accused of rigging the recount to avoid extra work of a full recount.

The prosecutor claimed the two women are protecting senior election officials or board members. They denied that.

Both have been fired.

FUNNY BUT THE US VERSION FAILS TO MENTION THAT JUDGE CORRIGAN THOUGHT THERE WAS A MORE WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY AMONG ELECTION OFFICIALS.

1. Credit ought to go to Associated Press, which is an American organization

You can find the AP story, with comment, in several American publications: http://news.google.com/news?q=%22help+but+feel+there%27s+more+to+this+story%22&scoring=d

2. K&R...the Corporate Media will be dragged kicking and screaming into this story.

That's the gist of it. There is more than enough evidence that media neglect has been in place for a long time. The public has no problem with this story. They eat it up when presented on the internet but CM lacks the ability to fess up and tell the truth.

"Rigged Recount Conducted in Secret"

That's what Baxter said, the prosecutor, that's what he proved.

Now "Mzx for Vote Riggers, Judge Says More Involved"

If I can do it, why not CM?

3. ...and it seems it is not simply a "denial" coming from the erroneous

belief that as a developed country this can not happen -

The conglomerate owners of the news organizations have benefited greatly from the election results.

grrrrr
