Stolen elections and civil insurrection
By Jerry Mazza

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.�s Rolling Stone article, Was the 2004 Election Stolen?, takes a needed look back at the many ways the Ohio 2004 vote was sandbagged by more illegal dirty tricks than the mind can fathom. The footnotes that document the article online nearly equal its length. The bottom line is a painful reminder that Ohio was swiped from Kerry, handing Bush the presidential victory. Just as the misdeeds of Katherine Harris, Florida Republicans, and the United States Supreme court swung the 2000 election in Bush�s favor away from Gore.

Debunking the debunker
By Ernest Partridge

Complication of the election integrity issue works to the advantage of the status quo; which is to say, the increasing use of paperless, unauditable direct recording electronic (DRE) voting machines. More complications abound as critics of the status quo attempt to prove that past, and presumably future, elections were and will be fraudulent.

Bush, the most hated president ever, stole both elections
By Evelyn Pringle

The latest polls say Americans now dislike Bush more than any other president, including even Tricky Dick. It only took the public five and half year to see through him.

Will the major media finally cover the electronic election fraud issue?
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

That the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 were stolen has become an article of faith for millions of mainstream Americans. But there has been barely a whiff of coverage in the major media about any problems with the electronic voting machines that made those thefts possible -- until now.

The money pit: Diebold vs. America
By Denis Wright

Georgia was the first state in the nation to go 100 percent with electronic voting, thanks to Secretary of State Cathy Cox. This was a mantle she carried, and continues to carry, proudly. In fact, she's using it to bolster her run for governor in 2006, and indeed she is currently the Democratic front-runner.

By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

Ohio's Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has grabbed the GOP nomination for governor in a vote count riddled with machine breakdowns.

Free Press uncovers evidence of ballot tampering in Warren County, Ohio
By Bob Fitrakis

After locking out all media observers and declaring a Level 10 Homeland Security Alert, the Republican-dominated Warren County, Ohio, reported the vote tally in the wee hours of the morning on November 3, 2004 -- and gave George W. Bush a surprising 14,000-vote boost. Two election workers told the Free Press that the ballots had been diverted to an unauthorized warehouse where they had been possibly stuffed. That is, punched for Bush only. Maps were supplied to the Free Press showing the locations of the warehouse and the Board of Elections.

An open letter to voters clarifying H.R. 550
From Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ)

I would like to thank Bev Harris for her work to improve the integrity of elections. In fact, it was through Bev Harris� work that I first became aware of the virtual monopoly that only a few voting system vendors have over the vote count in the United States. Her work, and that of many others in the grassroots community, played an important role in my development of a solution to the problem of an increasingly privatized vote count.

Black Box Voting opposes Rush Holt bill, calling it "dangerous"
By Bev Harris

There is a major push right now to pass H.B. 550, a bill put forth by Rep. Rush Holt to mandate a paper trail (along with a flimsy audit that no accountant would agree is adequate).

Shocking Diebold conflict of interest revelations from secretary of state further taint Ohio's electoral credibility
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

Ohio is reeling with a mixture of outrage and hilarity as Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has revealed that he has owned stock in the Diebold voting machine company, to which Blackwell tried to award no-bid contracts worth millions while allowing its operators to steal Ohio elections. A top Republican election official also says a Diebold operative told him he made a $50,000 donation to Blackwell's "political interests."

Chicago ballot chaos: New computer vote machines malfunction, unverifiable
By Christopher Bollyn

COOK COUNTY, Illinois -- Chicago�s use of a flawed computerized voting system operated by a privately held foreign company reveals how meaningless and absurd the �democratic� process in America has become.

Is the mainstream media finally getting half the rigged voting machine story?
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

The fact that electronic voting machines don't work may finally be sinking into a segment of the mainstream media. The fact that e-voting machines can, have been, and will be used to steal elections, continues to go unreported.

Why did J. Kenneth Blackwell seek, then hide, his association with super-rich extremists and e-voting magnates?
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

The man who stole the 2004 election for George W. Bush -- Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell -- has posted a picture of himself addressing the white supremacist ultra-right Council for National Policy (CNP). He then pulled the picture and tried to hide his participation in the meeting by removing mention of it from his website, kenblackwell.com.

Did 308,000 cancelled Ohio voter registrations put Bush back in the White House?

While life goes on during the Bush2 nightmare, so does the research on what really happened here in 2004 to give George W. Bush a second term.

As Alito takes Supreme Court seat, Ohio GOP guts election protection
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

Ohio's GOP-controlled legislature has passed a repressive new law that will gut free elections here and is already surfacing elsewhere around the US. The bill will continue the process of installing the GOP as America's permanent ruling party.

Did the NSA help Bush hack the vote?

Fake voting rights activists and groups linked to White House
By Bob Fitrakis

Top level Republican operatives with ties to the White House, Senate Majority Leader William Frist and the Republican National Committee (RNC) not only engaged in the suppression of poor and minority voters in the 2004 Ohio presidential election, but they spun the election irregularities into a story linking blacks to cocaine and voter fraud. Bush allies in Ohio are now using this myth of voter fraud to pass a repressive "election reform" bill.
