Will Ken Blackwell find the ways to steal Ohio 2006 as he did in 2004?
By Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman

The man who stole Ohio for George W. Bush in 2004 is now trying to steal it for himself in 2006. The question is: who will stop him, and will he also affect the balance of power in the U.S. Congress?

By Frank J. Ranelli

Stealing the midterm elections and the power of myth
By Mike Whitney

Karl Rove is not Harry Houdini. He can�t change the fact that the Democrats could take up to 40 seats in the House and that the Republicans may lose the Senate as well. He can�t change the national polling-data which favors the Democrats by a considerable margin, or the exit polling which is predicted to show substantial Democratic gains, too. And, there�s nothing Rove can do to stop the perception that the elections are now expected to be a Democratic landslide extending from sea to shining sea. The only thing that Rove can do to win the midterms is to purge the voting roles in key states and crank up the voting machines to �full-tilt.�

Ecuador as banana republic?
By Jerry Mazza

That is the question for the Ecuadorian people, as paradigm for Mexican, South and Central Americans and Americans themselves, as Ecuadorians face a runoff election between the populist Chavez-leaning Rafael Correa and Alvaro Noboa, conservative banking and banana magnate.

A loaves & fishes/Holy Ghost victory for the GOP in November?
By Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman

The polls all point to a Democratic sweep in November. The news pours in about pedophile Republicans and Team Bush contempt for their fundamentalist bedmates. Iraq implodes. Deficits soar. Katrina lingers. Scandal is everywhere.

Democracy battle in Florida
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

Voters in Florida should not fall victim to the slick advertising by corporate and other special interests. Their aim is to pass Amendment 3. Why? Because the corporatist state wants to up the percent of votes required to pass citizen ballot initiatives that amend Florida's constitution, from the current simple majority requirement to a supermajority of 60 percent. If this tactic succeeds, Florida would be the only state requiring such a supermajority for ballot measures and initiatives, and corporate interests will work to do the same in other states.

Viguerie to the GOP: Fuhgedaboutit
By Bill Berkowitz

With the Republican Party in disarray and control of the U.S. Congress at stake in the upcoming November elections, a host of top-shelf conservative Christian leaders are still sticking with the GOP despite the Foley Scandal and the quagmire in Iraq. However, Richard Viguerie, widely recognized as one of the founding fathers of the modern conservative movement, has a different message for conservatives.

Court victory lets preserved Ohio 2004 ballots tell new tales of theft and fraud as indictments and convictions mount
By Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman

Ohio election protection activists have won a landmark court battle to preserve the ballots from 2004�s disputed presidential election, and researchers studying those ballots continue to find new evidence that the election was, indeed, stolen. Among other things, large numbers of consecutive votes in different precincts for George W. Bush make it appear ever more likely that the real winner in 2004 should have been John Kerry. Meanwhile, indictments and prison terms are mounting among key players in that tainted contest.

How to steal the next election using the Diebold AccuVote-TS voting machine or others like it
By Rev. Bill McGinnis

Researchers at Princeton University have released a new "Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine," which finds many possibilities for election fraud in these particular voting machines. Their report also recognizes that similar problems likely exist with other direct recording electronic (DRE) voting machines, saying, "Simply put, many computer scientists doubt that paperless DREs can be made reliable and secure, and they expect that any failures of such systems would likely go undetected."

"Smoking gun" evidence uncovered in Ohio of massive vote fraud in 2004 election
By Wayne Madsen

(WMR) -- After the November 2004 presidential election, this editor reported on massive vote fraud, particularly in Ohio. The relevant articles are found here, here, here, and here. Sources within the U.S. Intelligence Community provided information on the financing -- via foreign funding sources, covert intelligence networks, and illegal pseudo-banking routes -- of programmers, election officials, and others to ensure that Bush and Cheney captured Ohio's critical 20 electoral votes.

McKinney votes stolen by Diebold; the electronic vote manipulation network and you
By Larry Chin

In her Georgia primary election, Cynthia McKinney has been forced into a run off election against a political unknown, a relative flea/cockroach, Hank Johnson. It has been confirmed that McKinney votes were stolen by Diebold machines that flipped her votes over to Johnson. Johnson�s sole qualification is that he is not McKinney. That�s enough for the powerful forces aligned against her.

The Democrats� election year stunts: A neutering in full stride
By Joshua Frank

You know you are either getting somewhere or losing ground fast when the Democrats begin to exploit your slogans during an election year. Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chair, last weekend plugged the necessity of pulling troops out of Iraq by year's end. But his plea couldn't carry less weight -- for his party doesn't agree with the doc.

Bush election theft saga heats up In Ohio
By Evelyn Pringle

Ohio Governor Bob Taft, and his partner in crime in stealing the 2004 election in Ohio, President George W Bush, have a lot in common. Bush holds one the of lowest approval ratings of any president in US history, and at a whopping 26 percent, Taft holds the title for the lowest approval rating for any Ohio governor since the University of Cincinnati started the poll 25 years ago in 1981.
