Ohio Winner Officially Still in Question

Ohio Winner Officially Still in Question
By Afi-Odelia E. Scruggs

Posted December 1, 2004 -- Almost a month has passed since American voters handed President George W. Bush a second term, and in Ohio, the state that clinched his victory, controversy over the outcome still simmers.

Independent voter advocacy groups and candidates from small, alternative political parties dispute the results that say Bush beat his Democratic challenger, John Kerry, by roughly 136,000 votes.

They cite exit polls that pointed to a Kerry victory and say Bush supporters used a number of questionable tactics to win the state. They also contend that long lines and faulty machinery helped suppress the vote in predominately African-American and other precincts that were prone to vote Democratic. Observers are also keeping an eye on approximately 155,000 provisional ballots that were given to voters whose names did not appear on the electoral rolls.

Their efforts include:
• A request by David Cobb and Michael Badnarik, presidential candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, respectively, for a recount of all ballots after votes. Cobb and Badnarik must raise about $113,000 to pay for the tally. Ohio law allows a candidate to have ballots recounted if the candidate pays the expenses.
• A suit by People for the American Way, a national civil rights and constitutional liberties group, asking that 8,000 provisional ballots rejected by the Cuyahoga County board of election officials be included in the county’s final vote count. The lawsuit said the ballots should have been checked against voter registration cards instead of “electronic roll voting lists, which are known to contain errors.” Cleveland is in Cuyahoga County. .
• A series of hearings to collect testimony on alleged irregularities and foul-ups at the polls. The sessions were conducted in Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, three major Democratic strongholds.

Some of those questioning the election say they don’t expect to change the outcome. Instead, they want to make sure Ohio in 2004 didn’t mirror Florida in 2000, where Blacks were systematically kept from casting their ballots.

Toledo attorney Dick Kerger, who represented Cobb and Badnarik, was familiar with various conspiracy theories that say Kerry, not Bush won in Ohio. Kerger, said his clients only wanted to make sure the electoral process was clear and transparent.

“Until we do that, we’re going to have the opportunity for these [conspiracy theories] to develop,” he said.”

But other challengers were more outspoken.

“The Republican motivation was to reduce Democratic vote,” said Cliff Arnebeck of legal affairs director for Ohio Common Cause. The non-profit organization has been at the forefront of challenges to the election outcome.

Arnebeck said his group will ask the Ohio Supreme Court to overturn the election.

“In Florida there was targeting of Black voters by skewing the felony lists in 2000. “The same thing applies (in Ohio) but the efforts were different,” he said.

But Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for the Ohio Secretary of State’s office, said the challenges are premature. He noted the county boards of election are still in the process of verifying ballots, and have until Dec. 1. to give their totals to the state officials. The secretary of state will certify the election between Dec. 3 and 6, LoParo said.

News of the challengers’ efforts is seeping beyond Ohio’s borders.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson has called for the Congress to look into the state’s election process.

And the General Accountability Office, which oversees the workings of the federal government, has agreed to investigate the procedures used to tally votes in the national election. Democratic legislators requested the investigation.

Kerry 'Betrayed' Voters By Giving Up Too Quick

Kerry 'Betrayed' Voters By Giving Up Too Quick, Jackson Says

Posted December 6, 2004 –Sen. John Kerry “betrayed the trust of voters” when he conceded to President Bush before all the votes were counted in Ohio, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday in calling for a “full and thorough investigation” into election results in the state.

“We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to see that every vote counts and whether Kerry gets the most votes or not, we must break a precedent of fraudulent elections,” Jackson said in an interview with Independent Media.

More than a month after Election Day, there is still uncertainty surrounding which candidate won the popular vote. Jackson blames inconsistent election laws for the confusion that has delayed the results.

“In the spring of the year, a provisional ballot, you could vote any place in the country. By September, by November, Secretary of State had shifted it to you only vote in the precinct, and with some precincts changing, it created big frustrations. So 155,000 ballots haven’t still been counted,” he said.

Jackson suggests a constitutional amendment that secures citizens’ right to vote. “We need the constitutional right to vote for President federally protected. We do not have the constitutional right to vote for president. We only have the state’s right to vote,” Jackson said, noting that state laws vary and federal laws would create more uniformity in the voting process nationwide.

Several advocacy groups and politicians, including candidates from the Green and Libertarian parties who are raising money to finance the effort, want the Ohio ballots to be recounted.

Industry Deal Set on Allowing Limited DVD Copying

2004-08-09T21:12:00.000-07:00

A group of media and technology companies including Microsoft Corp. and Walt Disney Co. have agreed in principle to allow consumers to make legal backup copies of next-generation video discs and share their content on portable devices.

The group, which also includes International Business Machines Corp., Intel Corp., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. and Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros., will not have any technology to license until the end of the year.

But the announcement, released late on Tuesday, marks a shift in the way the movie industry has reacted to the threat of online piracy of its films.

Current DVDs are protected by a system called CSS, for content scrambling system, which prevents copying. The computer and consumer electronics industry have pushed to allow less-encumbered sharing of media between TVs, computers, and portable players.

The new alliance has named its yet-to-be-developed content protection technology "Advanced Access Content System." The system will be available to be licensed later this year.

Next-generation DVDs are expected to deliver superior video and audio, although technology and media companies have yet to reach a consensus on which of the competing DVD formats will prevail as the industry standard.

Bush goofs again

2004-08-06T18:47:00.000-07:00

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of "Bushisms" on Thursday, declaring that his administration will "never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people."

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.

The president was working his way toward a larger point. "We must never stop thinking about how best to defend our country. We must always be forward-thinking," he said.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's misstatement "just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak."

"But the American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction, and the terrorists know by his actions he means it," McClellan said.

Wednesday Movies

2004-07-29T08:15:00.000-07:00

Watched The Big Bounce, it was pretty funny, but not as good as I thought it was gonna be.
Hellboy didn't have as much action as I thought it would, it needed more odd characters, monsters and needed less humor cause its not a comedy.

Both are worth renting, but don't buy them.

I give both movies 3 out of 5 stars!

I downloaded this off mIRC last night and I must say "WOW"! I knew bush family was corrupt, but this shows how bad. Its sad how congress silenced the african americans and repeatedly told them shutup and sit down.
Good thing bush's poll numbers are steadly going down, I'll make $100 once bush isnt re-elected on a bet I have.
Some will say this film is lies, but those are the very one's who haven't or will not watch it!
