Ohio election fraud news

Any of you Monty Python fans? One of my favorite lines from the Holy Grail is "I'm not dead yet!"

Well, I received an email from Larisa of Raw Story today asking me to spread this story around.

    Ohio recount volunteers allege electoral tampering, legal violations and possible fraud

    ‘Why were there stickers on ballots in Clermont County, Ohio?’

    By Larisa Alexandrovna | RAW STORY Staff

    Serious new election tampering allegations have emerged from an Ohio county, where witnesses allege that stickers were placed on presidential election ballots, RAW STORY has learned.

    Several volunteer workers in the Ohio recount in Clermont County, Ohio have prepared affidavits alleging serious tampering, violations of state and federal law and possible fraud. They name the Republican chief of Clermont’s Board of Elections Daniel Bare and the head of the Clermont Democratic Party Priscilla O’Donnell as complicit in these acts.

    These volunteers, observing the recount on behalf of the Greens, Libertarians and Democrats, assert that during the Dec. 14, 2004 hand recount they noticed stickers covering the Kerry/Edwards oval, whereas the Bush/Cheney oval seemed to be “colored in.”
There's lots more, including photocopies of the affidavits filed so far in the case.

This is Larisa's message to readers:
    Remember my Kos "stop" post? And the article I was alluding to? It goes up tonight...it took the sources for this story a great deal of courage to come forward...if you can, ask people to email them, c/o raw story showing their support for coming forward. They really deserve our gratitude. The email for Raw Story is editor@rawstory.com.

    This should explain some of the suprise Kerry was "awakened to" when he realized his ohio people were not "his."
She is worried about the safety of the people who came forward, and wants as much light as possible on the story to help protect them. Everybody, please do what you can.

And Raw Story is promising more on this by 6 pm tonight, under the headline,
    Congressman asks for FBI investigation
Conyers??
