What Happened in Ohio? [7]

A Documentary Record of Theft and Fraud in the 2004 Election

In this first comprehensive look at the most critical states voting process in the 2004 residential election, three pathbreaking investigative journalists (one a member of the legal team that sued the
state of Ohio for election fraud), compile documentary evidence of massive potential theft and fraud in the presidential voteproblems that may have changed the outcome of the presidential election in Ohio, and thus the nation.

As you can see by reviewing the documents below, What Happened in Ohio?
includes trucking receipts that show voting machines were pulled back from minority districts; ballots that contain evidence of tampering; mathematical analysis demonstrating the statistical impossibility of voting totals; testimonials from hundreds of voters, campaign workers,
and poll workers about conditions that effectively disenfranchised thousands of voters; copies of flyers instructing Democrats to vote on Wednesday; official letters sent to tens of thousands of longtime voters incorrectly informing them they had been deemed inactive and ineligible to vote; photos taken of the original exit poll data broadcast on election night before it was retroactively corrected by the networks; and much, much more.

For anyone suspicious of the Ohio vote, here's the evidence you've been waiting for.

  • Chapter 1:  Suppressing the Vote [8]

  • Chapter 2:  Election Day [9]

  • Chapter 3:  The Exit Poll Discrepancy [10]

  • Chapter 4:  Counting the Vote [11]
