Ohio election fraud in the making

hard on the heels of the previous post...
Forty-nine of the 85 people who this year have given Ohio secretary of state Kenneth Blackwell the maximum $10,000 allowed an individual donor have done so since May 2. Members of Cincinnati financier Carl Lindner's family led the way by combining for $90,000. The maximum-donor list also includes Mitch Given, who is a registered lobbyist for Diebold Election Systems, one of the vendors of voting machines for election boards in Ohio.

Blackwell's office approved Diebold's selection as a vendor and negotiated the price.

blackwell, the ohio republican gubernatorial candidate, is one of the prime suspects in the election fraud so copiously researched by rfk jr... besides running his campaign, blackwell's got his hands full manipulating voter registrations prior to november...
Critics of Ohio’s new election law say Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has implemented rules that make it more difficult to register voters than the law itself does.

At a hearing yesterday, some said Blackwell’s rules would shut down voter-registration efforts in Ohio that use paid workers. Afterward, state Democrats said the rules were reminiscent of Blackwell’s 2004 edict that the paper for registration forms had to be a certain weight.

"The proposed rules from Secretary Blackwell are obstructing voter-registration efforts intended to help all Ohioans," said Raj Nayak, associate counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group at New York University School of Law.

"These rules will make it harder for Ohio citizens to register to vote and to exercise their fundamental right to the franchise."

when you set the rules, basically own the voting machines, and one of your largest campaign contributors is the manufacturer of those machines, how can you lose...? and ain't that the whole idea...?
