(2005-08-05) Taibbi Conyers Ohio

Matt Taibbi on JohnConyers's Preserving Democracy report on the apparent Election Tampering in Ohio during the last Presidential Election (Presidential Candidates 2004).

Robert F Kennedy Jr on the same issue.

Jul'2007 update: Two-thirds of Ohio counties have destroyed or lost their 2004 presidential ballots and related election records... The lost records violate Ohio law, which states federal election records must be kept for 22 months after Election Day, and a U.S. District Court order issued last September that the 2004 ballots be preserved while the court hears a civil rights lawsuit alleging voter suppression of African American voters in Columbus... The presidential ballots and election records were lost, misplaced, damaged by water, taken to landfills - all apparently by mistake, due to miscommunications, or because the local election administrators were not aware of the state ballot preservation law or the federal court order, according to letters to Brunner's office from the various county election boards.
