Secretary of Election Fraud, Kenneth Blackwell

Mr. Blackwell has been busy ducking a deposition in a lawsuit regarding election fraud from the Ohio Supreme Court. And then his buddy, Richard Congianese, Ohio Assistant Attorney General, is trying to get a court order so Mr. Blackwell doesn't have to testify under oath.

James R. Dicks, Miami County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, also filed a motion to block subpoenas in ten key Ohio counties. Other local election officials slated to be deposed, such as in Claremont County, have also refused to answer attorney questions.

Meanwhile, the Election Protection legal team has collected new statements under oath describing more voting and vote-counting problems on November 2.

Ya think they have something to hide??

But the funniest part of this article is this:

On January 12, 2005, Blackwell is scheduled to speak at the exclusive Scioto Country Club on the topic of “Ethics in Leadership.” Blackwell became nationally known after disenfranchising voters who had not registered on 80-pound bond paper stock under an archaic Ohio law. He reversed longstanding Ohio tradition that allowed voters to cast provisional votes by county by ruling that none of these votes would be counted unless the voter was in the right precinct. He also was recently censured for running a “get out the vote” campaign for Issue One, a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and spousal benefits.

Blackwell speaking on Ethics in Leadership. Ha! I almost peed my pants when I read that.
