Warren's vote tally walled off
Alone in Ohio, officials cited homeland security

And despite being told that there would be an area with telephones set up for the media, those who tried to get into the building on Justice Drive were stopped by a county employee who stood guard outside. After journalists challenged the restriction, reporters were allowed into the building's lobby - two floors below the elections office.

Warren gave * 66,000 votes.

Warren is home to the white flight suburbanites who left Cincinnati for all white public schools and McMansions. There are probably more than a few Bush "rangers" in this county.

The reporter at the Cincinnati Enquirer whose beat this would be is Dan Horn, [e-mail]

He may be one of us, he did stories on the felon voting issue and answered an email I sent him praising that coverage.

3. Well, you better beleive it.

Thousand of votes here, thousand of votes there, that could add up, you know? "Supersizing Bush's lead"

6. Exactly the only reason Kerry conceded is the difference between

provisionals and the votes he needed was steep.

13. Perhaps they are looking into this?

the K/E campaign?

4. The question is, is the Cincinnati Enquirer doing it's job?

"The media should have been permitted into the area where there was counting," Enquirer attorney Jack Greiner said. "This is a process that should be done in complete transparency and it wasn't."

Time to contact the newsroom.
