So what happened to the Warren County liars who faked a terror threat

[buddysmellgood]

in order to count the votes in secret? Did everyone just shrug and walk away?

1. Apparently so! (n/t)

[FreepFryer]

2. I think that's a highlight of the GAO/Conyers investigations... cheer up!

[buddysmellgood]

10. What I don't understand is why it take Conyers to investigate this.

Shouldn't local authorities and the state justice department be investigating? I would think someone accountable could be fingered rather easily. Why would it take months and a congressman?

[FreepFryer]

11. Why do you think? Some folks like it just the way it is, uninvestigated.

12. GOOD question, after all -- Blackwell's job description states that he

The Job Description of the Secretary of State in Ohio: http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos /

************
Conyers was right to direct questions at him -- but the fact that it wasn't many local people (Besides Tubbs-Jones and all of the FreePress Folk), and certainlym not many (if at all) law enforcement people sits hollow in my stomach. Like how I felt when I woke up to the announcement that * won.... and I knew that something was very, very wrong...

3. Yes, it was shrugged off....no big deal...

After all its ok if you're a republican.

4. KO was the only corporate media to cover it.

A fictitious SCALE 10 'lockdown' on election nght, in the deciding state, at a time when the vote returns are coming in suspect...and no one cares enough to find out what the hell is going on.

9. it was mentioned (only mentioned) on NPR in the weeks following the

election -- but no one ever did any follow-up it seems.

[KaliTracy]

5. I believe Conyers is quite concerned about that and other things

which is why he will not let this die until answers are given, and people are punished.

6. Shhh.

Shut your mouth and turn on Fox!

7. File a complaint with the FBI

this is the sort of thing they should be jumping all over, if they were serious about fighting terrorism. The people who spread this disinformation are terrorists too.

[merh]

8. Asswipe just left office yesterday

they say he wants to spend time with the family, but I think he is lobbying to have the age limit for American Idol done away with and will be trying out in 2006. :shrug:
