01 06 05 Examples from a “Summary of Key Points to Emphasize with Senators Levin and Stabenow on the 2004 Election Challenge by US Senators and Members of Congress”

  • The abuse in Florida 2000 and Georgia 2002 has expanded to Ohio and other states in 2004. Please read “Ten Preliminary Reasons Why the Bush Vote Does Not Compute, and Why Congress Must Investigate Rather Than Certify the Electoral College” at http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2005/1065
  • Election Fraud is now a political tactic used regularly by Republicans.

    • Examples from Rep. Conyers’ Democratic House Judiciary Investigation:

  • Sworn affidavit by Clinton Curtis, the computer programmer for Wang Enterprises in Florida who in 2000 wrote the computer program code to hack the votes in the touch screen voting machines for the RNC chair in Florida.

    • Pages 100-110, http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2005/1064

  • Disparities in Exit Polls conducted by Mitofsky, who also did the Ukraine evaluation, which were way beyond the margin of error in Ohio.
  • The partial recount was not random, comprehensive or transparent.
  • Frequent and massive suppression of likely Democratic voters across Ohio.

    • See www.house.gov/conyers for documents.
