Pre-punched ballots; touch-screen vote switching; more absentee
votes than absentee voters; unfair provisional voter
deletions; change of voting sites on Election Day. voter
suppression; voter intimidation; double voting; malfunctioning
machines; recalibrated machines; evidently rigged machines; and even 25
million negative votes registered in some races in Mahoning County!
Those were among the problematic incidents shared at a 3-hour public
hearing on vote irregularities in the Mahoning Valley held on December
21 at the Warren-Trumbull Public Library. Panelists taking voter
testimony included Rev. Rick Judy of Mahoning County; Rev. Werner Lange
of Trumbull County; Ray Nakley, an officer of the Arab-American
Community Center in Youngstown; and Russ Buckbee, Green Party
coordinator for NE Ohio. Evidence that this was a stolen election even comes from published reports
regarding curious developments in the Mahoning Valley on Election
Day. "We've never seen anything like this
before" Mark Munroe, Chairman of the Mahoning County Board of Election
is quoted as saying in the November 3rd edition of The
Vindicator. Munroe confirmed that vote switching problems
occurred in at least 16 precincts and involved some 20 to 30 ES&S
machines that "needed to be recalibrated during the voting process
because some votes for a candidate were being counted for that
candidate's opponent". [more]
