Excerpts:
According to a notarized affidavit signed by Clint Curtis, while he was employed by the NASA Kennedy Space Center contractor, Yang Enterprises, Inc., during 2000, Feeney solicited him to write a program to "control the vote."
An exhaustive investigation has turned up a evidence between current Florida Republican Representative Tom Feeney, a customized Windows-based program to suppress Democratic votes on touch screen voting machines, a Florida computer services company with whom Feeney worked as a general counsel and registered lobbyist while he was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and top level officials of the Bush administration.

Were The Votes Properly Counted In Ohio and Elsewhere?
Report
Since the election, I have received thousands of emails from Americans from all across the country expressing their opinions that they do not believe the votes were properly counted on election day in Ohio, Florida and other states. Many forwarded links to data supporting their opinions. Some of this so called information I found amusing. However, some of this information was simply to credible to dismiss.
Before I go any futher, I want to clarify something right off the bat. I have not written this column to create a controversy or to support a conspiracy theory in rigged voting. I could care less who actually won. The bottom line is very simple... the question is....were the votes properly counted for the correct candidates? If that did not happen, then there is a huge problem in this country of what our democracy is suppose to stand for.
Whether you be from the Republican, Democrat, Independent or Green party, as you read the information and facts in this column keep that simple truth in mind. This has nothing to do with party. It has to do with truth and justice, plain and simple. And quite frankly, if you do not want to accept that truth in how to look at this, then in my opinion, you do not stand for the American way of Democracy. Furthermore, if you sit idly by and do nothing to seek out the truth, then I feel sorry for you as an American. You simply don't get it. Now is not the time to simply sit back and say..."Oh well."
In this column you will read an in-depth analysis of the voting results posted 11-7-2004 by the State of Ohio for the Ohio election results. It is because of the irregularities that began to surface that this in-depth analysis was performed. But first here are a few examples of the irregularities that you have not heard about on the major networks because of a news blackout concerning this on the major networks.
On Saturday, November 13, the Ohio Election Protection Coalition’s public hearings in Columbus solicited extensive sworn first-person testimony from 32 of Ohio voters, precinct judges, poll workers, legal observers, party challengers. An additional 66 people provided written affidavits of election irregularities. The unavoidable conclusion is that this year's election in Ohio was deeply flawed, that thousands of Ohioans were denied their right to vote, and that the ultimate vote count is very much in doubt of just who really won Ohio.
The testimony has also revealed a widespread and concerted effort on the part of Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell to deny primarily African-American and young voters the right to cast their ballots within a reasonable time. By depriving precincts of adequate numbers of functioning voting machines, Blackwell created waits of three to eleven hours, driving tens of thousands of likely Democratic voters away from the polls and very likely affecting the outcome of the Ohio vote count, which in turn decided the national election.
On November 17, Blackwell wrote an op-ed piece for Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Washington Times, stating: "Every eligible voter who wanted to vote had the opportunity to vote. There was no widespread fraud, and there was no disenfranchisement. A half-million more Ohioans voted than ever before with fewer errors than four years ago, a sure sign on success by any measure," Blackwell wrote. Moon's extreme right wing Unification Church has long-standing ties to the Bush Family and the Central Intelligence Agency.
As Blackwell supervised the Ohio vote he also served as co-chair of the Ohio Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, a clear conflict of interest that casts further doubt on how the Ohio election and vote counts have been conducted.
Werner Lange, a pastor from Youngstown, Ohio, stated in testimony, "In precincts 1 A and 5 G, voting at Hillman Elementary School, which is a predominantly African American community, there were woefully insufficient number of voting machines in three precincts. I was told that the standard was to have one voting machine per 100 registered voters. Precinct A had 750 registered voters. Precinct G had 690. There should have been 14 voting machines at this site. There were only 6, three per precinct, less than 50 percent of the standard. This caused an enormous bottleneck among voters who had to wait a very, very long time to vote, many of them giving up in frustration and leaving. . . . I estimate, by the way, that an estimated loss of over 8,000 votes from the African American community in the City of Youngstown alone, with its 84 precincts, were lost due to insufficient voting machines, and that would translate to some 7,000 votes lost for John Kerry for President in Youngstown alone."
Here are examples of irregularities in Ohio that have been reported by the Associated Press.
Votes Given To Bush in Error
In Columbus Ohio, an error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said. Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct. Bush's total should have been recorded as 365.
Ohio Secretary Kenneth Blackwell Nullifies Votes In Ohio
Kenneth Blackwell in Ohio has nullified 233 punch card votes after a poll worker, attempting to relieve voting congestion, took a punch machine from Precinct 3B to Precinct3A for his voters. This is unbelievable that someone would actually move a voting machine from one precinct to another during an election.
In doing additional research, I have found the following:
What is alarming are the current 33,371 incidents recorded through the Election Incident Reporting System -
http://verifiedvoting.org/eirs.
Incidents have been reported in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
The EIRE is a coalition of approximately 60 organizations that have been accepting voter incidents and complaints.
Here are a couple of those organizations:
VoteProtect.org has registered 1,712 Incidents Nationwide of voting irregularities

In addition, I recently received several disturbing emails from journalist colleagues that work for various major news media outlets. Basically, what I've been told is that the decision makers at these major news media outlets decided there would be no reporting on any voting incidents or possible voter fraud. This causes me great alarm that the 5 major corporations that control 70% of the media in this country have taken this stance. What you are going to read in this column, you will not see on the Nightly News because the major news outlet had clamped down on any reporting of this.
In Ohio these are just some of the incidents that have been reported at various precincts within these counties.
These are actual quotes from the incidents reported.
In Lucas county, "optical scanners broken. There's an emergency slot on the machine to store ballots, but it's full. Poll workers are removing ballots from the machine and storing in a brown cardboard box; telling voters that they will be scanned and counted later."
In Franklin county, "voter denied ballot because he was registered as independent in primary. Was finally allowed to vote. Voting machine did not allow him to vote for president, or for school board."
In Franklin county, "voter reported that Kerry light on the machine would not light up. Poll worker said that she would write it in later."
In Franklin county, "voters being turned away - machines are broken - they took name and phone # - poll workers said they would call back voters. None were called back. About 65 people total."
In Mahoning county, "voting machine not working; needed help to get machine to work; arrow moves to other candidates repeatedly; left hand on left side."
In Lucas county, "voting machine would not accept any ballots - paper ballots were collected."
In Franklin county, "went in and tried to vote for president, but nothing lit up even though he pressed an option. Pressed "vote" and the machine went to the next screen. Complained to official and was told that there was nothing they could do."
In Cuyahoga county, "3 of 9 voting machines in the precinct are broken. On 2 of the machines - when you pressed Kerry, it would register Bush."
In Lucas county, "machine not working, had to drop ballot in a slot on the side of the machine."
In Franklin county, "every machine is down - no voting allowed."
In Franklin county, "machines on battery - no electricity - 2 hours for batteries - worried machines are going to lose count.
In Lucas county, Ballot #220 came up 180. 177-178-179-180 ballot numbers don't match machine number. Concern that numbers aren't correct because of a jam. 2 Republican officials inside building, 1 Democrat inside."
In Mahoning county, "one of the three machines (#v0112442-C) in the precint was not properly recording votes. It was brought to the attention of presiding judge. Board of Elections was contacted and the machine was recalibrated by BOE employee at 9:35 a.m. It lost votes after being recalibrated. The machine was not closed between 7:40 a.m. and the time of recalibration so for over two hours the machine was not counting votes properly."
In Mahoning county, "man reported voting for one candidate but computer marked other candidate. This happened to him three times before he was finally able to submit his correct vote. "
In Mahoning county, "each time screen is touched for one party, it bounces to opposite party."
In Cuyahoga county, "Precinct 4-A has a faulty machine that doesn't punch through completely about 15-20% of the time. The precinct needs two more poll workers by rush hour. Judge Haynes has asked for the workers, but hasn't gotten them. because lines were extremely long this morning."
In Mahoning county, "voting machine number V0107749-C malfunctioning, screen flashes and scrolls, shows different results or no results. Was reported to officials, they did nothing."
In Mahoning county, "pressed Kerry button, another candidate came up (not Bush)! Third try and it finally it worked."
In Mahoning county, in one precinct, 20 incidents where voters tried to vote for Kerry but Bush came up.
In Mahoning county, "every time I tried to vote for the Democratic Party Presidential vote the machine went blank. I had to keep trying, it took 5 tries for it to take my vote."
In Mahoning county, "caller stated that machine (electronic) repeatedly marked her Democratic vote as Republican. Election worker had to restart and re-calibrate machine. States that many voters complained of this problem as they walked out of polling place as she was standing in line. She reported this to the Democratic Headquarters. She's worried her vote wasn't counted. Machine#V0114343-C."
In Franklin county, "voter used electronic voting system. She and other voters noticed two of the three booths had electronic counters which increased as each voter used it. However, the third booth's counting system did not increase. It was reported to election officials but election officials continued to allow use of the booth."
In Franklin county, officials refused to provide Provisional ballots.
In Franklin county, "7:30 AM - all three machines not working. Polls did not open on time. Poll workers taking names and numbers and telling people they will call them when they can vote. 3 people report they were never called and went back later that afternoon and polls were finally open at this precinct."
In Franklin county," voter reported that Kerry light on the machine would not light up. Poll worker said that he "would write it in later."
In Auglaize County, Ohio, in October, a former employee of Election Systems and Software (ES&S), the company that provides the voting system in Auglaize County, was allegedly on the main computer that is used to create the ballot and compile election results, which would go against election protocol. He was later fired and there has been no explanation as to why he was fired.
On this one trouble slip from a precinct in Ohio, Trouble Slip the person actually got the okay to re-format the hard drive on the voting machine, which as you know deleted all previous vote totals.
It is because of the irregularities and incidents that were reported that I decided to investigate this matter further.
There are many ways in which data from sources can be analyzed. However, what is most important is the type of data and how it is compared to other data. I decided to use the following data from Ohio to analyze the elections results from Ohio.

Before I expand on the Ohio data analysis results, listed briefly are other voting irregularities that have been found in other states.
Florida
UsTogether.org
has reported strange irregularites.
While the heavily scrutinized touch-screen voting machines in Florida seemed to produce results in which the registered Democrat/Republican ratios largely matched the Kerry/Bush vote, in Florida's counties using optically scanned paper ballots the results seem to contain severe anomalies. Mathematicians are in the process of investigating the November 2004 election results in Florida. Here is example of some very strong irregularities:
In Baker County, where 69.3% of the voters are registered as Democratic, Bush supposedly won by a 7,738 to 2,180 margin. For this to be possible, Bush would have had to have gotten the votes of every single Republican and 4,500 of the roughly 7,000 Democrats and independents.
In Calhoun County, where 82.4% of voters are Democrat, Putsch won the vote by a 3,780 to 2,116 margin. There are less than a thousand Republicans in that county.
In Bradford County: 61.4% are Democrats... Bush supposedly won by 7,553 to 3,244.
In Dixie county, roughly 1,500 Republicans were able to deliver 4,433 votes
for Bush. And supposedly the 7,700 Democrats only have 1,959 votes to Kerry?
It goes on and on. Florida has a lot of counties, and nearly all of them show these discrepancies. In all, Democrats came up short by about 430,000 votes, and the Republicans had 1,023,000 more votes than the models would
have predicted.
An analysis reported on by Thom Hartmann found that in Florida, in the smaller counties in which optically scanned ballots were counted on a central computer, the results were quite surprising. For example, in Franklin County with 77.3 percent registered Democrats, 58.5 percent went to Bush. In Holmes County, with 72.7 percent registered Democrats, 77.25 percent went to Bush. "Yet in the larger counties," Hartmann noted, "where such anomalies would be more obvious to the news media, high percentages of registered Democrats equaled high percentages of votes for Kerry. Despite that elections officials have not noticed these anomalies, in aggregate they are enough to swing Florida from Kerry to Bush. If you simply go through the analysis of these counties and reverse the 'anomalous' numbers in those counties that appear to have been hacked, suddenly the Florida election results resemble the Florida exit poll results: Kerry won, and won big."
According to Hartmann, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 16th District, Jeff Fisher, claims to have evidence of hacking that would explain these results. Fisher is supposedly turning that evidence over to the FBI. Beverly Harris of BlackBoxVoting.org explained how easy such hacking is on the CNBC show some months back.
On November 18th, a research team at UC Berkeley reported Thursday morning that irregularities associated with electronic voting machines may have awarded 130,000 - 260,000 or more in excess votes to President George W. Bush in Florida in the 2004 presidential election. The study showed an unexplained discrepancy between votes for President Bush in counties where electronic voting machines were used versus counties using traditional voting methods.
In my analysis below for Ohio, you will see what they are talking about in Ohio as well.
But let's get back to the Ohio results and the data looked at.
Voting By Machine Types Varies By Percentage In Counties
The following graph spreadsheet below lists by county the population for each county, comparing the 2000 election to the 2004 election. Race figures are broken down as well. The population figures were taken from the 2000 Census for Ohio, and the estimated 2003 population also from the U.S. Census Department.
The 2000 population and registered voters are listed and compared to the 2004 population and registered voters for each county. Each county reflects an increase or decrease.
31 counties experienced a total population decrease of approximately 84,188, or an average of 1.53% population decrease overall in the 31 counties. There was an increase of registered voters of 51,860 from 2000 to 2004 or and increase of 1.39% of registered voters in these counties: 3,739,726 registered voters in 2000 versus 3,791,586 registered voters in 2004. The turnout rate was 70.10% of registered voters voted, or 2,658,214 votes cast.
Total population in these counties in 2000 was, 5,503,963 with 4,377,878 White, 922,934 Black, 119,753 Hispanic and 203,751 of Asian or of two or more races. The 2003 estimated population dropped to 5,419,775. No breakdowns according to race were available for 2003 estimated population so percentages were applied based on growth of population in that county accordingly by race.
According to total votes cast in these 31 counties,2,658,214, Kerry took 10 of these 31 counties with1,402,166 , [51.75%] votes compared to Bush taking 21 counties with, 1,193,402 votes,[ 44.89%] of the vote. 62,646 votes, [2.36%] when to other candidates on the ballot. Kerry won overall in these 31 counties but by only 208,764 votes or 7.85%. In these counties, the Black population was approximately 16.7%, Hispanic population was 2.18%, Other races were 3.70%, leaving approximately, 77.47% of the population White.
What is interesting in these 31 counties, in two of them, Belmont and Monroe, where the Black population/registered voters was .05%, approximately 1,818 votes, Kerry took Belmont with 17,256 votes or 51.58% of the votes cast, Monroe with 4,164 votes or 53.00% of the votes cast. Between these two counties that was 2,775 more votes when there was only approximately only 1,818 registered black votes. I am pointing this out because this shows that the white population was voting for Kerry, however, this does not show up in other counties. In these two counties the excuse that the black vote won Kerry in these counties cannot be used. Isn't this odd that in these two counties it shows a high percentage of white voters voting for Kerry, but not it others?
In these 31 counties, approximately 55,625 provisional ballots were still to counted in the counties that Kerry took,
What is puzzling in these counties are these findings from the analysis.
There were 347,309 more votes cast in 2004 than in 2000. Votes for the Republican candidate increased in 2004 by 12.67% 151,261 more republican votes casts when compared to the 2000 votes cast. However Democrats showed a 14.89% increase in votes in 2004 over 2000, 208,744 more Democrat votes.
In 2000, in these counties 61.79% of registered voters voted. In 2004, that percentage increased to 70.11%, or 8.32% more registered voters voted in 2004 than in 2000.
The total votes in these counties represented 42.68% of the overall votes cast for Bush among all counties. For Kerry, it was 52.72%. Votes for other candidates was 3.12% of total votes cast for other candidates.
Jefferson County experienced a 10.17% decrease in population or 5,553 less people living in the county. Taken from Ohio State election records, there were 5,623 less registered voters as compared to the 2000 election. Yet, the votes cast for Bush was 12.30% above the 2000 votes cast, or 1,849 votes higher, while Kerry experienced only a 6.78% increase or 1,188 vote increase. These numbers simply do not not add up.
When checking to see what type of voting method was used in Jefferson County, it was the good old punch card system like that which was used in Florida by Election Systems Software Inc. This is known to have an error rate of as much as 15%.
The counties that were won by Bush are highlighted in "yellow" in the population columns. These are additional examples that something is not right in Ohio. For example, in Marion County, Bush took the county. However, the findings from this analysis do not support that.
In Marion, the population increased from 66,217 in 2000 to 66,396 in 2003 Ohio estimates. This was approximately, a 179 population increase. Registered voters increased from 41,788 in 2000 to 43,423 in 2004. or a whopping 1,535 increase in registered voters. Marion's Black, Hispanic and other races population totaled 6,044 or approximately 9.10% of the population. Total votes cast in 2000 was 24,815 or 59.38% of registered voters voted. In 2004, total votes cast were 28,762, or 66.29% of registered voters voted, an increase of 10.42%. However, according to votes cast in 2004, there was a 22.85% increase over 2000, or 3,112 in votes cast for the Republican ticket, as compared to only an increase of 10.82%, or 1,122 votes for the Democrat ticket. when compared to 2000. If you take the 10.42% increase in registered voters voting in 2004, and look at Kerry's low 10.82% of increase votes, this actually represents that Kerry only received approximately .40% of the increased voters voting, [10.82% increase in registered voters (minis) the 10.42% increase in voters in 2004].
When you compare this low .40% net increase to Bush's net gain of 12.03%, [22.85% increased votes over 2000 (minus) the 10.42% in increased registered voters = 12.03%], this is simply too hard to believe that Kerry only received less than 1/2 of one percent of new registered voters in this county.
Futhermore, 29 precincts in Cuyahoga County, reported votes cast in excess of the number of registered voters by at least 93,136 extra votes total. These numbers are posted on the official Cuyahoga County Board of Elections website:
http://boe.cuyahogacounty.us/BOE/results/currentresults1.htm#top

Something is terribly wrong here.
Kerry lost Ohio by approximately 130,000, so this is not an insignificant figure that can be ignored.
There are many similar questionable anomalies in other counties as well.
In the graph spreadsheets below, you will notice (10) other counties that are red in the county column, representing that Bush won this county. However, in the population columns for these counties, the race totals are highlighted in yellow. These counties are similar to the anomalies found in Marion county. Pay attention also to the far right column that reflects a decrease in registered voters when computed to population in that county. One in particular was Athens county showing a 7.66% decrease in registered voters to population. Yet, this county was won by Kerry with a 7.01% decrease in registered voters to population.

Votes By Voting Method ~ Registered Voters ~ Total Votes For Candidates
Below is the data above that has been grouped by voting type methods. It has been expanded to include the number of registered voters by voting machine type with the total number of counties involved, the total votes casts on the various voting machines types and the percentage breakdown of votes going to Bush and Kerry by voting machine type and counties. This data was taken from the un-official results from the Ohio State website on 11-5-2004. As of 11-5-2004, the data for each county was showing 85,228 provisional ballots still to be counted.
The total of provisional ballots for each voting method type is listed also.
Under each grouping are the results of where the votes went to each candidate by race,etc. as explained earlier.
But first, this needs to be explained so you understand how we arrived a our analysis of the Ohio vote 2004.
How The Total Votes For Each Race Group
White, Black, Hispanic and Other Races Was Computed:
Population precentages for each race group per county was computed using the 2003 U.S. Census population. [released April 2004], figures for each county. Population for each county by race was then determined. Using the percentage of 74.60%, [ from the U.S. Census ], of the population that is over 18 and eligible to vote, it was then determined per county how many in each race group was eliglible to vote.
Taking the registered voters in each county versus the calculated race population in each county, and applying the race percentages for each race group, it was determined in each county how many votes were of each race group. Taking the total of registered voters in each county, these percentages by race was applied to arrive at the number of eligible votes over 18 per race Using the turnout rate, votes cast versus total of registered voters, this established approximately how many out of each race group voted. This is the total votes you are seeing calculated for each race group for each county.
How The Total Votes From Each Race Group Were Allocated To The Candidates:
Using surveys taken on the Black, Hispanic and Other race communites is how the percentages were arrived at to allocate to each candidate, Bush, Kerry and Other Candidates. One such prestigious survey is the recent Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies poll study on the black vote for 2004. Conducted between September 15th and October 10th, 2004, 1,642 blacks from all walks of life were surveyed concerning who they would vote for in this election.
You can download the study here: [ it is a large .pdf file and will take sometime to download ].
http://www.jointcenter.org/publications/details/opinion-poll/nop-Politics.pdf
In the Joint Center study, it was determined that 78% of blacks would be voting for Kerry, 16% for Bush, 2% for other candidates. 4% were undecided. This 4% was split between Bush and Kerry. In the calculations, 80% of the black vote was calculated going to Kerry, 18% to Bush and 2% to other candidates. These percentages that the Joint Center found were very close to polls taken across the country as well both before and after the election among the black community.
Using several Hispanic surveys from six regions of the country, it was determined that 44% would be voting for Bush on an average and 53% would be voting for Kerry, with 3% voting for other candidates.
Using several other race surveys, it was determined that 30% of other races would be voting for Bush, 69% for Kerry and 1% for other candidates.
Using the calculated total votes per Black, Hispanic and other races as explained above, the following percentages were applied to arrive at the total votes for Blacks, Hispanics and other races for each candidate.
Since it was known how many total votes were cast in each county, the above totals for each race per candidate was subtracted from the total votes per Republican and Democat votes cast. This left a remaining total of White votes to be calculated between Bush and Kerry. Using the total percentage that the Republicans and Democrat vote received in each county, this percentage was applied to the remaining white race votes remaining in each county for each candidate, resulting in the totals in the analysis.
This is an in-depth analysis of the votes in Ohio by county, by race, by candidate and is very accurate, reflecting where the votes went from each race and to which candidate.
In doing such an in-depth analysis by county, then grouping the various voting type methods, a set of percentages alarming percentages began to emerge that provides some startling evidence that the vote in Ohio evidently was not properly calculated for each candidate.
In the analysis, one sees an example in this pattern:
In punch card type voting supplied by Triad Governmental Systems Inc. in 41 counties in Ohio, the results show that Kerry only received 42.64% of the actual vote in those counties. And it gets worse. Punch card voting supplied by
Fidlar Doubleday Software Inc. in 2 counties show that Kerry only received 40.91% of the actual vote. Optical scan voting in 10 counties supplied by Election Systems Software Inc. show Kerry only received 36.25% of the actual vote in those counties. And it gets even worse.
In 1 county which used Election Systems Software new electronic voting machine, Kerry is showing only receiving 25.43% of the actual vote.
In 3 counties using new electronic voting supplied by Microvote Software, Kerry is showing only receiving 39.31% of the vote. Yet, in another county using electronic voting supplied by Election Systems Software, Kerry received 61.77% of the actual vote. The difference between the two later types of electronic voting is this.
The 3 counties showing 39.31% for Kerry , total votes casts for all candidate was 80,642. 91.90% of that vote came from White voters. 6.76% came from Black race voters. The election county results show 61.77% for Kerry of total votes cast for a total of 131,938 votes. 79.00% of the vote came from White voters, 17.58% came from Black voters.
Lets look at these two examples in depth.
Example A: 3 counties with 91.90% White voters, 6.76% Black voters, 39.31% of all votes went to Kerry.
Example B: 1 county with 79.00% White voters, 17.58% Black voters, 61.77% of all votes went to Kerry.
Example A had 12.90% more White voters, or 30,121 than Example B. Example B had 10.82% or 17,748 more Black Voters than Example A. At 80% of the Black vote voting for Kerry, this would represent Kerry picking up approximately 14,198 more black votes in Example B than in Example A groupings. However, Bush would have picked up 5,421 White votes as well. This is a net difference in favor of Kerry of 8,777 votes. In example A, the 3 counties had 80,642 total votes cast, while example B had 131,938 total votes cast, a difference of 51,296 votes.
There is no way that Kerry could have received 61.77% of the actual vote in Example B.
I am presenting this example first concerning Kerry so that no one can accuse me that I am presenting this data to favor any candidate. This analysis was not performed to favor one candidate over the other. This analysis was performed to show if the votes were properly calculated in Ohio for the correct candidates.
There are other anomalies such as these that have been discovered by doing this in-depth analysis of race, population and votes. As described above, there are some counties where Kerry should have received more votes and where Bush should have received more votes. The numbers reflect that something was amiss in Ohio on election day.
In a New York Times article titled "Computer Voting Is Open to Easy Fraud," it presented the troubling results of a detailed study by Johns Hopkins University. The study stated the following: "We found some stunning, stunning flaws. The systems....could be tricked by anyone with $100 worth of computer equipment. Ballots could be altered by anyone with access to a machine, so that a voter might think he is casting a ballot for one candidate while the vote is recorded for an opponent."

Here in Franklin, you have 26.79% of the population is Black, Hispanic or Other. There were 515,472 votes cast.
The actual votes from the election results show that Kerry got 53.46% of the white vote, and Bush 45.43% of the white vote. However, when you look at Augalize above, you see that Kerry supposedly only received 44.063% of the white vote. This doesn't come close to polls and studies taken in Ohio concerning who people were going to vote for. One can easily come to the conclusion that in Auglaize county something is amiss with the white vote not being properly calculated for the correct candidate.

In Knox, Pickaway and Ross counties, 6.82% of the population is Black, Hispanic or Other. There were 80,472 votes cast. Actual results from the election results show that Bush got 58.88% of the total vote and Bush 39.31% of the total vote. However, when you look at Augalize above where Kerry supposedly only received 24.560% to Kerry's 36.000% of the white vote in these 3 counties and Kerry's 44.063% of the white vote in Franklin county. This again does not appear to be correct even if you apply a + or - 3.0% error rate. One can easily see that not only in Knox, Pickaway and Ross counties that something is amiss with the white vote, but that with Augalize where Kerry supposedly only received 24.560% of the white vote. Something is definitely amiss here.

Here in Lake county, again you have 6.31% of the population that is Black, Hispanic or Other. According to the actual voting results, Bush received 50.68% of the total vote and Kerry receivev 48.03%. However, when you look at Augalize above, Kerry received 25.430% of the white vote. In Konx, Pickaway and Ross, Kerry received 36.000% of the white vote. In Franklin Kerry received 44.063% of the white vote. Here in Lake county, Kerry received 47.033% of the white vote. These significant differences in the white vote between these counties is showing that something is not correct.

Provisional Ballots Still To Be Counted: 2,717 for this type of voting and counties
Here in Mahoning county, you have 21.92% of the population is Black, Hispanic or Other. There were 131,938 votes cast. Actual election results show that Bush received 36.66% of the white vote, and Bush 61.77% of the white vote. However, when Augalize county is compared where Kerry received 25.43% of the white vote to Knox, Pickaway and Ross, Kerry received 36.000% of the white vote. In Franklin county, Kerry received 44.063% of the white vote compared to Mahoning, Kerry received 58.068% of the white vote. It is not difficult to conclude that because of these wide variations in the white vote, that something is amiss with the white vote not being properly calculated for the correct candidates in many of these counties.
Below are the actual election results for 2004 that was obtained from the Ohio State website as of 11-5-2004 for the 88 counties. Combined on this spreadsheet are the 2000 elections results with registered voters in 2000 compared to 2004. The red higlighted columns are the counties that were won by Bush, the blue by Kerry. The percentages were computed concerning the increase of both Republican and Democrat votes of 2004 over 2000. Pay special attention to these columns that are highlighted in "yellow". These are very high increases of votes cast for each party in 2004 over 2000. There were a couple though of actual decreases. This was important to compute. By seeing what these increase/decreases were in each county and comparing these separately for Republican and Democrat votes cast and the percentage that each party/candidate carried in each county, these difference show that the numbers simply do not add up by any means. The question is not, "Where's the beef?", but rather..."Where's the vote?"
If you are going to print this column, make sure you change your print setup from portrait to landscape, otherwise,
the spreadsheets will not properly print out.
In closing, I believe the following measures need to be implemented by State Officals nationwide concerning how states are going to provide an accurate vote to where "every vote" is not only counted, but counted
correctly.
1:) A magnetic strip photo ID voting card needs to be implemented in every County Clerk's office in this country.
The card will not only have the person's photo on it to prevent voter fraud, but will be encoded magnetically with the
person's unique voter number, [ not social security number, the SS # is not to be used by law for identifying purposes].
This eliminates voter fraud. If the voter loses his voting card, he will have to re-register and get a new one to be able to vote. No exceptions.
2:) Same day registration must be standard across the country where they will receive their photo ID card.
This will eliminate the provisional ballot time consuming counting problem after elections. The voter will vote at the registration site, not anywhere else this time.
3:) All voting equipment will be of standard basic design where it will "accept" the voter ID card above.
Manufactuers of electronic voting equipment will have to comply.
4:) All equipment must have a "backup" system and be tested and certified before its use.
5:) When the voter goes to vote, he will one of two things. Sign the county log book of registered voters or if it is computerized, a voting form will be printed out that the voter will sign.
6:) The equipment will have to "print" out a voter receipt along with a another receipt that shows the transaction of voting that will be either be stapled to the voting printed document above for the voter, or the separate voting receipts taken from each voter will be counted and stapled in groups of 10, the grouped into groups of 100, then 1000 during the day. This is done so that at the end of the day, the total voting receipts or forms counted must balance back to the total votes from the voting machines.
There must be a paper trail of voting. Too many things can happen during election day. Equipment malfunction that has been reported where machines lose vote count or the hacking into electronic machines. The main frame crashes and or equipment crashes and all vote totals are lost. By having a receipt of the votes that were recorded for each candidate, if need be, these can then be manually counted due to any failures of the machines or for audit purposes. This receipt can be a small receipt such as you get at Walmart when you purchase things. It will not have the name of the person on the receipt, only the voting information.
7:) If someone shows up at the wrong precinct. Poll workers will find the correct precinct for the voter to vote at by the voters address. Each precinct will have a cell phone where the poll worker can call the county clerks office where the information will be looked up. The voter will have two choices, go to that precinct, or go to the County Clerk's office to vote. This elminates any voter fraud.
It is very apparent from the mess that I have seen regarding the voting problems all across America, that the county and state election officals simply do not have their act together. There is no cohesive uniform plan that needs to be installed nationwide. Officials nationwide must find and agree on a standard electronic voting method and equipment. that must be in design be of the same design and features. All software to run these machines must be certified by a minimum of 2 outside sources. That is why there should be a national voting conference of both state an county election officials to get this moving and in place before the next national election.
I leave you with this.
For those that cannot or do not want to see that this country has a huge voting credibility problem, I ask this?
What must happen before you "fix" the system correctly? Is this issue being handled by Americans in the same manner as they do other issues? Are Americans simply sitting around until the day of reckoning where "nothing" is working as it should. We have in my opinion already hit that day of reckoning, nothing is working correctly or uniformly.
Get envolved with your local county and state officials and demand that this problem be solved today.
We must not forsake our freedom of our vote. We will if we do not fix this problem now.
The center of our American democracy is the right to vote. Implicit in that right is the belief that each vote be private, that each vote be secure, and that each vote be counted as it was intended when it was cast by the voter. By what I have seen this election, I strongly believe what we're encountering is a pivotal moment in our democracy where all of that is being called into question.
And evidently so do over 5,000 thousands other Americans. So upset over this election they have been voicing their displeasure by posting photos with signs of their comments on this website, www.sorryeverybody.com The site is averaging additions of 1,000 per day.
If you want to help expose voter fraud, then join forces with Bev Harris who runs the non-profit organization,
BlackBoxVoting.org. They are investigating these types of voter fraud not only in Ohio but across the country. Please help Bev Harris and her organization by contributing to the organization. You can do so on the site.
My fellow Americans, do not sit back and be quiet, stand up and be counted.
And if you suffer from aspartame poisoning, be sure to visit Mary Stoddard and Jim Turner's
Aspartame Consumer Safety Network . Mary was the first consumer advocate in 1987 to educate consumers on this deadlty chemical sweetener.
Stoddard's and Turner's site provides eye opening information about the artificial sweetener, aspartame - presented in a rational, intelligent manner. Both are the original pioneers of the international anti-aspartame movement. Journalist, Mary Nash Stoddard and Washington attorney, James Turner, Esq. have been instrumental in educating the general public around the world as to the reported dangers of aspartame. Their site is the one media, like 60-Minutes, that people go to when they have questions about this issue and need answers from the experts.

Make sure you read my column on this deadly chemical sweetener as well:
Aspartame Sweetness Disguised as Disease or Death?
Also Known As Equal®, Nutrasweet® and Spoonful®
To each and everyone, have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!
Until next time....
