Considering that Ohio has been at the forefront of questionable voting tactics in the last two elections (along with Florida) one would assume that they would be taking steps to make sure their election processes are crystal clear. Instead they have chosen to operate a very murky early voting program that is wide open to voter fraud from anyone wishing to take advantage.

Not only are the officials at the Sec. of State’s office in Ohio unable to list any of the “procedures” they have in place to assure the state and the nation that people will not be voting multiple times along with other fraudulent voting acts they have denied access to election monitors stating that the legislation “does not provide for them.”

As you will hear in the following clip the confusion over “not providing for them” and simply denying access to monitors is apparently only in the hands of regular people yet it makes perfect sense to the SoS office. Check out the clips below and let the 2008/2009 Voter Fraud Olympics begin post haste.

I understand that the financial sector, the media, and a good portion of main street has been panicked into thinking that we need this bill and this point I’m somewhat inclined to agree simply to avoid the unnecessary panic and problems that would be caused by not passing this crap sandwich full of pork.

How messed up is that. We can thank the Bush Administration for driving the panic home and the rest of congress for following suit. It’s time to start voting people out of office. My congressional votes this year will go against anyone who has been in congress for more than 8 years. I will give them a pass this year if they voted against this bailout. This does no include Presidential elections so don’t get any funny ideas that I will be voting for Barry O.
