Remember Ken Blackwell? Ken and his cohorts choreographed a comprehensive plan to steal the vote.
He got away with Ohio elections shennanigans. This can't happen again. Or can it?
John Conyers investigated the 2004 Ohio Election and specified each item used to steal the 2004 Ohio vote. Conyer's team detail each and every item of the plan. His team's report is a Virtual Handbook on How to Steal an Election.
I read through the report to extract their findings for you. It was a three-part plan: Pre-Election, Election Day, and Post Election steps taken to steal the election.
Here's a link to the entire report. Beneath the orange croissant are the steps taken. It's really quite brilliant, albeit illegal on so many levels. And yet, Blackwell and the GOP got away with it. I thought we should be aware of the tactics, prepare for them, and send a loud, clear message: Never Again, Not in 2012!
Preserving Democracy: What Went Wrong in Ohio
The GOP would name the Conyers' report: What Went Right in Ohio. Ken Blackwell was their hero. He now sits on right wing NRA board.
And Blackwell's book The Blueprint: Obama's Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency is a blather.
You can listen to Blackwell's twisted meaning blather on this Daily Show appearance. Jon tears up his convoluted thinking. You can listen to Jon for tips on How to Talk to Deluded GOP Talking Points. This three part conversation is a primer.
