The fix was in a long time ago. This woman needs to go to jail. Ohio needs to throw these bums out of office and reclaim their integrity.
I agree. The DNC must be providing training and inspiration for these vote-stealers. It's happening in far too many places.
What happened in Ohio was a crime and this is how BAD WE WERE! We couldn’t have saved our butts if they had been on fire. OHH!
Polling day confusion and apology Cleveland Ohio, November 3-4, 2008.
To: Volunteers for Poll Watching Cuyahoga County.
I’m writing to both explain and apologize for the problems and failures which occurred during the election.
I first arrived in Cleveland on October 20th, as a New York volunteer for the Republican Party. Including election day I spent 10 days working to recruit Poll Observers and during that time spoke to many of you, asking for help defending the polls from illegal voting. Many of you agreed and following that agreement never received either an assignment, credentials that had been promised, or both. Many of you waited anxiously on November 3rd for credentials and assignments.
The details of multiple communications failures are a long tail of miss-steps that included spam filters, lack of training, multiple qualifying procedures, overtaxed volunteers and lack of co-ordination with workers in Columbus headquarters. Only after the fact did I realize that there were only a few polling stations that we could place observers in that were not in the heart of Cleveland, the most challenging areas of town. Columbus was making an effort to further qualify people for these difficult assignments after I had already spoken to many of you. They then excluded many because they couldn’t contact you in time. If they didn’t recontact you then you were never assigned. Even if some of you were contacted concerning a location the time was so short and the staff in Columbus so taxed for the time available that some were left hanging with a location, no credentials, but plenty of anxiety.
This is the short answer to what went on and why I am writing to apologize for the failures prior to the election. Hopefully things will run more smoothly in the future.
Thanks to all of you who stepped forward to protect the integrity of the voting system. My best wishes go out to you all.
Sincerely,
