Check this out: I have a great new idea for scamming an election. What do you think of this?<\/p>\n

Suppose you took a filled-in ballot, used a blank sticker to cover the oval filled in by the voter, colored in a different oval, and then fed the ballot into an optical scanner. How do you think the machine would count that ballot? Pretty slick, no? I am so<\/i> clever! Nobody else would ever think of doing something like this, would they? <\/p>\n

On second thought, maybe somebody else would<\/i> think of it. And according to this article<\/a> from RAW STORY<\/a>, it’s already been done. Quite recently, in fact. And you’ll never guess where! <\/p>\n

Tough question, no? OK, here’s a hint: What’s round on both ends and high in the middle? Did you say “Ohio”? Well, maybe you will<\/i> guess after all. But you’ll never<\/i> guess which ovals<\/i> had stickers on them… <\/p>\n

Serious new election tampering allegations have emerged from an Ohio county, where witnesses allege that stickers were placed on presidential election ballots, RAW STORY<\/a> has learned.<\/p>\n

Several volunteer workers in the Ohio recount in Clermont County, Ohio have prepared affidavits alleging serious tampering, violations of state and federal law, and possible fraud. They name the Republican chief of Clermont’s Board of Elections and the head of the Clermont Democratic Party Priscilla O’Donnell as complicit in these acts.<\/p>\n

These volunteers, observing the recount on behalf of the Greens, Libertarians and Democrats, assert that during the Dec. 14, 2004 hand recount they noticed stickers covering the Kerry\/Edwards oval, whereas the Bush\/Cheney oval seemed to be \u201ccolored in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some witnesses state that beneath the stickers, the Kerry\/Edwards oval was selected. The opti-scan ballots were then fed into the machines after the hand recount.<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, what do you think about that? I thought I had a good original idea here. Apparently it is<\/i> a pretty good idea, but it’s not exactly original. Oh well… <\/p>\n

Read the entire story here<\/a>. Then come back and scream and yell all you like. This really does call for a good rant. <\/p>\n

But don’t just rant here. Spread the pressure around. <\/p>\n
