COLUMBUS, OHIO: Plaintiff attorneys for a lawsuit filed in 2006 that sought voting records to prove whether their suspicion that Republicans conspired to suppress the votes of two active Democratic demographics that helped President Bush win the state and a second term in the White House, changed the focus of their lawsuit Thursday, saying they will now focus on learning more about the roles played by Karl Rove, Bush's political architect and Mike Connell, a long-time Bush family confidant and Information technology guru – now working for Sen. John McCain – who as an information technology tradesman, built various computer systems that produced election irregularities that favored Republicans and whose work, if not ferreted out and stopped now, may do the same this year for McCain as it did for Bush against Kerry four years ago.

Ohio became famous, or infamous depending on your political persuasion, for catapulting George W. Bush into a second term as the nation’s president. In 2004 the state was run by Republicans, who held all statewide offices and controlled both houses of the legislature. The Secretary of State at the time was Kenneth J. Blackwell, an African American from Cincinnati who previously had served as State Treasurer and was in his second term as the state’s chief elections officer. At the time, Blackwell was also the co-chairman of the Bush-Cheney re-election committee. When the narrow election was over, Bush won Ohio from his Democratic rival, Massachusetts’ Sen. John Kerry, by the slim margin of about 118, 000 plus votes, or few than a dozen votes for each of Ohio’s 11,000 polling locations.

Just 4 years too late!!

It gets even better...read the next thread I posted...I love it!!!

Woo Hoo Hoo... Now who thinks Ohio is still a red state?

Thanks Christine.

I can understand why it could take years to bring this to trial as it must be impossible to collect documents and evidence from the culprits. I'm totally for their efforts, but, referring this to Mukassey has me skeptical. I'm sure he's like, whatever. Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein have my back...

Deleted for typing false hope before reading the entire thread.

These guys should be heroes in Ohio. Has Keith Olbermann picked up on this story yet?

It has always amazed and dumbfounded me that the Nixon plumbers were more culpable and more "criminal" than the high-level Bush/Rove operatives from both the 2000 election and the 2004 election.

The Nixon criminals were pikers compared to what these corrupt hoods and thugs have managed to pull off.

I'm also not at all comfortable that Mukasey will respond at all, much less allow the request and/or the investigation to continue without stonewalling of some kind.

But I can dream, can't I?
