Black Box Voting is reporting that Victoria Lovegren, of election reform organization
Ohio Vigilance, has been informed that she may be charged tomorrow by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections for "obstruction of business" for requesting that the county report the results of Tuesday's election on a precint by precint basis.
Cuyahoga County is filing criminal charges against me because I asked some volunteers for the Vote Count Protection Project to call some of the Election Day Technicians, and ask them if they would be willing to write down some of the Voting Unit election results on a data-collection form, to used for vote-count verification purposes.
We were doing this because Blackwell's directive on 11/1 said that we could not add any more "Observers" to the list of observers, so we could not get "inside access."
We were doing this because Cuyahoga County was NOT going to post results for the public to see.
Lovegren appears in the recent HBO film, "Hacking Democracy", saying "Your in trouble," as the county incorporates Diebold into its election process.
The people want to "see" the precinct-level election results, and the CCBOE is refusing to let us see them. From the calling that volunteers made yesterday, we learned that Election Day Technicians were told, during training, that they could NOT read aloud the totals on the Summary Totals report, they, in fact, could not even LOOK at the totals on the report, and, obviously could not let anyone ELSE look at them.
Funny, I always thought election data belonged to the people.
