(below the fold)
The office of Congressman John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, has just rushed an alert out to the media in regards to recount efforts on the ground in Ohio. The release quotes Conyers as asking publicly if Ohio election officials are now attempting to hide information and accuses them of "stonewall[ing]" Judiciary Committee member's "search for truth"!
"We have now repeatedly seen election officials obstruct and stonewall this search for the truth," Conyers says in the release, adding "I am beginning to wonder what it is they are trying to hide." [emphasis added]
The Press Release, just issued, headlined "Conyers Alarmed at Efforts to Obstruct Ohio Recount Effort, Calls Witness to Monday Hearing to Detail Such Efforts", outlines the troubling reports, discussed here yesterday, of Ohio Sec. of State J. Kenneth Blackwell (also Co-Chair of the Ohio Bush/Cheney Re-Elect Committee!) reportedly attempting to obstruct efforts by Green/Libertarian Recount Volunteers in Ohio over the last several days.
And don't forget "Hands Around the Statehouse"

December 13, 2004 is the date the Ohio electoral college is scheduled to meet and vote for President on your behalf. Who do YOU think really won the election? If you believe the election had severe irregularities and voter suppression, meet from 11AM-1PM at the Ohio Statehouse-Columbus to protest.
(Sorry everybody--I took the time to make this post purty the first time around, but somehow it got lost, and now I'm running late for work--today is a big day and I wanted to make sure this was seen. Yesterday's turnout was a little disappointing. )
