Lawmaker Seeks Inquiry Into Ohio Vote
By TOM ZELLER Jr.
Published: December 15, 2004
The ranking Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee, Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, plans to ask the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a county prosecutor in Ohio today to explore "inappropriate and likely illegal election tampering" in at least one and perhaps several Ohio counties.
The request for an investigation, made in a letter that was also provided to The New York Times, includes accounts from at least two county employees, but is based largely on a sworn affidavit provided by the Hocking County deputy director of elections, Sherole Eaton."

Expecting more details and as they become available I will post them as comments to this diary.
I have added a copy of a new article by Will Pitt, just posted at Truthout and a copy of Congressman Conyers' letter to the FBI [contained in Will's article, but copied here just to make it easily accessible].
Will also has posted the affidavit from Ms. Sherole Eaton.
