Ohio: 2004 Stolen Elections and Bush Money Laundering
A federal probes finds Team Bush in Washington invloved in more deciepts, this time with three indictments for money laundering and other pro-Bush election crimes involving Ohio "Coingate" lynchpin Tom Noe. Again bringing the light to Ohio's 2004 stolen election scandal.
The latest charges are that Noe did an end run around the $2,000 federal campaign donation limit by giving his money to 24 associates and having them funnel it to the Bush-Cheney campaign. This helped Noe's keep his promise to raise $50,000 for the GOP presidential effort. Noel Hillman, the chief of the U.S. Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, calls this case against Noe "one of the most blatant and excessive campaign-finance criminal schemes we have encountered" in recent years.
And let us not forget who else is tied in, Ohio Gov. Robert Taft has also been convicted of three misdemeanor ethics violations, at least one of which involves a golf outing with Noe, at which Noe claims he told Taft about the secret Coingate investment/slush fund.
This large money laundering scandal leading directly to the Bush-Cheney campaign, in the state where the 2004 election was decided, adds another dimension to corruption in the Bush Whitehouse. Not only faslifying inteligence to bring us to war, Plamegate scandals, but rigged elections and money laundering to boot.
Noe is also at the center of speculation on how huge numbers of votes in the Toledo area may have wrongly found their way into the Bush column, helping the GOP again take the presidency in 2004.
Noe was deeply involved in controversial procurement deals that brought Diebold opti-scan vote counting machines into inner city Toledo precincts. Many of those machines suspiciously malfunctioned at key times on election day. You can read the goverment report from the General Accounting Office here that details this and other inconsistencies in the 2004 elections in Ohio.

Ohio: 2004 Stolen Elections
As legal nooses tighten around the Bush/Cheney/Rove inner circle, a shocking government report questions the legitimacy of the 2004 election of Bush to a second term. This in an extremely damming report from the General Accounting Office.
The General Accounting Office is the government's lead investigative agency known for its thorough, in-depth analyses. The report GAO has released concurs with assertions, widely dismissed as "conspiracy theories", that Bush is not the legitimate 2004 presidential election.
Last year, senior Judiciary Committee John Conyers (D-MI) asked the General Accounting Office to investigate electronic voting machines used during the November 2, 2004, presidential election. According to CNN, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee received "more than 57,000 complaints" following Bush's alleged re-election. Many have been recorded under oath in a series of sworn statements and affidavits in public hearings and investigations.
The nonpartisan General Accounting Office report has found that, "some of [the] concerns about electronic voting machines have been realized and have caused problems with recent elections, resulting in the loss and miscount of votes."
The United States is the only major democracy that allows private partisan corporations to secretly count and tabulate the votes with proprietary non-transparent software.
This General Accounting Office study makes it clear that no bank, grocery store nor mom & pop shop would dare operate its business on a computer system as flimsy, fragile and easily manipulated as the one on which the 2004 election turned.
The CEO of one of the most crucial suppliers of electronic voting machines, Warren O'Dell of Diebold, pledged before the 2004 campaign to deliver Ohio's electoral votes to George W. Bush. In a 2003 fundraising letter, Diebold CEO Wally O'Dell promised to deliver Ohio's 2004 electoral votes—and thus the election—to Bush. O'Dell is one of Ohio's 19 GOP Bush Pioneer/Ranger high money donors.
These findings are particularly damning when set in the context of an election run in Ohio by a secretary of state who was simultaneously working as co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign. The findings confirm that the electronic network on which 800,000 Ohio votes were cast was vulnerable enough to allow a a tiny handful of operatives, or less, to turn the whole vote count using personal computers operating on relatively simple software.
The General Accounting Office report now confirms that electronic voting machines as deployed in 2004 were in fact perfectly engineered to allow a very small number of partisans with minimal computer skills and equipment to shift enough votes to put George W. Bush back in the White House, and that there are now many of these occurrences of shifted votes, almost always in Bush's favor, documented.
Lets see some media coverage!!
