Blackwell Locks Out Recount Volunteers (Ohio)
Advertisements [?]
"On Friday December 10 two certified volunteers for the
Ohio Recount team assigned to Greene County were in process
recording voting information from minority precincts in Greene
County, and were stopped mid-count by a surprise order from
Secretary of State Blackwell’s office. The Director Board of
Elections stated that “all voter records for the state of Ohio
were “locked-down,” and now they are not considered public
records.”"
(snip)
"Quinn and Roberson asked specifically for the legal
authority authorizing Mr. Blackwell to “lock down” public
records. Garman stated that it was the Secretary of State’s
decision. Ohio statute requires the Directors of Boards of
Election to comply with public requests for inspection and
copying of public election records. As the volunteer team
continued recording information from the precinct records in
question, Garman entered the room and stated she was
withdrawing permission to inspect or copy any voting records
at the Board of Elections. Garman then physically removed the
precinct book from Ms. Roberson’s hands. They later requested
the records again from Garman’s office, which was again
denied." 
(snip)
"Ohio Revised Code Title XXXV Elections, Sec. 3503.26
that requires all election records to be made available for
public inspection and copying. ORC Sec. 3599.161 makes it a
crime for any employee of the Board of Elections to knowingly
prevent or prohibit any person from inspecting the public
records filed in the office of the Board of Elections.
Finally, ORC Sec. 3599.42 clearly states: “A violation of any
provision of Title XXXV (35) of the Revised Code constitutes a
prima facie case of election fraud within the purview of such
Title.”"

If the electors from Ohio are certified for the Electoral
College on Monday there should be a general strike and
uprising in Ohio.  Although this news is from a blogsite, the
attorney writing the release is legit.  As Mr. Beckerman
notes, this is prima facie evidence of voter fraud.:nuke:
