31. Sent request to WMUB
"At noon today (December 20th) there was a news brief read by one of the WMUB personnel about the Triad representative in Hocking that had replaced parts to a computer before the recount.

I have been looking through this website several times today to get the blurb in print. Is it available?

While you had nothing to do with the news that came to you, are you aware that this technician came to the Hocking offices on his own volition -- upon looking at the computer suddenly informed the person in charge that the battery was not working, and "Just Happened" to have a spare on *In His Coat* (not even in a tool box of computer pieces and parts) and that it took him almost *two hours* to do this so-called battery change? And what about the *numbers* he told the supervisor to post on the wall -- inconspicuously, so that observers wouldn't recognize them -- so that their tally would "turn out" ok?

How wonderful of him to perform what he "did to the computer" for observers the second time around. (Note: Please think about this -- the man was being accused of tampering, a person has signed an affidavit attesting that this was not a normal procedure, and officials have just asked him to "show them" what he did? Does this make sense?)

Perhaps no tampering took place, but wouldn't it make better sense to seize the machine, and have an independent expert perform evaluation of the machine instead of having a person who was involved in the very incident "repeat" it for others to judge whether it was appropriate or not?

If there is a link to this partial news article at all, please provide it if possible.

Many thanks.
XXXXXXXX"
