Hello from VoteRescue Radio - Where Citizens Count, One Vote at a Time!

 

This Friday, August 1st, from 6 - 8 pm CDT, we welcome back returning guest PADDY SHAFFER, founder and director of the Ohio Election Justice Campaign (OEJC); and OEJC member VIRGINIA BROOKS, two of eight plaintiffs who have filed suit in Ohio on July 10th against the Ohio Secretary of State's office.  In the case, the OEJC is asking Hon. Judge Algenon Marbley to begin criminal contempt proceedings for the destruction of ballots from the November 2004 election.  The Ohio Election Justice Campaign (OEJC) submitted over 1000 pages of supporting documents.

 

Paddy Shaffer is an amazing election integritiy activist who, along with her organization, The Ohio Election Justice Campaign, has been holding Ohio's new Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and her staff  (and Kenneth Blackwell before her) accountable to the citizens on a number of critical election fraud issues there for years.  She has been one of the primary leaders in Ohio attempting to eliminate the use of electronic voting machines there.  Among her many actions, Paddy was in New Hampshire helping Bev Harris and others monitor the Recount of the Republican Primary this past January; in 2006; is a frequent contributor to OpEd News.  Paddy also served as Robert Fitrakis's campaign manager in 2006 during his bid in the Ohio governor's race.

 

Virginia Brooks  is a member of the Ohio Election Justice Campaign, and another of the eight Pro Se Litigants seeking to intervene in the Federal Election Case titled "King Lincoln et al v. Blackwell (now Brunner).  Virginia is from Ashland County, Ohio and is the State Chair of the Reform Party of Ohio.  This group is affiliated with the New Frontier Coalition, for which she serves as a steering committee member, and which was founded to support any third-party candidate, veterans group, seniors, etc. as long as they stand for the Constitution of the United States of America and agree to return this country to a Constitutional and representative Government 

 

In the case before Judge Marbley, King Lincoln, et al. v. Brunner, et al., the judge had issued specific orders directing Ohio's 88 county boards of election to preserve all ballots from the election until a decision was rendered in the case.  At least 56 county boards assert they have destroyed some ballots from 2004; seven counties assert they have destroyed all ballots.  This citizen-initiated action is pro se litigation in which the plaintiffs act as theier own attorneys.
