Arnebeck Lawsuit Out

Here's the actual lawsuit in the case of Moss v. Bush (I'm guessing Moss is the individual face on a class-action suit:

Here's a nice summary of the complaints. I thought this part was interesting, where they go county-by-county and allege some things I never knew:

* Auglaize County: voting machine errors, unauthorized access to machines by ES&S employee Joe McGinnis.
* Cuyahoga:  BoE "botched" registration of 10,000 voters, preventing them from voting.
* Cuyahoga County:  Precinct 4F cast more votes for Petrouka, a "ultra-conservative" "anti-immigrant" party than for Kerry. 4N also had more results for 3rd party.  Alleges it is because of "fraud, error, or mistake."
* Cuyahoga County: "effective denial of the right to cast a provisional ballot." 8,099 provisional ballots (1/3 of those cast) were improperly ruled as
"invalid" because of voting in wrong precinct or allegedly unregistered.  
* Cuyahoga/Franklin County:  absentee ballot arrows did NOT match up with candidate names.
* Cuyahoga County/Franklin County: voters received calls to go to wrong polling place.
* Franklin County: discriminatory assigning of more voting machines to white areas than black areas. Had the "effect, if not intent, of discriminating against African-American voters."  Same alleged in Knox, Hamilton, Lucas.
* Hamilton county: Some absentee ballots did not list Kerry/Edwards.
* Hamilton County:  Republican precinct judge was asking everyone for address and "being a jerk about it."
* Jefferson County:  voters were challenged, did not know it, could not rebut challenge.  Names were merely printed in a "nearly unreadable list in the local newspaper."
* Lake County:  bogus BoE letter saying those registered through DNC/NAACP can't vote.
* Lucas County: Machines broke down throughout the day. BoE director said "the Diebold optical scan machines jammed during testing in the weeks before the election."
* Mahoning County:  machine registered negative 25 Million votes.
* Mahoning County:  20-30 ES&S machines needed to be recalibrated after votes were being switched for opponent.
* Mahoning County: dozen machines needed to be "reset because they essentially froze"
* Mercer County: errors, lots of people didn't vote for president.
* Miami County: "highly suspect and improbable 98.5% turnout."  Suspicious that when last 18,615 votes came in, candidate percentages were the same.  
* Montgomery County: Two precincts had 25% presidential undervote.  Average for the county was 2% undervote.
* Sandusky county:  overvote when worker inserted disk with votes twice into tabulator.  In same county, some ballots counted twice.
* Trumbell County:  A woman found someone already voted in her name, with forged signature, when she went to vote.  They let her vote.  Again.
* Warren County:  Irregularities in counting of ballots during lockdown.
* Across the board:  Lots of "Votehopping"- picked Kerry on screen, vote "hopped" to Bush.

And as I predicted, the Peterson trial trumped the Democracy trial yesterday. I consider myself fairly in the know, and I had no idea about a lot of this stuff. Wow, is all I can say.

There's an effort afoot to ask Barbara Boxer to contest the vote. Please sign the petition.
