On
behalf of a group of Ohio voters, attorney
Clifford Arnebeck filed an emergency motion
for an expedited emergency hearing and to
prevent voting companies and Ohio officials
from further tampering with voting machines
in the state during the recount, RAW
STORY has learned.
Arnebeck, of the Massachusetts-based
Alliance for Democracy, has joined with
Rev. Jesse Jackson and asked the state Supreme
Court to reconsider the election results
in their initial suit, accusing Bush's campaign
of "high-tech vote stealing."
Included in Arnebeck's motion
is a two-page testimony taken in the presence
of a court reporter where alleged witness
Catherine Buchanan says she was told Diebold
reprogrammed voting machines while present
at her local Board of Elections. Also included
is a letter from an Ohio county election
official who stated that test tabulator
decks were "discarded" in violation
of Ohio law. RAW
STORY has acquired these documents and
will be posting them shortly linked from
