Ohio City to Re-Vote After Diebold Over-votes

Tuesday February 7, 2006
One set of Ohio citizens will cast 2005 votes a second time on Tuesday, using paper ballots and an optical scan system. After electronic voting machines from Ohio-based Diebold recorded more votes than voters last fall, the city of Carlisle, Ohio contested the results. The Montgomery County Common Pleas Court ordered another referendum on a proposed levy for the Carlisle Fire Department and ordered Montgomery County to pay for the special election, which is taking place in neighboring Warren County as well as Montgomery County, which is still using Diebold equipment.

News reports at the time suggested poll worker error. Steve Harsman, director, Montgomery County Board of Elections , said, "[P]oll workers incorrectly encoded voter cards that are used to bring up the ballots on the electronic machines..." resulting in at least 225 votes "in precincts with only 148 registered voters."

Why are programes and adverts on t.v. that are so different to normal. The way in which they are portraying everything. I sense that the whole portrayal of television is changing. Even the people themselves and the papers. There is something very odd going on, look closely and see the behavior of the whole system. Before I expected all this as normal. But now I see I’m dreaming sleeping. Ive seen them,wicked with Red Eyes, who pretend to be nice, My feelings tell me that they have no good intention for us. I’m scared because I know something unusual is happening. I think more people should spread this around, we are living in a Matrix, we cant see, but now its so obvious, wake up notice strange and unusual things happening. I believe I’m living a hell that I’m not aware off because I’m sleeping. The T.V. is brainwashing us, even the stupid radio, and some magazines. This is no good for us at all its bad and my girlfriend who Ive been with has become very unwell. This is because of all this stuff, what is going on ? She has never been, like this before. I’m saying to her that all this is doing it. Have not seen her now for 3 days, she is bedridden. When I went round to her house, her dad answered the door. I had a strange feeling on the back of my head. His eyes, were puffed up a lot, and Blood Red. He said, that she had got worse, and maybe going into hospital he said, he would call me to let me now the next few days her progress. He looked a state, he had scratch marks on his neck both sides, and he looked very sick. He did say he felt fine, I said thanks, tell her I called. I left wondering why both were similar with the Red eyes. Did not want to question him about his appearance, some times its best not to push things to far. I’m left confused and certain at the same time this is due to the system being an illusion.
