Primary tabs
A rally was held Wednesday night to call attention to the corporate media black out of Electoral Fraud in the 2004 Presidential Election. About 100 demonstrators picketed, held signs, and listened to speakers in Downtown Rochester, across from the Democrat and Chronicle Buiding on Exchange Street.
In a flyer announcing the event an organizer wrote; “Where is the coverage of electoral fraud hearings in Ohio? Where are the first person narratives from Florida about touch screen ballots that default to Bush? Where are the stories about the diverted voting machines and long lines at polling places in black neighborhoods in Ohio? Where are the interviews with experts who can show how electronic voting tabulators can be hacked?"
Signs and speeches made reference to the hypocrisy of the Corporate Media coverage of Election Fraud in the Ukraine compared with the near total absence stories dealing with election fraud in the US.
Metro Justice Member Doug Noble spoke to the crowd. “A concession speech is not a legal document. The 2004 Presidential election is not over til January 6th, 2005, when Congress counts the electoral votes. But the mainstream media don’t want us to think about that. Instead, The New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, and the Democrat and Chronicle have all dismissed overwhelming concern about 2004 election fraud as internet rumors and conspiracy theoriesâ€
Other speakers told of their experience as Voter Protection volunteers in Ohio and Florida and the obstacles voters had encounter in attempting to vote.
Green Party member Deboragh Magone, Updated the crowd on the recount efforts going on in Ohio. She also outlined ways people can get involved in helping with the recount.
