Ohio Attorneys to Assert RICO Claim Against Karl Rove for Orchestrating Theft of 2004 Election
thejournal.epluribusmedia.net - COLUMBUS, OHIO: Plaintiff attorneys for a lawsuit filed in 2006 that sought voting records to prove whether their suspicion that Republicans conspired to suppress the votes of two active Democratic demographics that helped President Bush win the state and a second term in the White House, changed the focus of their lawsuit Thursday, saying they will now focus on learning more about the roles played by Karl Rove, Bush's political architect, and a long-time Bush family confidant and Information technology guru – now working for Sen. John McCain – who as an information technology tradesman, built various computer systems that produced election irregularities that favored Republicans and whose work, if not ferreted out and stopped now, may do the same this year for McCain as it did for Bush against Kerry four years ago.

Ohio became famous, or infamous depending on your political persuasion, for catapulting George W. Bush into a second term as the nation’s president. In 2004 the state was run by Republicans, who held all statewide offices and controlled both houses of the legislature. The Secretary of State at the time was Kenneth J. Blackwell, an African American from Cincinnati who previously had served as State Treasurer and was in his second term as the state’s chief elections officer. At the time, Blackwell was also the co-chairman of the Bush-Cheney re-election committee. When the narrow election was over, Bush won Ohio from his Democratic rival, Massachusetts’ Sen. John Kerry, by the slim margin of about 118, 000 plus votes, or few than a dozen votes for each of Ohio’s 11,000 polling locations.
Email, Documents Asked to be Held to Reenergize, Refocus 2006 Election Lawsuit
Cliff Arnebeck, the lead attorney in the King Lincoln Bronzeville lawsuit, was accompanied by Henry Eckert, a former public utilities commissioner, and Bob Fitrakis, a political science professor at Columbus State College and election integrity advocate who manages the Columbus Free Press, a progressive news sources, and who has made failed attempts to run for Congress and governor.
Arnebeck, who spoke to reporters including the OhioNewsBureau at a press conference held Thursday in Downtown Columbus, presented letters he has sent to Michael B. Mukasey, US Attorney General, and Matthew Kairis, an attorney with the Jones Day law firm, asking them to hold certain named documents that would be used to reenergize and refocus the King Lincoln Bronzeville Neighborhood Association vs. Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner now pending before Federal District Judge Elgenon Marbley. The purpose of the lawsuit, filed in August of 2006, was to “preserve the ballots and related materials for the 2004 Ohio presidential election with respect to which the 22-month retention schedule was about to expire.” The broader purpose of the lawsuit, however, was the “protection against an ongoing conspiracy to interfere with the voting rights of African American and college student voters that was evident in the 2004 Ohio presidential election, and with respect to which this court ordered relief on Election Day 2004 in an action brought by the Ohio Democratic Party.” Arnebeck’s memorandum in support of his original motion stated that the original complaint “sought intervention of the court through appointment of a special master to oversee the integrity of the 2006 Ohio election and protect against interference with voting rights in that important election.
Ohio RICO Claim for Rove, US Chamber
Arnebeck told Mukasey he wants to “assert an Ohio Corrupt Practices Act/RICO claim against Mr. Karl Rover and others based upon their activities in 2000 to illegally use corporate treasury money and government power to establish single faction dominance in the United States, military dominance in the world and generally undermine the rule of law as it had developed over the course of the past century.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the wrong they have done the past 8 years were brought to light for every one to see? -
It would be nice and I am cynically optimistic. I hope this goes somewhere and isn't swept under the rug by Mukasey but I ain't holding my breath.

Seriously? No one else cares that Bush's brain could be up on RICO charges for helping steal an election? I guess it's all good if it forwards the Republican agenda, permanent majority.
