Post from Jane Schiff's Blog:
Going to Hell in that handbasket
This will be a rant - for now, composed of notes.
Today, Tuesday, 4/1/08 at 11:40 a.m. - "Karen" from the Ohio Department of Public Safety returned a call from me. Her number is (513) 771 - 1177. "Karen" said that she and the other employees do not use their last names. I informed her that I want BMV to correct my FORMER address in their data base that they had auto - entered erroneously. I accidentally discovered this while providing my new current Ohio Driver's License to the Hamilton County, Ohio Board of Elections. "Karen" asked me why it bothered me, since I cast a regular ballot. My whys right now, are subjects for possibly future blogs. "Karen" said that as far as she is concerned, the only way to correct the auto - entered former address in the BMV data base is to purchase ANOTHER new license. She said that I could try calling a person named "George" - remember - no last names for employees of The Department of Public Safety. She said I should try "George" on Thursday, 4/3/08 at (513) 742 - 7516. "Karen" also confirmed that when one renews an Ohio Driver's License, one is automatically registered to vote, but is not informed of that. She said that the law requires the BMV to register people to vote She also stated that if one would want to register to vote at the Ohio BMV, one would have to REQUEST an Ohio Voter Registration Card from that BMV.
Thought I should mention that I helped conduct citizen exit polls for Project Vote Count. Ohio Election Justice Campaign which I participate in was looking for takers. I witnessed people who had been forced to vote Provisionally about to leave without being given the followup hotline toll - free phone number to call to see if their votes counted. I walked with them back to their precinct tables so they could request those hotline papers.

More tomorrow.

Sounds like extortion?

Seems like the corporate circle jerk has meandered it's way into OUR government offices.

That info should be accessible in the database (like how they stole the election in 2004) with the right credentials but the mooks have it locked down to make you vote provisionally and or pay them more money?

Sounds like extortion?
Speaking of databases
