Fraudbuster Bob Fitrakis, Live!
Posted by The Dean of Cincinnati
Cincinnati’s very own multi-platinum recording artist and former candidate for Mayor, Justin Jeffre, will introduce international elections observer and Green gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Bob Fitrakis, at an event Saturday, July 29th, 6pm, at Mac’s Pizza Pub in Clifton (205 W. McMillan).
"Dr. Fitrakis’ candidacy will give people a chance to vote for a true reformer this November,” said Josh Krekeler, head of the SWOHGP. “By entering the Governor’s race Fitrakis is broadening the political debate to include ideas like single-payer universal health care that will really help Ohio’s citizens and economy – simple ideas that Republicans and Democrats consider out of bounds.”
Come listen to Fitrakis discuss the voting irregularities in the 2004 Ohio elections, or his progressive platform for Ohio. Connect with area progressives in this free event.
Specials include Green beer and other spirits in honor of the Green Party!
*Every vote in Ohio 2004 was cast or counted on an electronic device. About 15% — some 800,000 votes — were cast on electronic touchscreen machines with no paper trail. To stop fraud, we need to reform and clean up the elections process. As an elections expert, Bob is the right man to do the job. A recent report by the non-partisan General Accountability Office confirms that some widely used electronic voting machines are easily hacked. Vote skimming and tipping are readily available to those who would manipulate the vote.

Robert Kennedy’s article in Rolling Stone has really opened the door on this subject. City Beat ran an article about Blackwell’s mess and Bob Fitrakis has been at the forefront of this story from the begining. His work was the basis for the Conyers report “What went wrong in Ohio” and the Kennedy article. Fitrakis is a national treasure and everyone should come out and hear this important message about the problems with our electoral process regardless of what political party you are with.
We have a crisis in our democracy in Ohio.
