Rove’s focus on Ohio in 2008 - Red Flag. The bigger question for journalists and concerned voters – Is McCain using the same cyber folks that Blackwell used in Ohio in 2004? What other states are using TRIAD, Smartech and Govtech or companies affiliated with them? Where are those states tabulating their votes – in their states or offsite on a server like Smartech’s in Chattanooga, TN? Is anybody checking their systems. This does not seem like an open process of counting our votes.

In the middle of the Nov. 2004 election night, Ohio servers were suddenly switched to Smartech’s servers for tabulation in Chattanooga, TN. These were the same servers used by major GOP websites including the website that lost emails of Karl Rove from the white house – Gwb43.com.

In 2004, Rove was very confident about overcoming the “get out the vote” campaigns by Democrats in Ohio because the electronic manipulation of votes in Ohio was far easier to do without much of a trace. Especially since Ohio TRIAD computer servicemen switched out hard drives on election day, night, or shortly thereafter, removing a lot of potential opportunity to reconstruct hard drives that had the little telltale signs of flipped or stolen votes of unsuspecting voters. They maintain computer systems in Ohio’s 41 out of 88 counties. See:

Poof, with no paper trail those ballots can easily be changed in a blink of an eye. The eternal sunshine memory removal of computer hard drives – just change the hard drive – no memory left to reveal any fingerprints!
