by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman December 23, 2008 The tragic and suspicious death of Karl Rove’s election thief in chief should send a clear message to Al Franken and other key liberals: don’t be riding in any small private planes. Death by air crash now seems to be the favored means of ridding the […]
The suspicious, disturbing death of election rigger Michael Connell by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman December 20, 2008 Michael Connell, the crucial techno- lynch pin in the theft of the 2004 election, and much more, is dead at the age of 45. His unnatural, suspicious death raises serious questions about the corruption of the American […]
9/16/1996 by Bob Fitrakis We all know that the Wolfe Family Newsletter, aka The Columbus Dispatch, has other relatives in the industry.

by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman November 17, 2008 As the sun sets on Bush 2, it is clear that a very thin line of electoral protection preserved Barack Obama’s victory in Ohio—and the nation. And it’s no accident the vote count battle for a Columbus-area Congressional seat still rages. The GOP’s 2008 electoral strategy […]
The Kudzu Effect is named after a parasitic, rapidly growing vine that engulfs and suffocates the life beneath it. The life of a democracy is embodied by free, honest and verifiable elections. Computerized voting, promoted by an interlocking cabal of political operatives and vendors is strangling American democracy. According to Election Data Services, almost 80% […]
Bob Fitrakis February 24, 2004 The Governor of Ohio, Bob Taft, and other prominent state officials, commute to their downtown Columbus offices on Broad Street.
