*After publishing, I noted two Green
ballots that appeared to be the same. I corrected the totals above.
It happened during a break in taking pictures of the videos we had.
There are still similiar differences on the Senator's and
Congressmen's races.
When you
look at the numbers, they are small, but the percentages are very
large. Now consider that this is only one precinct out of thousands
across the state. If these uncounted differences are true in the
majority of other precincts throughout the state, this would lead
you to ask some very important questions. Is there collusion between
the two main political parties, Democrats and Republicans to
minimize the results of the 3rd Party movement? Do they control
access to the ballots, so that information like this does not become
public? While we cannot affirmatively answer these questions at this
point, we can certainly look at their behavior in attempting to hide
these ballots from public scrutiny. Too many people have paid the
ultimate sacrifce for our democracy to allow a few to take it away
from us.
This editor and the
volunteers of all political persuasions that accompanied me on
August 24th wish to thank Ms. Linda Evans, the Clerk of Allegan
Township for being the only one to immediately look at the law and
allow us to video tape the ballots in her uncountable precinct. She
derserves the respect and honor of every citizen in Allegan County,
the State of Michigan, and the United States of America. Our country
is built on people like her.
A question was asked if
we are intruding upon the privacy of the individual voters by asking
to see the ballots. The answer is NO. Everybody is guaranteed the
right to a "secret ballot". You vote in private, and before you
insert your ballot into the reader, the number on your ballot is
removed by an election worker. It then becomes a "public document"
that should be available to anyone who wishes to see them in total.
There are no marks allowed on a ballot so that it can be referred
back to you the voter. If the only people ever allowed to see the
ballots are those who control our government, we do not have a
democracy, because we have no way of verifying what they tell us is
true. The Freedom of Information Acts are based upon the publics
right to know what is happening even in elections. If you want your
ballot to be counted as you voted it, then it is in your best
interest that as many diverse people as possible look at those
ballots to make sure they agree with totals from machines that have
proven to be unreliable.

new blogs for additional
information on the political situation in Allegan County.

Why has the above ballot container seal have a line
drawn through the first numbered seal and replaced with a second
numbered seal? For the answer, check out the
blog.
Legal Fund
We need to ask for funds to bring
legal action against the townships and cities that refuse to allow
us to see the ballots. To date, we have not received any replies
from a city or township that have met the Freedom of Information
Acts' exceptions. If you just wish to make a tax deductible
contribution under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
then you can contribute to the Michigan Election Reform Alliance.org.

Plainwell, Otsego, Wayland, Martin, Gunplain, Lee, Casco, and Ganges
with alternatives to the current Republican County Commissioners
that appear to be so out of step with the voters. We will need
volunteers to watch the absentee process so that your vote does not
get mysteriously changed.

Note: Mike Cox, the Attorney General has issued an AG
Opinion that the citizens of Michigan have a right to FOIA and see
the ballots on May 13, 2010. On May 6, 2010, the lawfirm of Butzel &
Long out of Ann Arbor sent letters to all the stonewalling
jurisdictions asking to see the ballots. It could be a campaign
issue? Is that right, Mike?
Ask your clerk to see the
ballots
It appears that the state and federal governments
do not have any real legal grounds to keep us from seeing the
ballots. They have just been using a huge bluff. You should do your
own Freedom of Information Act request to see the ballots in your
own precincts. Use our sample
FOIA request. Your actions will force
government to give us honest elections. If you encounter any
problems, please feel to call me. Help is very close! Your freedom
and control over your own life is at stake. Not one issue that you
feel strongly about is possible without your voice be heard through
the ballot box. Give that voice some strength by speaking out now to
your government by demanding to see the ballots and count them.

Group to Protest
Tulip Time Luncheon Speech
by Blackwater’s
Founder, Erik Prince
Two events are
planned to protest Holland Tulip Time’s decision
Holland,
Michigan, April 30, 2010. Tulip
Time is a nationally recognized community festival celebrating
spring flowers and ethnic traditions. A group of concerned citizens
have organized two events for Wednesday, May 5, to protest the
decision of Tulip Time’s Board to invite Erik Prince to be the
keynote speaker at a prestigious luncheon. Erik Prince, a native
son, founded Blackwater, Inc. (which has recently changed its name
to Xe), a major, private, mercenary security force. Tulip Time
explained its invitation by saying that Erik will share “insights
into his life experiences and how the value-based lessons of his
childhood in Holland helped launch his life journey.”
The protest group
opposes Tulip Time’s decision, Prince’s creation of Blackwater, and
our government’s use of for-profit, corporate armed forces, which
operate outside our military justice system, to represent our
nation. The group
believes that those actions do not represent Holland’s best values.
The first of the
two events on May 5 will be a public protest near the luncheon site,
Hope College’s DeVos Fieldhouse, 222 Fairbanks Ave., beginning at
10:30 a.m.
The second event
will be a talk by Jeremy Scahill, investigative reporter and author
ofBLACKWATER: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army.
Mr. Scahill will speak at 7:30 p.m. at the Holland 7 Movie Theater,
500 S. Waverly Road, Holland.
Both events are
free and the public is invited.
