News: Election 2004: President Bush to Be Subpoenaed; Blackwell Tries to Avoid Sworn Testimony; Over a Dozen Members of Congress to Challenge Election
By ADVOCATE STAFF

In a sign that Votergate news stories will soon become impossible for the mainstream media to ignore, news of ground-breaking developments in the national scandal is now coming so fast and so furiously through internet channels that The Advocate strains to report it all in a timely fashion. Indeed, even an Associated Press article now being carried by all major media outlets, auspiciously entitled "Ohio Recount Ends, Shows Vote Closer," states clearly that "[t]he completion of the recount will not bring an end to questions surrounding the vote in Ohio. A group of voters citing fraud have challenged the election results with the Ohio Supreme Court....[and] the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress, also is investigating election problems."

According to the Columbus Free Press, those voters contesting the presidential election in Ohio at the state level have, with legal representation from Alliance for Democracy, scheduled depositions of the President, Vice-President, and the so-called "architect" of the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign, Karl Rove, for today and tomorrow. An Ohio attorney representing the three men, Kurt Tunnell, claims that the three have not yet been properly served; according to the contestors, the Republican-dominated Ohio Supreme Court bears a legal obligation to serve the necessary subpoenas.

News reports indicate the Court has failed to do so thus far.

Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, who has -- in unsworn statements on television and in print -- termed Ohio's 2004 election "absolutely inspiring," failed to appear for sworn testimony relating to the election. What appeared in his place, instead, was an Expedited Motion for Protective Order seeking to prevent him from ever having to give any "inspiring" testimony under oath.
Which is to say, under penalty of perjury.
