Election protection attorney Cliff Arnebeck in Ohio, who’s been working on the E-voting issue for years, has issued a document hold request to Georgia Secretary of State, Cathy Cox, for all voting equipment in the current election, for use in an upcoming E-voting lawsuit in Ohio. Arnebeck also requests documents related to the Diebold patch or patches applied during the 2002 election, which have been previously reported by Atlanta Progressive News. The letter states that federal law requires Handel to hold the documents for 22 months.

RE: Public record and document hold request
Dear Secretary of State Handel:
We are in the process of preparing a racketeering claim under the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act against Karl Rove as the principal perpetrator, and other individuals acting in association with him, to corrupt elections in the United States over the course of this decade.
Ground zero for this activity in 2000 was Florida, in 2004 was Ohio, and in 2002 was Georgia. In each case exit polling, the international gold standard for detection of vote count fraud, indicated fraud in the officially recorded vote for President or for the US Senate, in the case of Georgia 2002. Furthermore, the direct recording electronic voting machines, that have been used in Georgia since 2002, are the election burglary tool of choice because of the multiplicity of avenues they provide for wholesale election fraud.
This is to request any records of official investigation of the reported use of uncertified patches by Diebold in two Democratic Georgia counties in 2002, reported by former Diebold consultant Chris Hood. Also, we request protocols, inspection and audit procedures that have been prescribed to protect against other introductions of uncertified patches into federal elections in Georgia.
We also request information as to the availability for inspection of the memory cards, tapes and all electronic records and hard drives on which these were originally recorded, for the November 2008 election.
Finally, we request your confirmation that all such records for the runoff election will be retained for the federally prescribed 22 month period.
Please regard this as a public records request, as a well as a document hold notice in connection with our planned litigation.
Sincerely yours,
Clifford O. Arnebeck, Jr.
Attorney at Law
