Ohio Holds Funeral on Anniversary of 2004 Elections



The Ohio Election Justice Campaign is holding a funeral for democracy on Friday, November 2, 2007, in Columbus, Ohio. This is the third anniversary of a presidential election so flawed that for the first time in U.S. history, an entire state's Electoral College votes were challenged. Considered a swing state, Ohio clinched the 2004 presidential election.

The funeral begins with a eulogy in front of the Ohio Statehouse, followed by a funeral procession past the Board of Elections and the offices of the Secretary of State and Attorney General. A memorial service honoring the 2004 voters will be held at a local church. Mourners of the election are invited to a wake for democracy in the evening.

The OEJC seeks to raise awareness of election justice issues before the 2008 presidential election. A coalition of concerned citizens and election experts, the OEJC is endorsed by the Black Leadership Forum and the Election Defense Alliance, http://wakeupandsaveyourcountry.com/oejc.html

These suburban counties surround Cincinnati, Ohio, and account for more than the entire winning margin in the 2004 presidential election. These counties, along with Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati, also failed to preserve their 2004 ballots in violation of the U.S. District Court order issued on September 7, 2006 in King Lincoln v. Blackwell, http://www.electiondefensealliance.org/OEJC
