The ghost of rigged elections past: New revelations on the death of Michael Connell
December 11, 2013
Michael Connell, the Bush family and Karl Rove’s IT guru, was heading home from Washington D.C. to attend his company’s Christmas party on Friday, December 19th in 2008. An accomplished pilot, he was flying from the College Park, Maryland airport to the Akron-Canton airport in Ohio under unremarkable weather conditions. Yet his Piper Saratoga plane suddenly dove to the ground between two houses in an upscale neighborhood, when he was just 2.5 miles from the airport. The site was roped off, cleaned up within two hours at night against protocol, and the next day his wife found his omniscient Blackberry missing from his still intact knapsack.
The Free Press has uncovered crucial documents that shed light on Connell’s mysterious death as the fifth anniversary of his tragic accident approaches. The document reveals that then-Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell had signed a legal Statement of Work (SOW) contract with Connell for IT work on the infamous Election Night 2004, when Kerry unexpectedly lost when exit polls showed him winning. Connell and Blackwell agreed fourteen months prior to the 2004 election that that Connell would have “remote monitoring capabilities” to the computer counting Ohio’s presidential vote. That means Blackwell planned more than a year in advance for Connell’s private partisan external third party company and a subcontractor to have unfettered secret access to Ohio’s 2004 vote tally.

25 percent of the Ohio vote was dropped in the 2004 election. A lengthy investigation which took months to complete came up with this percentage. When those compiling the numbers announced their finding to the Governor, the question was asked, "Who wants to tell the American people 25 percent of the vote was dropped?" Silence followed.
Of course no one wanted to tell the American people this because nothing would change as a result. Once a president is inaugurated, the election cannot be undone. The only way a president can be removed from office is for Impeachment for High Crimes and/or Misdemeanors committed while serving his or her term(s) in office. A theft of the election would precede that.
