| MURDER OF THE MISSOURI, USA BALLOT BOX 2000 AND SUBSEQUENT COVERUP THEREOF |
| This page was updated 12/9/00 to reflect the last names of some of those who committed crimes in the City of St. Louis election and the coverup thereafter. 12/8, 11, 12, 13, 14/2000 Marvalene Pankey did a personal canvass of the election abstracts, packets submitted to the Missouri Secretary of State's office by the election authorities, pretended to have been canvassed by Invalidly Acting Secretary of State Becky Ridenhour Shyster-Schuster. In order to get to review the packets she had to be told by Margaret Freeman, who has been grossly overpaid for the little effort she puts forth and acted as a resident handler in the Missouri Secretary of State's office, that she should be ashamed to show her face in the office ever again. And while reviewing the packets inside the tomb established inside what was the Missouri Secretary of State's official office until 1995, she was at first hovered over and guarded by obviously someone in the loop's daughter, who interrupts constantly with her personal discussions on a cell phone or smart remarks that negative comments about anything were not to be tolerated and uncalled for. At least after the first day the guarding ceased and Daniel Hayes and Betsy Byers began to take notes of errors that she was finding. Marvalene Pankey will write a full report eventually, but summary is at least 58 election jurisdictions had at least 88 UNREPORTED, UNCANVASSED ERRORS and there was also evidence of shifting of votes away from the minor party candidates and even one emptying of the count in the middle of the tabulation and upon resumption a dramatic lowering of minor party votes.
On Monday after Thanksgiving, at her own expense AGAIN, Marvalene Pankey went to Jefferson City at the request of June Doughty and answered questions regarding what really happened in the City of St. Louis. What a joke that was AGAIN as certainly none of the information on this site or as reported in person mattered. December 4, 2000 in a secret meeting of the Board of State CONvassers, although Marvalene Pankey had insisted on notice as had been given in previous said meetings made public since 1996 [which she attended almost all of said sessions, aside from Betsy (Milner) Byers and Becky Ridenour-Shyster's keeping her out of the room until the rubber stamping of the computer printouts session was over for the 2000 Presidential Primary] all that happened in the City of St. Louis was covered over as being insignificant and UNTRUE. MEMORANDUM TO: Rebecca McDowell Cook and Members of the Board of Canvassers FROM: June Striegel Doughty, General Counsel DATE: December 4, 2000 RE: Allegations of Irregularities on Election Day in the City of St. Louis Numerous allegations surfaced just before and on election day in the City of St. Louis that required review and response prior to certifying the election results of the votes cast in statewide and certain other races on November 7, 2000. With full cooperation from St. Louis City Election Board staff in the short period of time since the election, I have been able to gather and fully review sufficient available facts to conclude that nothing happened in the city of St. Louis that had a material effect on the election results before you today. Specifically, I offer the following responses to the allegations for your consideration. Allegation. As many as 33,000 registered voters were reportedly purged from the voting rolls because they did not respond to a mail-in canvass. Response. This is not true. Following thorough review of the city’s active and inactive voting rolls, database reports, canvass procedures and results, and following review of numerous individual voter situations presented on and before election day, it is clear that: Registered voters whose canvass mailing was returned undeliverable by the U.S. Post Office were made inactive but were not purged from the voting rolls. Only voters whose cards were returned by the U.S. Post Office as undeliverable were put in an inactive status. Voters who received but failed to respond to the canvass mailing were not made inactive but instead remained active voters whose names appeared in the precinct rosters on election day. The canvass was conducted in large measure, but not precisely, in compliance with the provisions of §§ 115.179 - 115.193, RSMo 1994, as amended, but the degree to which the canvass did not comply with these provisions did not materially affect the outcome of either the canvass or the elections following the canvass. Allegation. Many qualified, registered voters were turned away from the polls because their names could not be found in the precinct rosters and their qualifications could not be verified by the election judges. Response. This appears to be true but did not materially impact the outcome of any contested race. There were various reasons why people were turned away from polling places, including: (1) the election judges didn’t see the voter’s name in precinct roster even though it was there; (2) the voter’s name was not in the precinct roster because they had been made inactive at some point in time prior to the election; (3) the voter’s name was mistakenly not included in the precinct roster; (4) the voter arrived at the wrong polling place; and (5) the person’s name did not appear in the precinct roster because the person who presented themselves to vote was not registered. Although election judges were told to contact the Election Board office if someone’s name did not appear in the precinct roster, they frequently did not have adequate telephone access to make the contact. Even where phone access in the polling place was adequate, there were insufficient phone lines and central office personnel available to allow for effective checking of the main database and authorization for these voters to vote. It is impossible to quantify the number of qualified, registered voters that were turned away from the polls as opposed to individuals who were rightfully turned away because they were either not qualified or not registered. It is also impossible to quantify how many of the qualified, registered voters that were turned away from a polling place persisted in their efforts by going to the City Election Board office and in some cases on to a new polling place or back to their old polling place to vote. It is clear from reviewing election day documents that several hundred people who were legally entitled to vote were required to obtain special authorization to vote and were often required to travel to the central office and back to their polling place before they could cast their vote. This number, however, is insignificant when compared to the total votes cast on election day in the city. Allegation. Many people who were not registered voters in the city of St. Louis or who registered to vote after the statutory deadline of October 11, 2000 were permitted to vote. Response. This appears to be true but did not materially impact the outcome of any contested race. There were many instances where election officials or election judges in the polling places appear to have permitted individuals to vote who were not registered prior to the close of registration for the November, 2000 election. The exact number is not presently ascertainable but Election Board staff currently estimates approximately 143 people fall into this category. There were approximately 491 court orders issued on or before election day in the city of St. Louis ordering the Board of Election Commissioners to restore the petitioners’ names to the registration records of the city. A cursory review of the facts and circumstances surrounding these petitions and orders suggests: (1) many of the petitioners should not have been refused the right to vote because they were duly registered in the city; and (2) some of the petitioners who were permitted to vote were not registered by October 11, 2000 and may not have been statutorily authorized to vote. In virtually all instances Board staff had stamped the petitioners “Appeal of Ineligibility to Vote Due to Close of Registration” with the following statement: “Ruling of Election Board - registration refused due to close of registration as prescribed in the election laws of the state of missouri section 115.135” In many instances the petitioner had, in fact, registered prior to the close of registration and in some instances the petitioner could have attempted to timely register but had been unsuccessful due to some communication error in the registration process. Also, there are certain statutory exceptions to the October 11, 2000 deadline that may have been applicable based upon the written statements of the petitioners. It is impossible to determine at this point what evidence was presented to the judges prior to the issuance of these orders. The orders appear to have been duly signed and appropriately honored by the Election Board. Allegation. Judge Baker’s order directing that the polling places in the city of St. Louis be kept open after the statutory close set forth in § 115.407, RSMo 1994, materially altered the outcome of contested statewide races. Response. This is not true. While there may be some dispute about whether everyone at the central office at 7:00 p.m. was given an opportunity to vote, Board staff are sure that the subsequent appellate order was honored and no one was permitted to vote at the downtown office who was not already in line at 7:00 p.m. No evidence has been presented to this office that would indicate anyone arrived at the central office after 7:00 p.m. and was permitted to vote. Although we are still waiting for the results of a follow-up phone survey underway by the Election Board staff, a review of the election judge supervisor reports and the roving deputy reports suggests that very few people arrived at any of the polling places after 7:00 p.m. to vote. Word of the extended hours did not even reach many of the polling places until after 7:00 and the election judges had in several locations already closed the polling place. Votes cast at the various polling places after 7:00 were primarily cast by voters who were in line at 7:00 p.m. and authorized to vote under § 115.407, although there were a few that were cast by voters who arrived after 7:00 p.m. Allegation. Election judges at 29 of the city’s precincts walked away from the polling place at 7:00 p.m. and left ballot boxes unattended. Response. This is not true. While not all of the election judge supervisor reports have been received and provided to this office for review, a review of the available reports indicates that some election judges left the polling places at 7:00 but the ballot boxes were left in the care and custody of other election judge supervisors until they were picked up by the deputies. There have been no substantiated reports of any ballot boxes being abandoned in the city. Allegation. In a number of polling places there were not enough ballots. Response. This is not true. Records maintained by the Election Board indicate that not one polling place ran out of ballots on election day. The Secretary of State’s Office will present an Issues and General Recommendations Report to the St. Louis City Election Board and the public in the near future. However none of the issues identified materially impact these results.
THE STATEMENT THAT DIDN'T MATTER--- Election day I travelled all over the St. Louis area from 6 a.m. until I arrived downtown for the third time that day at approximately 6:20 p.m. During my travels I noted alot of polling places were very difficult to find especially in the neighborhoods often considered African American or where those with less money live. Some polling places were in behind buildings with no sign or a small sign on the door semi directing where the main door was. It became obvious to me that those who might have vision problems or not be able to read well or have the tenacity to hunt for a polling place were being discouraged from voting in favor of those considered worthy of voting. Some polling places in nicer neighborhoods had Republican candidate signs too close to the entrances; I chose to add my sign versus asking that theirs be removed. I also noted only three places had people handing out literature even after the temperature increased beyond the morning damp chill. Because of all the previous intimidation, police state tactics, and harassment on the campaign trail by the Republicans this year I did not try to interact with voters entering to vote or exiting the polls because I was determined to stay free to observe election tabulation. All of those notes apply to polling places in both the city and county. Shortly before noon I went to the St. Louis County Board of Election Commissioners to observe whatever they planned to do for a mid day count, emptying ballot boxes, etc. The place was full of chaos, with people everywhere, security was very, very lax and non existent compared to my observations there in 1996. TV5 and what appeared to be another media outlet had the instructions for voting, sample ballots with candidates and complete text of the issues sample ballot completely blocked from the public. The cameraman was using part of the ballot box for his equipment and if the camera was on was filming voters. Some voters may have been intimidated by the lack of the secrecy of their ballot since we do not have curtains on the booths. People were wandering around everywhere and although St. Louis County Sheriff's deputy had one deputy walking back and forth he didn't seem to care nor know anything was not proper. I waited in what was marked as the "absentee" line and found it was a general information line. The African American lady told me there wouldn't be anything happening with mid day activities until at least 3 p.m. and perhaps not until 7 p.m. I inquired if that was due to heavy voter turnout and she indicated it was due to problems which she did not elaborate further on. She wanted me to sign in and wait at a table being used for VOTER REGISTRATION until they would be doing the mid day. I explained I didn't care to wait at least 3 hours and I would return. I returned to the St. Louis County Board of Election Commissioners around 3:15 p.m. and met the Libertarian representative going out the door. I asked him if that meant they were done with the mid day count and he said yes and they weren't giving out the results until after 7 p.m. I proceeded to get in the "absentee" line anyway and was behind an African American lady who was there to complain shehad not been permitted to vote at her polling place and had been told her name was not on the voter registration list. After digging deeper into the voter registration rolls the elections board employee claimed 2-3 pieces of the woman's mail had been returned. The woman argued that was absurd because she lived in a nice neighborhood and had lived there through several election cycles, had been on the same job for years, etc. They told her she would be given a special affidavit and permitted to vote and that all those people waiting throughout the building (amidst what was still chaos)for the most part had the same problem. I was then told the mid day count had not started yet, but should be shortly and I could wait at the table where voter registration was in progress. Beside that table were ballot cards that appeared to be for this election; myself or anyone at that table throughout the day could have accessed them. As I sat there a caucasian woman asked me for the zip code for some part of the county and I, of course, had no idea, but she proceeded to say she couldn't remember what the street number was either for "what they told me to put down". She was registering to vote and was permitted to go on through the line afterwards by "court order" to vote. I stayed approximately 20 minutes and as I started to leave found the voting instructions and sample ballots were essentially still blocked from the public and there was no posting of write in candidates. I also noted the ballot box slot was covered with a PRO-LIFE FLIER. I took the flier to an employee with a badge and explained where it was, she acted as though it was no big deal. (Although very much pro life from conception to natural death, I was reminded the law is the law and no campaign literature is to be at the polls.) |
I arrived downtown St. Louis, Missouri at approximately 6:20 p.m. election night, November 7, 2000. (At 5:37 p.m. KJSL, which had promoted the Republicans as being the only Christians out to save the world, reported Indiana's polls closed at 5 p.m. and Bush had won. The announcer was shouting and praising God for the victory and I asked God to show this nation the deception and expose all vote fraud and how any election could be called 37 minutes after the polls closed.) I parked about three blocks from the City of St. Louis Board of Elections so my signs could perhaps catch a few more voters. At that point I had no idea there had been any court proceedings in regards to the election nor that the lines were getting longer and longer down at 300 N. Tucker. There were two people on the corner across from me with Gore/Lieberman and When Women Vote Democrats Win signs. After about 20 minutes I moved the car closer and walked over to the Board headquarters to get checked in for observing the vote tabulation. As I walked up someone with a Board of Election Commissioners badge tried to hand me a number. I explained I was only there to observe and Rufus Tate's brother began to tell me of the court proceedings and what was happening. Although I had never met anyone from the Tate campaign before I was aware he was running as an independent for the position of circuit attorney. Security quickly told he and myself to move several feet from the line which was growing swiftly. We obliged and he continued to pass out his brother's literature. He told me there had been a court order that the polls in the City of St. Louis were to remain open until 10 p.m. due to so many having been turned away at the polls although they said they were registered to vote. I then asked a man with a Board of Election Commissioners badge if I could see a copy of the court order and he said they didn't have a copy yet. He added that the Republicans were appealing. Mr. Tate's brother also told me that when they turned in their petitions to be on the ballot as an independent the board rejected some 700 signatures and then stated they were 14 short of the needed number for being on the ballot. They filed a lawsuit and the Board then found most of the 700 signatures were valid, especially since it was pointed out to them those signatures belonged to police officers and others working for the city. As we spoke and still prior to 7 p.m. the door to the City of St. Louis Board of Elections was LOCKED. (I should clarify that access was further denied to going inside the building and the door was blocked by security officers and often by those wearing election board tags. I was told no one was allowed to leave the building from the time prior to 7 p.m. that they stopped giving out the numbers, like I was offered, Shortly after I spoke with the secretary of state's office, approximately 8 p.m. those wishing to vote were told "You will be allowed to vote IF you will stay orderly and not cause any trouble here. Form a line against that wall." That order came from what appeared to be a City of St. Louis police officer, who was progressively being joined by more officers from there and in numerous other type uniforms, from the Sheriff's office and UNKNOWN uniform types.Crime scene tape then was set up on emergency cones to surround those who chose to stay to try to vote. Obviously several left when the statement was made and setup of the crime scene tape began. One man had family inside the tape, but returned from taking a small child to the bathroom to find he would not be allowed to join his family inside the pen. At first officers weren't even going to permit him to return the child to a blanket and rest of the family. I spoke up at that point and insisted the man be allowed to return to where witness after witness knew he had been in line before the crime scene tape was put in place. An officer told the large man to stand right there and they would get him permission to return to the line; however, that permission was never granted and the officer said later he simply just could never find the right person to give permission. The man oust from the line kept saying, "God is in control, I'm not going to cause any trouble." And he kept feeling that they intended to send everyone home without voting anyway and the taping and line and everything was all just a stall. By 9:30 p.m. 14 officers of various type uniforms were standing 3-4 feet apart along the crime scene taping. I asked a sheriff's department deputy around 9 p.m. what would happen if I crossed the taping and joined the line. He shook his head as if he didn't know and at that point several of those who had arrived to try to join the line stuck a hand or foot over the line to see what would happen. The officers all acted as if they didn't know what to do, but I suspect shots would have been fired quickly had anyone crossed the line. One reporter from KTRS went along the line talking on the phone (and perhaps on the air) calling it "quite a mob scene here". The confined "prisoners" were all African American except for I believe one caucasian woman. Although a few of the officers and media were Black, most were White. An elderly woman in a wheel chair sat quietly shivering in the coldness. Some had to leave the line because of babies and small children getting too cold. Around 10 p.m. I walked a half block up the street and called the secretary of state's office from a pay phone to inquire regarding a woman who had just arrived and was saying the U.S. District Court had said to leave the polls open until midnight and had just been told at a polling place she would have to exercise her vote at 300 N. Tucker, but she was not being allowed to join the line. She also said she had worked all day in Arkansas for the Bush campaign. It did not dawn on me until later that she may have been at one or more unattended polling places and thought she might have been seen or caught on a camera. She appeared nervous and later it has been reported the U.S. District Court did not take any action on the matter of keeping the polls open. What all did happen at the unattended polling places certainly cannot be proven, however, this woman may be an indication certainly something did transpire. The poll workers need prosecuted for having left the ballot boxes unattended because such iolated Mo. laws and has tainted the entire US election as well. It is my understanding rom media reports that up to 29 polling places were unattended from the time the first ourt order issued saying the polls were to remain open until 10 p.m. and until police fficers could supposedly secure the ballot boxes. Obviously none of those police fficers were under oath as required to handle ballots and obviously teams representing hose part of both "major" parties would have thus transported the ballot boxes to he |
| There was a flurry of activity around the door of the 300 N. Tucker, St. Louis, Missouri and I noted some people were going inside. I asked female police officer Nocito, who was blocking the door, for permission to enter to observe the vote tabulation. She motioned for a Republican Party representative on the Board (perhaps named Duggar, most of them wore their badges sideways or upside down making identification next to impossible), who proceeded to insist I must not be a valid candidate and in a very intimidating, mimicking style voice ask "What party?" "Who do YOU claim to represent?" With my driver's license in hand for identification I proceeded to tell him I must be the Republican nominee since he was who thought he had a right to keep me from entering. He smarted off he knew I would never be that. I told him Buchanan's Republican controlled Reform Party and I turned almost into Officer Nocito and announced to everyone there I was being denied admission to watch the vote tabulation even though a valid statewide candidate on the ballot. The man with the Board's badge then said he had to go upstairs and inquire as to whether I could enter. Meanwhile the security officer for the lobby let two or three others in without hassle and I proceeded to tell him who I was and why I should be admitted. He saw no problem with that, but when he admitted me inside the first door Officer Nocito began to yell and insist I stop. She told him I could not be admitted until the other man returned. I assumed that meant they planned to treat me like they had the man who had simply gotten out of line to take a child to the bathroom and was not going to fall for more deceptive lies. I proceeded to go on with Nocito following on my heels quietly insisting I must please cooperate. She might have shot me had Mr. Tate's brother,who was already inside not stepped forth along with a couple of reporters, including the weather man from TV-2, who had never covered elections before and was fairly perceptive of all the happenings. I saw a couple of other Board of Commissioners badges and also watched as the Republican intimidator returned to tell Nocito it was ok. People were voting at booths with voting instructions torn and marked over. Numerous fliers were around telling people to simply punch 4 or 6. I never could find any actual sample ballots posted nor a list of write in candidates available. People were everywhere and I was not instructed as to any certain place to go or stay. Up a couple of steps were numerous workers opening and sorting ballots. People walked in and out of that room freely and there did not appear to be any security over the room whatsoever. To the right of the front door was another open door and three or more police officers watched ballot boxes being brought in and prepared to be delivered to what I thought at first was the room directly in front of the lobby area, but later learned they had taken ballots anywhere and everywhere. One person was alone with ballots over and over at this point and throughout the evening. I was told I couldn't observe anything about vote tabulation until they closed the poll, but when I asked what all this other activity was no one had an explanation. As the last ballot to be cast appeared to be placed in the ballot box Tate's brother and I tried to keep an eye on what happened to that ballot box, but we found it was whisked away by what appeared to be one person and we never again could find out what happened to it. (Any time we asked any questions of employees or those with Board badges we were told they didn't know or got shrugged shoulders except one wearing a Democrat Party Board's badge quickly said, "Absolutely absurd" when I tried to ask about the violations of election laws I was witnessing in the tabulation.) At 10:46 p.m. they issued what was called the mid day and absentee returns and stated they were finished counting absentee ballots. Later they claimed they were still opening absentee ballots and inserting them in with the ballots from the polling places for counting. Reporters leisurely gathered around a table near the copy machine and were content to not be concerned where anything else was happening. Unable to get a straight answer where the tabulation was taking place I proceeded to walk around and finally was told by an employee from the room working with ballots, the tabulation was upstairs. The staircase was at that time blocked by ballot boxes, which appeared to be unlocked and later I observed some from looking down overhead that some had ballots and some had been emptied. One person was with those a lot of the time AND THEY WERE ALSO UNATTENDED AT VARIOUS TIMES. I saw a man with a commissioners' badge heading up the stairs and I crawled through the same tiny path and followed him. I arrived upstairs approximately 11 p.m.and remained there until 2:30 a.m. except for two brief trips downstairs, once to pickup the printout and the other to ask for the ONE POLICE OFFICER ACTING AS SECURITY OVER THE TABULATION to take a report of crimes being committed.
A small room marked "Ballot Tabulation" had two women separating opening brown envelopes with white envelopes inside and taking a ballot out. (The last ballots cast only had a white sealed envelope thus I wondered if these were absentee although none appeared to have postmarks and we had been told absentee were all already counted. I did note one ballot box in the room marked "House vote". This room had people running in and out and was basically a third breakroom. Often only one person would work in this room throughout the evening and no one would ever tell where those envelopes being processed were from. Although Mr. Tate's brother could not stay much of the rest of the evening he did return briefly and also tried to help inquire as to where those ballots were from as well as some other questions. There weren't any observers MOST of the time for any of the tabulation activities. If anyone with a Board badge showed up it was for seconds and to generally grab a snack. A couple of African American women in house shoes walked through a couple of times with badges that said "observer", but they never watched virtually any of the activities. At one point a Board badge wearer emerged from the Board room alone with two ballots and had them added to the tray. He claimed they were disputed ballots the board had voted on and a woman in the room said they were to be placed with some precinct in North St. Louis.
The shirt of the computer company personnel said Miken or Killeen Computer Company. He kept turning sideways so neither Mr. Tate's brother nor I could read what it said. He also kept acting very paranoid that anyone would dare observe and kept shaking his head and whispering to some of the others as if they had to be more careful, but then the blatant carelessness and obvious vote fraud continued. For nearly 2 hrs. this guy, who probably was on contract and not sworn in to handle ballots at all opened |
| For Part II of what went on inside the St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners please see http://www.geocities.com/mpankey2000/stlouishoax.html UNFORTUNATELY A WHOLE SECTION PRINTED ABOVE WAS SUDDENLY ERASED FROM THIS WEB PAGE THUS A LINK TO THE INFORMATION WAS PLACED ELSEWHERE. NO VOTES FROM THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS HAVE BEEN PROERLY COUNTED. WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE DENIED THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE. AND WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY BALLOTS WERE ADDED OR STOLEN FROM THE UNATTENDED POLLING PLACES OR ADDED DURING THE TABULATION. What we do know is what happened in the City of St. Louis should NOT be tolerated by the citizens of Missouri or anyone in the world who cares about the integrity of the ballot box. Most of the media have managed to cloud what happened with the holding of the polls open for an extended period of time let alone expose what happened during the tabulation. U.S. Senator Bond wants an investigation primarily because of the polls having been open past 7 p.m. supposedly and, of course, because John Ashcrock was oust from the U.S. Senate even without the City of St. Louis vote. The Missouri Governor's race certainly may have been decided by illegal balloting or counting in the City of St. Louis. And even the secretary of state's race may have been decided by the illegalities in the City of St. Louis. Both major political parties were involved in what happened. The polls obviously had both Republicans and Democrats present when the walkouts happened. Both major political parties failed to do anything about the horrible things happening during the counting of the votes. And both political parties have on the one hand claimed to be simply wanting a fair election, but never want to address putting teeth into the laws to prevent similar incidents in the future or pushing for prosecution of those responsible for violating election laws this time. Any investigation is likely to be mere political rhetoric resulting in nothing happening and the same old nonsense is sure to issue from the City of St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners and most likely from the secretary of state's office that just not enough voters were disenfranchised to make any of this serious. I witnessed the murder of the ballot box November 8, 2000 and I hope I get to witness the trials of those with malice and forethought wilfully participating in that event. However, instead U.S. Attorney General Ashcrock and his Repbloodicon MOB associates are planning to imprison me WITHOUT trial on bogus NON CRIMINAL CLAIMS under Title 39 and bogus court orders from |
