At 9am Election Day, a federal judge will decide whether untested and uncertified secret software will remain on Ohios vote tabulation and reporting systems in 39 counties.
Judge Frost, U.S. District Court Southern District Court of Ohio, agreed to the hearing to be held Tuesday, November 6. The suit seeks immediate the injunctive relief of removing the untested, uncertified software from all county tabulators. Should there be insufficient time or resources to remove said software from the tabulators, those tabulators will not be used and all ballots will be counted by hand if either the state or federal judge grants the injunction.
The Columbus Free Press investigation has discovered that the office of the Secretary of State has, at the last minute, contracted for special untested reporting software. Since this story broke, the spokesman for the Secretary of State's office, Mathew McClellan, has made false and contradictory statements to the press about the nature of the software and its legality. Husted's office has made every attempt to circumvent the law in order to suppress and now apparently steal the vote on behalf of the GOP.
