Ohio Recount Rigging Case Goes to Court 224
The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that the trial of the three election workers accused of rigging the 2004 presidential election recount in Cuyahoga County is finally underway. As you may recall, this was the case where poll workers 'randomly' selected the precincts to recount by first eliminating from consideration precincts where the number of ballots handed out on Election Day failed to match the number of ballots cast and, then opening the ballot boxes in private and pre-counting until they found cases which would match up. What is interesting here is that they have already admitted doing this and that it was clearly counter to the letter and the spirit of the law, but still insist it wasn't really 'wrong,' presumably since they only did it to avoid having to go to the bother of a full recount as required by law.

Assuming that your verbal skills and personal hygiene are of a piece with your writing ability and unimaginative vulgarity, would you do us right-wingers a favor? Please do this in every election for the rest of your life. Make sure everybody around you knows you are voting for the Democrat. Don't skimp on the piercings, tattoos, patchouli, and blond dreadlocks.
Thanks!
