What a surprise.
Two election workers were convicted Wednesday of rigging a recount of the 2004 presidential election to avoid a more thorough review in Ohio’s most populous county.
Jacqueline Maiden, elections coordinator of the Cuyahoga County Elections Board, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee. They also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty.
Prosecutors accused Maiden and Dreamer of secretly reviewing preselected ballots before a public recount on Dec. 16, 2004. They worked behind closed doors for three days to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand, prosecutors said.
Negligent misconduct, hell, if you ask me they should be convicted of every single murder the Bush administration has committed since the election, either American or foreign. And more than that, they should be forced to return the last two years.
So does this mean that there will now be a full
recount, or will this be swept under the rug?
What’s that sound? Sortalike “sweep, sweep, sweep.” Oh, nevermind. What were we talking about?
Exactly.
I expect to see this on the front page tomorrow.
Not.
