Here we have a DUmmie leading TIA to the next windmill to tilt at.

That's the funkin' funniest photo I've seen in a good long while.
Could be. There are two veins to the DUmmie paranoia. One is centered on the all-electronic touchscreen, no paper trail machines. (There may actually be some merit to the idea of having a paper audit trail on such a machine. Even blind pigs find an acorn every once in a while.)
The other is that the machines that count paper ballots are likewise programmed to cheat. I suspect this is what they are complaining about in this instance.
You are right, of course, that if they ended up counting ballots by hand, this is the exact scenario they claim to desire as the only way of having valid elections.
They also insult every member of every county board of elections (and lesser officers), making them all into partisans and not realizing that such boards are generally balanced between the parties. Sure, it's possible that in some precincts are rotten, but I suspect that in Philladelphia, not in rural Ohio.

In order to understand the pathetic combo of the liberal reaction to this election, one needs to reflect on the 2002 and 2004 election results in this district.
2004: Portman (R) 227,102 72%
Sanders (D) 89,598 28%
Total 316,700

2002: Portman (R) 136,523 74%
Sanders (D) 47,618 26%
Total 184,141

2005: Schmidt (R) 59,132 52%
Hackett (D) 55,151 48%
Total 114,283

No one voted in this special election. They stayed home. A combination of apathy of voters and lying by Hackett netted this result. A result which still ends in a winner Republican and a loser fraud liberal Democrat.
In 2006, Schmidt will crush her liberal opponent.
I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN''''TTTT BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Perhaps"? "Could be"? Where's your faith, man? We all KNOW Hackett won!
Philadelphia's city government would be happy to take over the job. Contracts for the Mayor's family are being crash printed in preparation for the day.
. . . beating the snot out of the donkey in the basement.

Yes, you will ignore it. Because the mega-pattern is that, across the nation, in state after state, the Democrat Party has been on a downhill slide ever since the Clintons took over in 1992.
But... I thought Washington State and our Governess Gregoire PROVED that a hand count was the ONLY accurate way to count.
Or am I dreaming, and Dino Rossi is my governor?
Damn. They figgurd out our srategery!!!
But the problem with this conspiriacy is that the votes in the final precincts were 'HAND COUNTED' by the election boards, which consist of an equal number of Republicans and DUMBOcrats.
What they are saying here is their 'OWN DUMBOcrat' election officials were in on the fix.
BwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaa
Yes, there was a very reliable exit poll that had Hackett up by 25%. This was shortly after the polls opened, and the Hackett family had just voted, and Hackett was up, 5-3. (Three of Hackett's relatives voted for Schmidt.)
I love how these DUmmie pundits, who want to sound like knowledgeable insiders, are always referring to particular counties in faraway states, and just by the name, without the "County." "Claremont had to be hand-counted," "Trouble in Volusia," etc. Ooooh, I'm impressed!
As I understand the situation, without the aircon, the humidity was so high (paper ballots absorb the humidity and change the thickness of the ballot) that the counting machines failed, so they went to a hand count, supervised by an equal number of Republicans and DUMBOcrats. It wasn't the 'tabulators' it was the counting machines.
Apparently the DUMBOcrats were in on the fix.
In spite of the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth at DU, I'm sure the Dem political pros are rubbing their hands in glee this morning. The new Dem "chameleon" strategy for red states and districts of their candidates masquerading as Repubs in every aspect except party label had it's trial run yesterday in OH, and it was fabulously effective. IIRC Repubs have something like a 65-35 advantage in party registration in that district, yet a Dem chameleon only lost by 52-48.
I am not in OH, but I watched a couple of Hackett's TV spots that were shown on a network piece about the election, and except for the obligatory tagline at the end which identified who paid for the ad I would have thought it was run by a moderate Republican.
I only hope the Repub strategists are working hard on an effective way to counter that insidious Dem strategy of confusing and deceiving inattentive Repub and independent voters with chameleon candidates.
The machine didn't work 'cause the Dems tried to Hackett.
The real problem with voter fraud is with the Democrat "machines" in the big cities.
There is fraud in any election that demonrats are involved in. IMO That includes their own primaries and so called "non-partisan" elections.
We don't count Democrat auto plant worker votes. Directive from Rove.
I have never seen an Ohio ballot, but in Missouri, the party affiliation of the candidate is prominant. I would put this more on apathy of the Republicans than anything else. It was off cycle in a very dominant Republican district. My thought is that most Republicans just didn't bother to vote.
I love that photo.
The lefties are so immature that they believe, like some four year olds, that if they want something, they are entitled to it. At least the four year old has an excuse; they're four.
