Having lived in Ohio when I was growing up, I automatically made the assumption that they were Dems from that part of the State. All I can remember is problems with Cleveland in elections. We had to get out the vote in the rest of the State to offset the fraud in Cleveland.

I grew up in Ohio too...in the Columbus area...and it was well known then (as now) that Cuyahoga County was the most corrupt part of the state. Now that they have lost population to other parts of the state, they have simply increased the fraud.
Those people who died and moved out? Don't worry, they can still vote in Cuyahoga County! /sarc

Cleveland grandmother Jacqueline Maiden, 59, is married to a preacher at a Baptist church and has never before been in trouble with the law, her attorney says.


Maiden has been an election board employee for more than 20 years and is married to the Rev. Albert Maiden, pastor of New Zion Mission Baptist Church of Cleveland, Rotatori said.


The original judge in the recount case, former Common Pleas Judge Judith Kilbane Koch, discussed the botched primary during a hearing held June 27 last year in her courtroom.


The affidavit said Koch griped in court that the Democratic Party had mistreated her by failing to endorse her in a May 2006 judicial election.

Three days of hand-picking ballots to recount is laziness? On what planet, may I ask?

On Planet King County, WA.

If they were really professional recount riggers, they would have been so brazen in their attempt so as to completely bypass indictment, such as claiming that ballots were found in warehoused punch machines that were not discovered in two prior recounts, but should still be counted in the third recount so that the Democrat could win the Governor's race.

I am not surprised the fraud has increased. I was on pins and needles the night of the 2004 election knowing Cuyahoga County was still out. I had flashbacks!

Party?

Two words: Cuyahoga County. Probably the most liberal county in Ohio.

Sure, all plausible reasons.

Still, the point of the article is to question Bush's second term, just like his first. This is the San Francisco Chronicle, after all.

Another Selected, Not Elected.

I cross referenced against whitepages.com and still couldn't find information. That Ohio site admits that data may not be complete. Under a freedom of information act you should be able to request voter information (including party affiliation, if any is noted from a primary vote) from that county (email addresses are on that site).

I do agree that it is easier to look people up on some of the other states sites.

Completely credible. They didn't want to work that hard on something that they knew was not going to matter.

Irrefutable proof they were lazy socialist Democrats. When have you ever seen a Democrat work hard when they can fleece the public and collect their paychecks instead?

>>Whenever party affiliation is not mentioned in a political-type story, especially one that involves a scandal, you will 99% of the time be correct if you assume the person in question is a Democrat.

One tidbit in the story gives a big clue as to where they stand: "Kerry gained 17 votes and Bush lost six in the county's recount."<<


Thank goodness its not a big enough scale to make a difference/controversy.

BTW, who commits a crime to rig 20 votes in a big state? Sounds stupid on the surface.

The liberal blogger spin on this is that this story is proof that Ohio was stolen for Bush.
