Why I Make Fun Of Florida and Michigan
By: Mark W Adams


Other than that whole angry rat thingy being the MSU mascot, and Mickey Mouse being Florida's state rodent ... those guys are election screw-up amateurs.

When it comes to sinister electioneering and just plain political rat-fucking, nobody holds a candle to the crap my former Secretary of State, Kenny Blackwell, was up to here in Ohio. Some of which only now is coming to light two years after he was thrown out of office -- four years after he arranged for Diebold to steal the election for George Bush.
Ohio's voting machines are now an official crime scene

At least 15 touch-screen voting machines that produced improbable numbers in Ohio's 2006 statewide election are now under double-lock in an official crime scene. And the phony "Homeland Security Alert" used by Republicans to build up George W. Bush's 2004 vote count in a key southwestern Ohio county has come under new scrutiny.
Fortunately we have a crack squad of newly empowered Democrats on the case who found evidence of fraud through the exhaustive process of ... trying to vote.
The touch-screen machines were locked up after Ohio's new Democratic Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, tried to vote last fall. On November 6, she spotted a gray bar with the words "candidate withdrawn" in a slot where the name of Democrat Jay Perez should have appeared. Her husband, voting nearby, told her Perez's name did appear, as it was supposed to, on his machine.
Ahah! Zee Game, she is a foot!
Ironically, Brunner requested a paper ballot in the March 4, 2008, primary, but a poorly trained poll worker gave her a provisional ballot instead. Two other staffers from her office were also given the wrong ballots. Brunner has since pledged to upgrade the training for Buckeye State poll workers.

Brunner further announced that she's banning the practice of so-called "sleepovers" where poll workers take the programmable and easily hackable voting machines home with them overnight prior to an election day.
Sleep F#$%#ing Overs!?!?!?!?!? What the bleeding hell.......

Cheese and Rice! @#$%@#%# Sleepovers!~!!~!!! ?????

Is this some kinda joke? This ain't prom queen we're voting for here.

Go read the whole sad saga at FreePress that tracks how our new Secretary of State Brunner and Attorney General Marc Dann have been fighting an uphill battle with entrenched machines (both mechanical and human) to just simply count our votes ... and yes, it even mentions the Limbaugh effect which added to Hillary Clinton's victory in the Buckeye State causing a shortage of democratic ballots.

And yes, Virginia, there might be a pony in it for you after all, now that there's an official investigation of fraudulent GOP cross-over voters.

Tell you what my Florida friends: if and when you finally manage to throw the GOP out of Tallahassee, buy a lot of garbage bags -- because I suspect that things have been going on much longer and much worse than here, so you've got a lot of trash to clean up.

As for Michigan, see you guys in November. (Not the election silly, at the Horseshoe on Game Day two weeks later -- losers.)

Interesting post, Mark. It's sad that the no good, dirty, liar "Blackdbad" has so royally phucked our election system Ohio is a running joke.

I think we did well in the March 4th Primary, but it's gonna take time. Have "realistic hope" and smear the dogshit out of that "Reverse Ace", John "Keating Five" McCain!
