The OH Dem Secretary of State, among other things, is required to insure the execution of a fair election process.

Jennifer Brunner got slapped by the OH Supreme Court - unanimously - for her attempt to invalidate GOP absentee ballots.

Of course, with her tail shoved between her whatever, she praised the process...

and here is the court decision:

But feel free to deny, Dems. Your party is now controlled by hard leftists, socialists bent on rule by cadre, the self-important, intolerant, disputatious crowd. And like good sheep, you will follow them to the eventual removal of all individual rights and be subservient to the State. I wouldn't be at all surprised if in 30 years, your paycheck goes to the Federal government, and they will mete out money to you as they feel necessary according to their view - for your benefit, of course.

You saps can't smell the coffee, and in the rare instance that you do...you demand that the State protect you from the dangers of coffee.

Speaking of, I went to my local McD's for my morning coffee. The menu placards changed - the food pictorials on clamshells were replaced by the same food pictorial...but on plates. The shift manager got my coffee. I mentioned it to her. She rolled her eyes, put her palms out, shrugged her shoulders.

Is that even a fecking word?

Deny it??? We are celebrating it! Can't wait for the Reichstag fire so we can institute the dictatorship!

Be afraid!

One of the finer points to Cincy's "A" game is that he keeps me heading to the dictionary!

That is one of the most absurd assertions I've seen in a while. You haven't provided one bit of evidence to support that claim, nor do I think you would be able to.

I mean I guess the first thing we'd have to establish is who it is (if anyone) that actually controls the party. I like to think parties are not controlled by any one person, but maybe I'm wrong on that (Dick Cheney??). Then once we have a list of names we could discuss the character of these folks to see if they even come close to your labels. Right.

This is difficult to keep track of. We have Dallas Cowboys voting in Nevada...fraud in CT, IN, MI, OH, ILL..ummm where else among the 57 states?

And we are also hearing of attempts to remove dem registered voters from rolls in battleground states like VA, NC etc. We need a simple freaking national registration process for folks, you register as a damn citizin and ya get an ID card and along with that if qualified the right to vote. When ya go to the polling place your card is read and the fact you voted is registered.

I see the usual parade of posts deflecting, ignoring and ridiculing the initial story but not one of you saw fit to comment on the proceedings in Ohio? This isn't ACORN or some other fringe group of nut-jobs where we expect this sort of thing, this is a corrupt Secretary of State directly influencing an election (cue the Katherine Harris references). Then again, I guess you all just proved Cincy's point -- that the Dems are now controlled by such nut-jobs that you are all happen to indulge as long as they lie, cheat and steal for your candidate.

Pretty ironic considering some of you were no doubt among the whiners in 2004 over Ohio's so called voting 'irregularities'.

"You are hearing"? WTF does that mean? Have you "heard" from any other state SUPREME COURTS with rebukes to Secretaries of State? Did you even read the links?

Way to excuse outright vote fraud from the state's highest ranking official in charge of the process by attempting to compare it to unsubstantiated rumor. Fuggin' 'tard.

I love how it takes the righties to be on the verge of a humiliating landslide loss for them to become converts to what everyone else has known for years.

How about Texas. I see dead people

Thanks for the update Hannity.

Democracy Now had a report on voter fraud and even had Brunner on for a ten minute interview. I haven't gotten to that interview yet, but the entire piece seems pretty relevant to this discussion.

Who do you think is blocking the requirement to produce ID when voting? Hint: It's not the Repig's...

Whenever someone is asked for a voter ID in Maryland - the screams of "voter intimidation" are deafening...

IMO, this is despicable behavior by the OH Sec of State and there is no excuse for her actions.

Am I interpreting your reference to the so called voting 'irregularities' implying that they were nonsense and didn't occur? A precinct in an evangelical church in Miami County didn't report a 98% turnout, while a Cleveland inner city precinct turned out 7%, tens of thousands of registered democrats weren't purged from the rolls, voting machines were not misallocated, etc. etc. etc. None of that happened?

No, I wasn't implying that at all. I don't recall all the specifics about Ohio in '04, although I do recall that a lot of it was either overblown or sounded like local shenanigans that both parties routinely pull. I certainly don't condone or excuse any of it from either side and find it appalling that both parties routinely engage in all sort of unethical and illegal behavior around the elections. If I was in charge, people caught doing such things (ACORN being the latest example) would find themselves with very long prison terms.

But I sure do think there is a notable difference when it is the Secretary of State designing and directing the fraud. But is she going to jail? Losing her job? Punished in any way? No. Big surprise that it will continue to happen over and over again.

Thank you. We learned from the best. How do you like being on the receiving end for once?

PTR

For once?

ok, I wasn't sure, hence my question. It's hard to tell which election cycle in Ohio is worse: this year or 2004, based on the allegations, but in both cases, the Secretary of State appears to be the main culprit.

Haven't heard of Tammany Hall or the Daley family, have we?

Update: OH Sec. of State Brunner has to check questionable voter registrations, per full 6th Circuit Federal Court decision. She relied on a 3-Judge panel of left-leaning Judges for her initial win for her party.

She certainly, at this point, comes off as one to corrupt the process...

I am sure they learned from the previous administration...

I gotta LOL. Is this where the right wing knuckle draggers and the left wing hosanna come together to a point of agreement. They both do what the other accuses them of and ultimately realize that they are one... Facists Communists.

The absurdity of this thread and the history it references deserves only one response: "I fart in all of your general direction"

Your eloquence, and your elocution skills are noted.

Overruled by the liberal commies on the Supreme Court....
