Ohio 04 recount rigged. We told you so.
Ohio election workers convicted of rigging ‘04 presidential recount
CLEVELAND – 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. </i>
Hate to say we told ya so, but we told you so. It’s claimed they did it to avoid a lengthy manual recount. Uh huh. I’m sure it had nothing to do with swaying the election to Bush.
How ya feel about that now, huh? Good choice, to throw over democracy for a king?
