The Cincinatti Enquirer reports that thousands of cards mailed by county election boards to newly registered voters throughout Ohio are being returned because the people can’t be found. Ohio Republican Party Chairman Robert Bennett says this is as a result of statewide registration fraud conducted by independent groups that support Democratic candidates. Democratic Party spokesman Dan Trevas said the fraud uncovered in Ohio equates to “minor errors” when viewed in the bigger picture.
State GOP records show that through Oct. 4th, Hamilton County mailed 63,403 cards to new registrants, and 4,152 were returned - a rate of 6.6 percent. The number was third highest in the state behind Cuyahoga County’s 14,461 and Franklin 6,917.
Well…if it’s not close, they can’t cheat. However, it’s close in Ohio, and the Dems seem to be cheating
(Thanks to Hugh Hewitt and the folks over at Power Line)
It seems to me that both sides have done a little cheating, and a whole bunch of accusing the other side of cheating. It’s as if they’re preparing for defeat instead of victory. What’s worse, they’re preparing for defeat by laying the groundwork to claim that the election wasn’t legitimate. Bad stuff.
What’re tryin’ to say? That my sainted Republican heros would stoop to cheating to gain an advantage?
Well, I’m shocked, just shocked that ANYONE would consider such a thing
Seriously, a couple of the news channels were reporting that the Kerry camp, if the election is close and he’s trailing, plan to have J.K. declare himself the victor and head for court behind a legion of lawyers. I imagine “Shrub” is going to do the same thing, now.
