31. Oh, Ohio... most do not know of the riots, the outright electoral illegalities committed....

....sneeringly in the open by Ken Blackwell, who probably holds the record for most lawsuits filed against a seated state Secretary of State, with the exception, of course, of Cruella de Harriss.

Ohio was a brazen mix of every GOP dirty trick (electoral and otherwise) from the last 25 years. Never before in ANY AMERICAN ELECTION was the blatant disregard of citizen's electoral rights so shamelessly on display. Blackwell had no qualms about stealth and decorum - there was no pretense of validity or fairness. None. He simply did not care.

Thank you, Rude. Funny that this post has no responses or recs yet. leftofcool Aug 2015 #1
