Shrub covering his footprints w/ this article?
Advertisements [?]
This isn't news! And since when does the AP cover the Amish country?
I know Kerry won PA, but maybe there is actually some proof of fraud, even though it was unsucessful?

Yesterday's article about an Amish dude refusing to take down his picture of Shrub at his farmers market stand. Democratic city councilman is demanding that a baker remove photos of President Bush from his stand in Lancaster's farmers market, saying the city needs a "healing period" following the bitterly contested election.

Now look at this article about the Amish supposedly "tippin the scales" for shrub. "Buggies at polls!" They normally don't vote b/c they work in the fields all day, but apparently not this year. The quotes by the Bush camp seem a little fishy too.

.....but those heavily populated by Amish appear to have higher-than-average numbers.

Lawrence County Bush-Cheney campaign supporters say the Amish helped tip the scales — along with many Democrats voting Republican

It is apparently the first time a Republican presidential candidate has garnered a majority of votes in the county since Richard Nixon was elected president in 1972.

Lawrence County has about 10,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, county elections officials say.

Bush-Cheney won the county by 410 votes, just about the number of new registered Amish voters that campaign workers say they signed up in both Lawrence and Mercer counties.

I'm callin Bullshit!
