Blame Democrats for Poor Election Handling
From the Enquirer
While most Southwest Ohio counties had nearly all their votes counted by 10 p.m. , Hamilton County still had only absentee ballots — and just 38 precincts counted.
A lot of that has to do with the fact that Ted Strickland, a Democrat, won the governor’s race last year.
In hundreds of the county’s 880 precincts, there are new presiding judges - Democrats, rather than Republicans - in charge of stowing away the election equipment, and removing the memory cards from the voting tabulation machines at each precinct.
The presiding judge is the chief poll worker; he or she is from the party of the gubernatorial candidate who won that precinct in last year’s election.
Hundreds went from Republican to Democratic in Hamilton County last year. The other three counties had fewer precincts switch.
Hamilton County Board of Elections chairman Tim Burke, also chairman of the county Democratic party, said: “There are a lot of inexperienced people out there doing this job for the first time, and it’s taken longer in a lot of cases than we had hoped.”
Republicans were clearly disenfranchised.
I blame Ken Blackwell. It would never have happened had he not done so horribly in his home county.
ModernEsquire… you’re a country bumpkin BS Blog putz
Now… regarding partisan control of our state election system:
Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.
WE WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN !!
NO NO…
Brunner has to go
just like her foe
We sang when he lost
“Bye, bye Blackwell”
Sorry Matt, Nothing new. It’s been out there a while.
This is about the Secretary of State being non-partisan
Neither Blackwell nor Brunner seem capable doing that.
I don’t know of a song about Brunner, but stay tuned !!

Dave,
I heard you’ve been banned from the midnight cafe. Word was you were driving people away with your rantings. Is that true?
Well no. You’re blowin’ BS
and you’re a freakin wussy anonymous poster by using my “Hickmania” nick name that “big boi” Bryan Clark of the Ohio Democratic Party tagged me with. Reveal your true identity if you want to be taken seriously.
Anyway, I’m at Victorian’s Midnight Cafe right now.
Matt could confirm the IP address because every PlunderDUMB and BS Blog administrator knows THAT Internet Provider address. This is true because several people (not just me) write critical replies, from this particular IP address, regarding PlunderDUMB and the BS Blog and a few other bashin’ and bannin’ enabling blogs.
So, is it your purpose to spread an untrue rumor ??…
… typical.
Also, I haven’t watched this whole video, but I was at the 2004 Election 3rd anniversary wake at Victorian’s Midnight Cafe last week.

Check it out to see if you can spot me… that is if you actually want to waste your time trying to disprove your unsubstantiated rumor. Regardless, by watching you can learn a bit about the evidence we uncovered related to the issues surrounding the 2004 election.
Anyway, what the hell does this have to do with how poorly the Democrats handled this 2007 election ??
That’s right, it has nothing to do with the premise of this post and thus you ARE trying to deflect attention away from the issue at hand by bogging this story down in unsubstantiated rumors and/or littering the thread with irrelevant crapola to dissuade people from reading down through all the BS.
This method and your rumor is a ridiculous and tired method to attempt to kill a thread. The actual incident I was involved at Victorian’s Midnight Cafe happened the other way around. I escorted a disgruntled former employee out of the cafe after closing about a month ago. It is amazing how dim wits like yourself twist the story around to create the opposite of what is actually the truth. Either that or you take grapevine information from a source who is five times removed from the original incident and who absolutely was not present during the incident.
If you want to confirm my claim, come to the open stage at Victorian’s Midnight Cafe tonight after 8:00 PM. I’ll be here and thus you can confirm that your source is full of crap.
How many other stories, regarding different topics, do you twist to the point of falsehood in the Ohiosphere?
I’d bet a whole bunch of ‘em
In this case, either your source sucks or you are a manipulative rumor monger.
Regardless, let’s discuss how the current Democrats screwed-up the 2007 election (as Matt originally intended for this thread to do).
I can’t say that Blackwell and Republicans did any better in the past, but that’s beside the point. Let’s keep this in the present AND inside the realm of reality and truth.
Touchy Dave.
Well, that’s what I heard. I’m sorry if it’s not true. I had just heard you were driving business away. Maybe there was some miscommunication in the information coming down the track.
You “heard” wrong… apology accepted… I bring business to Vic’s Cafe… obviously there was “miscommunication”
I’m not being “touchy” … I’m just stating the facts.
Come on out to Vic’s for the open stage tonight. Depending on who you are, I may buy you a coffee, tea, beer or mixed drink. But, don’t count on me treating if you’re one of the AssHat “Lie and earn” PlunderDUMB-BS Blog blowhards or if you are one of their enablers.
However, don’t expect any special treatment if you’re Todd Hoffman or Bryan Clark who “lie and earn” at Chris Redfern’s Ohio Democratic Party Headquarters in downtown Columbus.
Also, don’t expect special treatment if you’re a 9-11 Truth nutcase.
Finally, to avoid any confusion, could you please quit using my “hickmania” nickname unless you want to misrepresent yourself even more than you already are.
USE YOUR REAL NAME and quit hiding your identity
Thanks for the invite, Dave.
The democraps did great up here in Kuyahoga Kounty also!
Even with only a scant 15% turnout - SoS Brunnehilda, who runs the Kuyahoga Bored of Erections thanks to Bob Bennett’s ego fits, and her pigeon, BOE Director Jane Platten, still couldn’t get it right.
They used the “Inexperience Excuse” for their failings here too. With all the extra attention to detail and training prior to this election that is a sorry excuse.
Platten says she predicted that inexperienced workers would be a problem, but she did nothing to address it. Guess it would be to hard to MAYBE spread the “Experienced” people around.
