From The Daily Kos: McCain campaign admits mailing 1 Million bad ballot applications to voters in Ohio

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that "About one-third of the absentee ballot applications received at the Hamilton County Board of Elections have been ruled invalid because Republican Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign printed a version of the form with an extra, unneeded box on it."

This is verified; read the original story. "Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner says that if the box isn't checked, circled or initialed, the application is no good. Those voters are essentially admitting they're not eligible, she said....'The outrageous partisan maneuvering by Secretary Brunner is putting the integrity of this election at risk, and it needs to stop immediately,' said state Republican Chairman Bob Bennett."

I don't like this one bit. The election process should be sacred and non-partisan. Instead, there's the appearance of corruption inside the county boards of elections. To paraphrase Mr. Bennett, the outrageous partisan deception by the Republican Party is putting the integrity of this election at risk. This is clearly unacceptable, for any county in any state.

You were sitting at the wrong end of the table at Olive Garden last night.. the other end was all politics.. They were getting all into it. Glad I was in the middle (of the table).
