Blackwell Testifies On 2004 Election

The only confusion if you remember has been in Democratic run areas. The incompetence in Ohio has almost always (in regards to election problems) been from the ones who are shouting now most. Do we also need to remember who screwed up the system in Dade County Florida? Who made those ballots. Shut the heck up and do your jobs well in the election Dems.

Washington, D.C. — It was four years ago, but it still gets Democrats and Republicans uptight with each other.

Ohio’s presidential election was on trial again. This time it was at a Congressional committee which finally succeeded in getting former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell in the witness chair.

There were handshakes between Blackwell and the Congressmen despite the fact that earlier this year democrats had threatened to subpoena Blackwell to answer questions. The questions included ones about long lines, and allegations of voters denied their rights.

Blackwell insisted the ‘04 election was one of the fairest ever held.

“We believed and I continue to believe that there was a good election in Ohio. It was not a perfect election,” said Blackwell.

Far less than perfect, said a law professor from Ohio State University.

“An atmosphere of confusion” is how he described it.

The committee chairman also challenged Blackwell’s upbeat assessment.

“We’re acting like nothing went wrong, much went wrong,” said Rep. John Conyers of Michigan.
