So Who Gets to “Change”

This article in the NYT struck me as kinda funny. Both Strickland and Blackwell are hammering on the need for change. Hang on. Reverse that. Yes, that Blackwell. A cog in the corrupt Republican machine that has all but ruined the state of Ohio. And HE wants a chance to change all that.

…uh…NO! You don’t get a chance Ken. You are complicit in both the country and the state going in the wrong direction. You are the one who pulled the most heinous display of voter disenfranchisement in state history. Let’s take a walk down memory lane:

• Misallocation of voting machines leading to unprecedented long lines, despite the warning that voter turnout would be huge
• Restriction of provisional ballots disenfranchised more voters
• Unbelieveably, you rejected voter registrations due to paper weight
• Your parties decision to engage in pre-election “caging” intimidation techniques further depressed voter turnout
• Your party engaged in partisan challengers for the express purpose of repressing Democratic voter turnout
• You disallowed voters requesting an absentee ballot and not receiving them on time from getting a provisional
• You decided not to investigate a single instance of voter intimidation and misinformation campaigns designed to deliver Ohio to Bush

So no, Ken. You don’t get a chance to “change Ohio”. You couldn’t manage it while you had the chance. You sure as hell don’t deserve a damned promotion!
