well, to be fair, it *has* been 8 years moondog Send a noteboard - 11/04/2012 03:49:17 AM
so much so, that ken blackwell requested immunity from having to testify about his role as secretary of state for that election. that makes two presidential elections in a row (2004 and 2008 ) in which ohio had problems with the voting process. one was run by an R and the other by a D. now tell us again how the R's are infallible at running elections? :rolleyes:


I believe Blackwell claimed Sovereign Immunity, as SecState, that's a good deal different then the way you make it sound, like he got immunity in exchange for damning testimony. Maybe he did as you say but I've never heard of it, and Sovereign Immunity is an entirely different animal, dealing with whether or not a government can be sued without its consent.


and my memory is not the best these days. i was also pretty close to the recall effort because i was working with the greens at that time and we had our own opinions of blackwell that were different than what was reported in the media :|

How long voting takes is a function of machines, not voters. Joel - 10/04/2012 02:08:39 PM 485 Views
It's a function of various factors, that can certainly be one Isaac - 10/04/2012 08:12:08 PM 447 Views
