Election Fixing Charges Fly in Utah County
Voting appears to be very popular in Daggett County, Utah. Daggett County has registered 947 voters for Tuesday's election.

According to the most recent Census figures, that's four more than the county's population in 2005.

(...and that's not the only problem!)

1. Oh, JEEZ. I can't take it. It's easy to multiply this story by all the little
towns all over the place. That's probably one of the ways Bush became so "popular" in the red states. From the article:
A spokesman for Attorney General Mark Shurtleff says complaints of vote-stuffing in the county are being investigated. Democrats suspect County Clerk Vickie McKee is letting outsiders swell the Daggett County registration rolls to give Republicans an advantage.

The Democrats also say the father of a Republican deputy running for sheriff has 14 adults registered at his household. McKee hasn't responded to messages from The Associated Press.

This is PAINFUL to read!

We'd better smoke'em out, get them on the run.

2. I grew up there...haven't been back in decades, though.
We used to say we had 700 people and 700,000 sheep.

I finished 9th grade there and got to play on the varsity basketball team because the senior class consisted of four girls. The only team we could beat was the Utah School of the Deaf, and it was close.
