Delta Gamma Sorority to Serve as Technicians in Ohio Election-NOT FakeNews

[autorank]

This is NOT fake news, it’s real, from the Akron Beacon Journal, OHIO May 2, 2006.
Are you ready…?

“Jones said the board had believed that ES&S was going to provide company-trained technicians, as he believes its contract requires.

Instead, the company reached out to the Delta Gamma sorority to hire college students for the work. He said ES&S officials knew the sorority president and asked her to recruit interested fraternity or sorority members.”

Oh, but there’s more…

Elections Board member Wayne Jones, a Democrat, said Friday he is not happy with the caliber of "rovers" the company is providing -- sorority and fraternity members from the University of Akron -- and is going to put a stop to them.

Jones said the board had believed that ES&S was going to provide company-trained technicians, as he believes its contract requires.

"We're not going to allow them," he said. ``They're untrained, and they're not bipartisan. We can't have people walking around the polling places that don't have a clue about what they are doing. We'll have our teams out there.''’

Never forget the pursuit of Truth.
Only the deluded & complicit accept election results on blind faith.
Denying that Election 2004 was stolen is like denying global warming.

22. There Is No Such Thing as a Safe Democratic Seat In Ohio

[IndyOp]

2. THEY'RE NOT BIPARTISAN!?!?!?!

NO!!!!!

Little Sorority Girls and Fraternity Boys who fill out their absentee ballots together at their house, voting as a block for the Rethugs?!?! Not Bipartisan?

Richy, richy self-absorbed, I want an internship at Goldman-Sachs! Not Bipartisan?

Mommy, Daddy buy my grades for me and a new Rethug Congressman, too!! Not Bipartisan?

:nuke: :puke: :nuke: :puke: :nuke: :puke: :nuke: :puke:

3. Isn't that outrageous. Kappa Alpha Theta's would be fair.

:shrug: Don't they have any standards.

[Hepburn]

15. LOL....

.....I was a DG in the 60's and I was wondering if they had gotten any standards by now!?!?!?

:evilgrin: :smoke:

[Thirtieschild]

18. Absolutely, utterly, completely amazing

I was a DG in the 50s and I think not. Standards that is.

[autorank]

21. If I could remember college, I'd have a comment on the DG's...

...seems it was favorable (but consider the source;)

Cheers

[davidinalameda]

37. my dorm was next to the DG house my freshman and sophomore years

at West Virginia U

the only good thing about living next to them was the occasional hunk tied to the anchor in their front yard

[efhmc]

34. That would mean Laura and daughter since they were/are KATs.

But that would also mean my feminist Dem daughter (KAT)so generalizations are really not the point here. It is that these darings are not qualified.

[fighttheevilempire]

10. It's nice to know you're not prejudiced.

I'd say maybe 3 of the 26 members of my fraternity actually supported the chickenhawk-in-chief in 04. Don't lump everyone together. Nobody buys our grades for us. I've been working (sometimes more than one job) since before I was legally able to do so. I bought a 9 year old car with the money I EARNED, not what mommy and daddy gave. I've got probably 40,000 in debt by the time I graduate this summer. I'm not rich, neither is my family, and for that matter neither are the majority of my friends. Your post is totally unfounded in reality.

Frankly, I find it personally offensive and very presumptuous to assume you know everything about me just because I belong to a fraternity. Do you see Catholics and automatically assume that they're all "pro-lifers" who want to ban abortion and install the Pope as dictator? Probably not. However your thorough analysis is just as astonishing. Please pull your head out of the sand for long enough to notice the sun has set your pants aflame. Why does it seem America's #1 export is ignorance?

[redacted]

16. Although there certainly are exceptions. . .

I worked as an academic advisor for years at a major research university with a large Greek system, and I've seen thousands of student files. and I can tell you from my perspective that on balance, the stereotypes you argue against are richly deserved and persistent.

I think it's great that you don't fit that stereotype and have achieved a lot on your own, and it sounds like you pledged a really good house.

[autorank]

23. The thread is about outrageous elections practices, not DG's.

It's outrageous that we don't see our vote cast, can't see it counted, and can't ever see
the vaporware invisible votes BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL THE PRIVATE PROPERTY (YEP) OF DIEBOLD OF
WHICHEVER VENDOR OWNS THE MACHINES. We can't look at the machines, they're "trade secrets."

It's outrageous that we vote on machines period when Canada and Great Britain are able to
do all paper ballots election even and have them counted in public with as many on lookers
as show up.

It's outrageous that the great state of Ohio is selecting a private group (of any type!) to
serve as technicians for the DAMN ELECTION!!!

What's happened to this country. DG's fine, love 'em, have noting to do with this.

THE OUTRAGE IS OUT SOURCING THE ELECTIONS TO MACHINES OWNED BY PRIVATE VENDORS AND

NOW!!!

HAVING A PRIVATE GROUP - OF ANY TYPE - SERVE AS TECHNICIANS. THIS IS PURE INSANITY.

GO READ THE THREAD AND FILE A COPMLAINT.

31. You Are Missing the Point

It's the machines and the companys that will NEVER be trusted.

[Scriptor Ignotus]

11. if you were in my fraternity

I would totally haze you. :spank:

[Virginian]

4. Technically, I believe that would be Delta Gamma Fraternity for Women

One of the oldest "Sororities" in the nation.

[Virginian]

5. Dup

One of the oldest "Sororities" in the nation.

[IndyOp]

6. Kick - More people should know who really runs our elections! (nt)

:kick:

[Virginian]

7. Dup

One of the oldest "Sororities" in the nation.

[Virginian]

8. Dup

My connection is acting up. Sorry about the duplicates.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Yanno ..... there are a LOT of ears with fingers stuck in them

..... on our side.

I'll betcha a dollar to a dime that this sorority is a Young Republican stronghold.

[Scriptor Ignotus]

13. Why?

Because their families might be wealthier than someone not in the Greek System? Last I heard, college educated men and women were just as likely to vote Democrat as Republican.

Next time, please keep your stereotypes and gross generalizations to yourself. Thanks.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. What are you talking about?????

Had you thought before you lept at my throat, you might have gotten the sarcasm. Do you actually think Mr. Blackwell will be picking some SDS-types?

[Scriptor Ignotus]

20. ok - my apologies

that's the downfall of the written word, its hard to pickup on sarcasm sometimes.

[nashville_brook]

12. everyday the outrage grows -- i'm speechless.

[liam_laddie]

17. K & R

What states are holding primaries today...besides Ohio?

[NCarolinawoman]

19. Delta Gamma Lefty checking in here.

I also will say that I attended a private university in Ohio. I don't pay attention to the sorority stuff now, but many of the members of my sorority went on to be activists against the Viet Nam war, Vista volinteers, Earth Day people, Peace Corp. etc. It was an awakening time for many of us back in the 60's, and it had nothing to do with whether someone was in a fraternity or a sorority.

My nephew who attends college in North Carolina, recently joined a fraternity, to the dismay of my sister. Yet he reently joined the Young Democrats at his school and is becoming quite the activist.

[autorank]

24. With all due respect...

please check this out for clarification on the post.

[NCarolinawoman]

25. I see what you're saying. My reply should have been to #2.

[efhmc]

32. Me too and there are a LOT of us!

BTW. also not rich and neither were about 4/5 of those that attended the public University I went to.

[Amaryllis]

26. Unbelievable... who needs parody?

[autorank]

27. As Jon Stewart says, "You can't write this stuff." I'm all for

community involvement and contributions and I'm sure the DG's are doing this as a service
project. But ES&S has a contractual obligation to do this work. It's an absurd notion
that you just get college kids from one sorority or one any other type of organization to
do business THAT THE STATE HAS PAID FOR and that requires official sanction or state employees.

:crazy:

[ComerPerro]

28. Oh, great. Fratties counting the votes. Great idea

[JeffR]

29. The DGs were one of my favorites back in the day

Though a distant second to the Pi Phis. Nonetheless, this is a really, really stupid idea.

ON EDIT: I'm an almost whole-cloth Socialist, and I'm also a Sigma Chi. Just because someone is a member of a Greek organization doesn't make him or her a conservative, a Republican, a voluptuary or an idiot. And I find the stereotype pretty irritating.

[NastyDiaper]

30. Anne Coulter was DG at Cornell.

They were totally loaded. Full time cook, maintenence dude, even a housekeeper that made up their rooms daily.

They even hired frat boys (myself included) to serve them dinner.

A sense of entitlement, none of it earned, is a dangerous thing.

[efhmc]

33. OMG, I will now have to turn in my pin.

[Heywood J]

36. Snort

I'd be surprised to hear they didn't hire gigolos too, knowing the propensity for people like AC to have sexually notorious, illegal pasts.

[Up2Late]

35. I think you all might be missing the bigger issue here. It would appear..

...that this ES&S has little or NO fear of any Laws that would make this illegal and could land them in Jail. WHY?:shrug:

Why would they do something this bold?:mad:

Have enough laws been re-written now, or have enough people been paid off, that they have No Fear of the Law anymore?:shrug:
