New primer on understanding Republican "speak" (using Rossi versus Ohio)
By now I am sure most of you have heard that King County in Seattle has discovered 573+ absentee ballots that were not counted because of a clerical error. I think you can say that this is why recounts are done, to find just this kind of error. People voted legally and they voted according to the rules, yet Rossi and the Republican party in Washington State are now saying that the Democrats are "committing fraud" by "finding" these votes. In other words, people's LEGAL and VALID ballots are "fraud" according to the Republicans.

However, when it comes to Triad and the allegations of the voting machine "fixing" in Ohio, or voter supression in Ohio, or ballot irregularities (true signs of potential fraud) Republican's say that we are "tin foil hatters" or "conspiracy nuts" or "dissidents" or "dead enders" and that we should just "get over it" and "move on".

Yep, makes perfect sense.
