Blackwell Won't Remove Himself From Election Investigation

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Ohio Democratic Party on Monday called on Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell to remove himself from investigating what went wrong with the primary election in Ohio's largest county, saying the Republican gubernatorial candidate faces too many conflicts of interest to properly oversee the probe.

Blackwell's spokesman immediately rejected the request for him to step aside from looking into the elections board in Cuyahoga County, which has just over 1 million registered voters and is crucial to any candidate hoping to win in November. "It's a silly request," said James Lee, a spokesman with the secretary of state's office. "The people of Ohio twice elected Ken Blackwell to serve as secretary of state. He will continue to serve."

Problems last Tuesday, including poll workers who did not know how to turn on new electronic voting machines and some who turned a few voters away because of the hiccups.

The worst problems were in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, where some poll workers did not show up to open voting sites and officials ordered the hand counting of more than 17,000 ballots after new optical-scan machines produced inconsistent tabulations.

1. Fraudwell is neck deep in the election fraud that took place in Ohio

He has served his masters well and they in turn have covered his considerable ass more than once. I'm not sure how much more of thumbing his nose at the rule of law he can get away with. The heat has been turned up a few notches since the recount fraud and his masters are up to their necks with their own scandels. I look forward to the day that he is removed from office and is indicted for all of his crimes against this country.

3. But Can Anything Stop Him From Stealing the Governor's Office?

All Blackwell Has to do is

and he becomes Governor of Ohio. It's that simple.
He only fails if he gets caught, and who is in a position to catch him,
when he, as Secretary of State, provides the only oversight?
