House throws out challenge of rigged election

I think that whole thing about Congress being controlled by the Democrats now is just an urban legend. The Senate confirmed Mukasey, of all people, so what are we supposed to think?

Now the allegedly Democratic House has dismissed a challenge to a flawed 2006 House election that took place in Florida. In that so-called election, Democrat Christine Jennings "officially" lost to Republican Vern Buchanan by only 369 votes. But it was suspicious, because this vote - which used touch-screen machines - had 18,000 ballots that were counted as having no vote in that race.

So we're supposed to believe that 18,000 people just in one part of Florida went to the polling place only to cast a blank ballot? Does anyone believe that?

Apparently the House does, because they dismissed Jennings's complaint on a voice vote - which means we'll never know which lawmakers sided against contesting the sham election.

A state audit found no evidence of vote machine glitches - but from the recent history of corruption by Florida election officials (the same rightist poologs who deliberately sat on the complaint against Ann Coulter until the statute of limitations had expired), nobody can trust that.

In this year's election, there's gonna be a rematch. I wonder if Vern Buchanan is safe, because the 2006 woes led to Florida abolishing faulty touch-screen machines. There could be laughs on the way.
