Charges loom for Ohio election officials

A while back, a judge ordered all 88 counties in Ohio to save all ballots from the 2004 "election" until a decision could be made in that case.

So what did the counties do? At least 56 counties admit that they've destroyed some of their ballots. Seven counties admit to destroying all of them. Some of them even destroyed ballots before the results of the so-called "election" were certified.

So now 8 members of the Ohio Election Justice Campaign have filed paperwork in federal court to begin criminal contempt proceedings against these counties.

What this really means is that at least 56 counties in Ohio were so determined to ensure their demigod Bush won the "election" that they ended up doing something they knew they had to hide.

And I truly believe that. Ohio has so many corrupt Republican county bosses that I'd have to be extremely naive to think they wouldn't rig an election to such a degree that it tips the state's 20 electoral votes.

Now that it's clear that election officials in at least 56 counties defied a court order outright, I'd love to see what sort of brittle defense they come up with when they get hauled in for contempt.
