Why Is It Always A Republican Wrongdoing?
I've been reading the article in the Daily Kos about the Presidential recount in Ohio, supported by the Green Party. David Cobb, the Green Party candidate was able to raise $150K in four days through online fundraising to pay for the recount. The article and blog responses also focus on voting irregularities not just in Ohio but other key states including Florida.
I think the Internet is an excellent tool for immediate communication and was impressed that they were able to raise the funds needed in only four days. What irks me are the blog responses that blame the lack of voting machines at colleges and universities on Republicans and the Conservative Right (see Melvin Frohike's response dated November 15th as an example). I've always thought it was the responsibility of the local elections boards to provide sufficient machines and not the Republican Party. Yet again, Republicans are lumped into one sum and are blamed for the ills of the world.
Post Script:
After learning that Ken Blackwell, an Ohio Republican was responsible for the election process in that state, I checked to see what evidence of voter fraud has been uncovered. After checking with the Columbus Dispatch , allegations of voter fraud have yet to be confirmed even with the Election Science Institute looking into the charges.
