OHIO IN MAYBERRY? VOTE SNAFUS HIT HOME

Republicans are now "absolutely convinced that King County is trying to steal this election," said Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance. There are Republicans urging us to organize mass protests, to take to the streets," Vance said. "At some point people's patience just runs out."-from the Seattle Times story, this morning. Meanwhile, the State Supreme Court is deciding whether to force counties to reconsider thousands of ballots statewide. In yet another irony, the attorney for the Republicans claimed that the discovery of the error in King County showed that counties can correct their mistakes on their own, thus making a court ruling unnecessary. If only officials in Ohio were also so inclined. The P-I has a list of "Rejected King County absentee ballots," to supplement their coverage.
