WASHINGTON -
Starting on a sour note, lawmakers holding the first congressional
review of the 2004 vote were upset by the absence of top election
officials from Ohio and Florida, states with many balloting
complaints.
The chairman of the House Administration Committee said he would hold
hearings away from Washington and continue to seek testimony from
Ohio's secretary of state, Kenneth Blackwell, and Florida's Glenda
Hood.
"I am disappointed that they are not here," said Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio.
"We can have disagreements, but you can't run and you can't hide."
Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald of California, the top Democrat on the
committee, said "the arrogance of these secretaries of state to not be
here today is an affront."

They should be siezed and dragged onto the floor to testify in irons.
