During the special two-hour election debate, Sen. George Voinovich (R)
said, "at the end on Election Day, and at the end of the recount,
Ohio's Secretary of State's Kenneth Blackwell and the bipartisan
election boards across the state did a tremendous job to insure that
the election was fair, and the results were without question and I
want to publicly applaud the good work of those dedicated public
officials."
Surely this couldn't be the same Kenneth Blackwell who sent a
fundraising letter to supporters over the holidays which read, "As the
Co-Chairman of Bush/Cheney '04 in Ohio, I want to say thank you for
helping to deliver the great Buckeye State for George W. Bush. Without
your enthusiasm, generous support, and vote, I'm afraid the president
would have lost... and an unapologetic liberal Democrat named John
Kerry would have won. Thankfully, you and I stopped that disaster from
happening!"
The letter isn't just offensive - it's illegal.
It contains a plea for "corporate & personal checks," when,
unfortunately, corporate donations are illegal in Ohio.
You'd think being secretary of state, Blackwell ought to know that.
And for those of you who weren't aware, Kenneth Blackwell is the same
guy who, among other things, tried to throw out voter registrations
because they were printed on the wrong kind of paper.
Don't you just feel like publicly applauding the good work of this
dedicated public official?
