Amazingly enough -- or perhaps not, since this is Ohio, after all, where the rule of law no longer actually applies -- the story also reports that "All three [indicted] employees continue to work at the board."
"We're in the process of converting to the electronic voting, and we need our best people," board chairman Bob Bennett said. "We've moved them from any responsibility of recount or responsibility of ballots." Sure you have, Bob. We all feel much better. We guess by "best people" he means the ones who are most indicted. (Perhaps he should consider hiring the affable Jack Abramoff to answer the phones for them during this busy season?!) |
