Up here in the land of yankeedom we have a more screwed up governors race than yall have by far. You see we have worthless hump of a present governor, Taft, that has been protected from getting kicked out of office by the states constitution. No recalls allowed. As such he's had a field day turning the state into a pit while in office. Take my word for it, it was a hell of alot better when we moved here.
At any rate we've been switched to an entire electronic voting system by this election. Aside from absentee and such the bulk is on the voting machines. We had a heap of crap with them here as well, including the town I'm in now. (watched an election worker beat the crap out of a machine in order to get paper cover to shut). With that we have this fine upstanding (sarcasm) individual in charge of our election system here, Kenneth Blackwell. (same arse-hat that promised Bush Ohio) A while back this clown decided he wanted to run for governor of the state in order to keep the Taft fires burning and status quo. While running for this office he's REFUSED time and time again to step down as the head of state elections. In short, he's IN CHARGE of the same election of which HE'S PART OF!
Well, time are hard for ol Blackwell. Seems his funding is running short and his poll numbers are less than satisfactory for getting elected. His other option, and no one here would be surprised, is to fix the election. That would be too obvious though. Instead, here a few weeks out from the election he's started to stomp his foot and beat his chest that his opponent has screwed up in some piss-ant manner one way or another and that he is considering to kick HIS ONLY OPPONENT OUT OF THE RACE entirely! Thus only leaving himself for the office of Governor.
Be glad yall at least get to vote for the clown to run your state. It looks like we'll get ours self appointed this go round with no means of kicking the jackass out of office.
