A Real Election Fraud Situation

Posted by Moonage on 27 Nov 2006 | Tagged as: Politics

Every single election, people all over the country whine that the election was fixed, rigged, or outright stolen.  Pretty much every time, it leads nowhere.  However, I have stumbled across a fairly local race that does show that sometimes mistakes ( or worse ) happens and the election is definitely in doubt.  Here’s a good one:

…The problem is there were 81 votes cast in a town ( Allen, KY ) with only 69 registered voters, Kinzer said in an election-contest suit filed Wednesday in Floyd Circuit Court.

"That’s a 120 percent turnout," Kinzer said drolly. "That’s pretty good, I’d say. It’s also a little outrageous."

The lawsuit names Allen city officials — nearly all of them related — along with Floyd County Clerk Chris Waugh (a former Allen mayor) and the county’s board of elections.

There ya go conspiracy theorists, an actual election that is definitely "rigged".  However, in this case, voters apparently weren’t discouraged.

Actually, I think a re-vote is in order there.  More realistically, I think the town just needs to dissolve and not waste their money on the re-vote.
