Ken Blackwell: WAH WAH WAH: The Democrats are picking on me!

[beaconess]

Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has accused Democrats of plotting Election Day chaos by criticizing some of his directives and calling for his resignation.

Blackwell responded on Thursday to a call from Democratic state lawmakers that he resign because of recent orders the Republican has given county election officials. Critics say those orders may block some people from voting on Nov. 2.

"I anticipate that if this race is within what I'm calling the margin of litigation - 1 to 2 points - you're going to have bands of lawyers yelling and screaming at 70-year-old poll workers," Blackwell said.

"What you're seeing is a dress rehearsal for Election Day chaos."

Do something monstrously evil, then when you get caught make excuses and try to pin all the blame on your accusers.

5. What about the band of thugs who terrorized the vote counters

6. lowering expectation for what will be Election Day chaos (I told you so)

In the background, Rove smiles...thinking (I could have told you that).

7. Well, Republicans did so well with it last time

I can't imagine why it would distress them to have Democrats use their own ploys against them. Or is turnabout no longer considered fair play? Is that in the USA PATRIOT Act -- one of the lesser publicized subsections?
