Jesse In The Buckeye State
Alleging electoral fraud, has-been race hustler Jesse Jackson was busy this past week annoying Ohioans with demands that the Ohio Supreme Court
invalidate President Bush's Ohio victory.
Jackson said in a radio report today that proof of such fraud can be found in some counties where there was a large difference in votes cast for Kerry and votes cast for a Democrat-endorsed candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court. In other words, Jackson is claiming that the vote tally for the Democratic presidential nominee should be similar to the tally for the Democrat-endorsed candidate for Ohio's high court.
Jesse should take a break from stepping-out on the Mrs. to familiarize himself with the basics of Ohio election law.
Unlike presidential candidates, judicial candidates' party affiliation isn't listed on the ballot in Ohio. So Jackson is comparing the results of a partisan race to the results of a non-partisan race. Oops!
Looks like Rev. Jesse will have to find some other straws to grasp. Or perhaps he should just stick to what he's good at: blackmailing large companies, using PUSH/Rainbow Coalition funds to pay off his mistress and siring children out of wedlock.
