Daily Voting Nonsense: FL/Jennings Ed.
Well, you saw this coming. Via MojoBlog, it's so predictable I'm not even going to comment:
Read more…Remember Christine Jennings, the Florida Congressional candidate against whom the Republican Party spent $58 million on robo calls? The people who received such calls about Jennings were misled by the calls' content and thought that they were being warned about her by her own political party. They learned differently only if they listened to the entire call, which most of them did not. But when they hung up, they would be called again. And again. Most people, of course, did not want to listen to the entire call.
In Florida's 13th District, Jennings lost by under 380 votes. In Sarasota County, 18,000 votes did not register on the voting machines, making matters even worse.
Today, it was announced that a Leon County judge has turned down Jennings' request to access the secret software that operates the voting machines in the 13th District of Florida. Just as bad, House Democrats announced they would do nothing to obstruct the seating of the district's new Congressman,

It won't surprise you at all, but guess what's likely to be one of the last acts of the 109th Congress? eVote Fraud 'certification.' Brad's got more:
With Christine Jennings (D) contesting the results of Florida’s 13th congressional district race in court, "it is increasingly likely that the contest for the open Florida 13th district seat could end up before the House Administration Committee, which has oversight over federal elections," reports Roll Call.
Here’s the process: if a candidate contests the race before the committee, "two majority members and one minority member" investigate and then the committee recommends a course of action. "That recommendation is voted on by the full panel and sent to the House floor for consideration just like any other bill that is reported out of a committee."
"Because the Democrats do not take control of the House until Jan. 3, it is likely that any investigation by House Administration would be launched while Republicans are still in charge -- meaning the GOP will have the 2-1 majority on the investigating committee. But by the time the full House would be asked to seat the new Member, the Democrats would be in the majority."
