Preserving Democracy Continued
Blackwell Resurfaces
Testifies Before House Administration Committee

The indefatigible Brad Friedman of BradBlog has the story about Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's appearance before the House Administration Committee field hearing in Columbus. As most readers of this blog probably know, I repeatedly invited Mr. Blackwell to answer questions about Ohio's Presidential election, either verbally or in writing, and never heard back (despite his assurances, through his spokesman, that he would be happy to "fill in the blanks" for me).

While I await a transcript of his testimony, I am not encouraged by press or other accounts I have heard, which make clear that Blackwell has yet to come clean about what happened in Ohio. Indeed, Mr. Blackwell reportedly still clings to the notion that "Ohio...had one of the best Election Administration performances in the country." If by that he means that he was the best Secretary of State in the nation at weighing the paper that registration forms were printed on, well...I wholeheartedly agree. If, however, he means treating voters fairly, I don't know who to believe: him or my lying eyes?

hearing in Columbus, where Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was awesome. She rocks! Blackwell was late, and then she had at it and called him on the carpet. He sounds like an arrogant SOB. Let's all email Congresswoman Tubbs-Jones to support her good work.
