| Democrat Electors As Dumb As Florida Voters |
| 2004-12-13 |
| One of Minnesota's 10 presidential electors broke from the pack and cast a vote Monday for John Edwards, the Democratic vice presidential running mate for John Kerry. The other nine Minnesota members of the Electoral College voted for Kerry, who won the state's popular vote in November. After the state's Electoral College ceremony concluded, no one stepped foward as the Edwards voter. Most electors chalked the vote up as a mistake rather than a purposeful political statement. Unbelievable. This is the real deal, and one of these party hacks can't even get it right. Is there some genetic thing in Democrats that leads them to find ballots too hard to fill out properly? Sheesh. ``I'm sure somebody made a mistake,'' said elector Michael Meuers of Bemidji. ``I'm certainly glad that the Electoral College is not separated by one vote.'' No kidding, genius. More at link. |

| #2 They (LLL Losers) had a demonstration here in Sacramento protesteing the election and electorial college. I walked by with my camera in hand and there might have been 25 people. One with a bull horn, two with Kerry/Edwards sign, and others with assorted "Count the vote" signs. They even had one idiot waving at cars in a count (from Sesame Street) mask. I guess the rest of the LLL had to work today. |

| #1 Yes, but the act that this elector voted for Edwards for both offices means that his VP vote should be thrown out. Since it makes no difference in the outcome that will be unlikely. Oh well, since GWB has all the votes, 282, already marked for him (as far as I know) then just sit back and wait for the Veep to annopunce the actual result in the halls of congress on Jan 6. |
