Lee County, Florida disclosed today that they failed to properly program their recount machines to properly handle undervotes during the machine recount that was supposed to be completed by 3PM today. The result is workers now have to hand search 293,000 votes to find the 15,000 undervotes that weren’t properly handled. County election supervisor Tommy Doyle says they hope to have this task completed by noon Saturday in order that they can then initiate the mandated hand recount.

Lee County, encompassing Fort Myers, is bone hard Republican to such an extent that Democratic candidates here are little more than sacrificial lambs. Let’s see if we hear any cries from the Russpublicants of voter fraud here.

As on most days, the New York Times published the daily itineraries of our candidates. Here’s what they are doing today:

Mrs. Clinton will hold fund-raising events in Denver and in Ohio. Mr. Sanders holds a news conference on labor issues and will give a speech at the Pennsylvania A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention in Philadelphia.

So Bernie’s talking about and to working families. Hillary’s raising $. From who? Well, the first stop is a fundraiser ($2700 a person for front row, $1000 by the bath) at the home of David Milenthal. David is a 1% guy who made his pile making energy polluters and health insurance companies look good. Here’s his Emppower Gas and Electric Bio:

“David is the founder of what became Moxie, a marketing services firm now owned by Publicis, the largest marketing firm in the world. Prior to selling his company, David built what became one of the largest independently owned ad agencies in the Midwest. Mr. Milenthal steered his agency into helping regulated industries transform their culture to be successful in a de-regulated, competitive environment. Mr. Milenthal’s firm worked closely with Nationwide Insurance, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and over 20 years representing investor owned electric utilities in Ohio. At various times in his career, he was agency of record for the Ohio Electric Utility Institute (association of all Ohio utilities), Ohio Edison (now First Energy), Cinergy (now Duke), and American Electric Power.”

Second stop with the Governor of Colorado. The $500 seats are sold out. But you can still get in for $1000 (bath) or $2700.

Has Anyone ever poisoned more Americans than Rick Snyder?

That’s my diary. That’s it.

Well it looks like one tea party opponent to Fast Track may miss the vote.

SW Florida Tea Partying Congressman Curt Clawson has just flown the DC coop to be with his ailing mother, link here:

Clawson is one of the 40 or so Republicans who oppose Fast Tracking the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, and whose opposition, absent multiple Democratic defectors, will sink Fast Track. link here:

We can only hope that Curt's Mom has a very speedy recovery and he doesn't miss casting the most important vote of his new career, a "no" vote that would undoubtedly piss off Speaker Boehner and a lot of big corporations.

Not to be outdone by Texas Governor Abbott stalking the U.S. Military, Florida's Rick Scott proposes to socialize the hospitals in Florida like they do in "major league baseball". The plan, which he wants the hospitals to draw up, would have the more profitable hospitals give money to less profitable hospitals to cover the loss of federal funding and avoid having to accept expanded Medicaid - link here: http://www.news-press.com/....
Gotta wonder if he cleared this with the Kochs.

Judge Diane Wood of the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has ordered that 14 pages of filings in the Walker Campaign John Doe probe made by the Koch Brothers, I mean Wisconsin Club for Growth, be released. The Kochs' lawyers fought to keep these submissions sealed so the should be some interesting disclosures (like the names of targets of the investigation?) released.

Once in awhile I read a story that feels like a stab in the heart - today's story in the Milwaukee Journal is such a story. A federal judge, appointed by Papa Bush, has ordered a Wisconsin "John Doe" probe into campaign law violations involving Scott Walker's 2012 recall campaign and The Club for Growth to be halted and, incredibly, all related documents obtained by the prosecutors to be destroyed.

The ruling is almost certain to be appealed and it's likely to be overturned by the Circuit Court of Appeals. But then it's time for the Supremes to hear the case and we all know how five of those guys feel about campaign finance laws.

This is real bad news folks. Link to Journal story here:

In what appears to be the first time in history, and contrary to longstanding legal precedent, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has refused to unseal a Decision related to anonymous parties trying to stop a "John Doe" probe into financing of Scott Walker's recall campaign. The Wisconsin Club For Growth (anybody sense the aroma of Koch in the room?) appears to be involved. In any case, the investigation is making some very, very powerful people are very, very nervous.
