Yesterday, Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine was crowing after ORP's favorite Judge Reagan appointee George Smith ruled for them in their latest lawsuit that is a continuing effort (in a losing cause, I might add) to disrupt Ohio's election process,

"For some reason, Jennifer Brunner does not want these new registrations checked." "Her refusal to comply with federal law raises serious concerns about her ability to objectively oversee this election."

Wrong again there Kevin!

Appeals court sides with Ohio secretary of state

A federal appeals court sided with Ohio's top elections official Friday in her running battle with Republicans over how to verify the eligibility of newly registered voters.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals set aside a federal judge's order a day earlier that Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner institute the means to verify voter registration information and make it available to Ohio's 88 county election boards.

After John McCain's "Lipstick on a Pig" video was pulled by YouTube this afternoon for a copyright violation claim by CBSNews over the use of 5 month old footage of Katie Couric, the McCain Campaign Truth Squad was back at work immediately claiming their special brand of faux outrage over Obama's "Old Fish" statement

"You can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said. "It's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still going to stink after eight years."

title= Ohio's GOP are NOT happy about voting in yesterday's primary election in Ohio.

Why?

Because it went off so successfully.

The ORP using their media machine, has been predicting a doomsday scenario for the primary voting process ever since that secret meeting they held in January with Republican Election Officials.

With Deputy Chairman, Ohio Republican Party Kevin Dewine, heir apparent to out going Chairman Bob Bennett, as the mouthpiece, they have been releasing press release after press release disparging every action Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner has taken to restore trust to Ohio Voting.

Thousands cast their vote in ProgressOhio's "Grinch of the Year" contest, and we have a winner.

It was a tough fight. The winner beat out finalists Senator George Voinovich, Congressman Steve Chabot, "Citizens for Community Values" leader Phil Burress, and 33 other nominees.

Voters made a strong case for this Grinch

From The Ohio Secretary State Jennifer Brunner's Office:

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio’s electronic voting systems have "critical security failures" which could impact the integrity of elections in the Buckeye State, according to a review of the systems commissioned by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.

"The results underscore the need for a fundamental change in the structure of Ohio’s election system to ensure ballot and voting system security while still making voting convenient and accessible to all Ohio voters, " Secretary Brunner said Friday in unveiling the report.

"In an era of computer-based voting systems, voters have a right to expect that their voting system is at least as secure as the systems they use for banking and communication," she said.

As we all now know, US Senator Larry Craig resigned last night as Senate co-chairman for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, within hours after news broke of Craig's guilty plea to disorderly conduct after an incident in a men's bathroom.

"Senator Craig has stepped down from his role with the campaign. He did not want to be a distraction and we accept his decision," Romney's campaign said in a statement.

In May, Romney's campaign announced that Craig would be co-chairman of the Romney for President Idaho Leadership Team.

"Our government is in need of a proven leader like Governor Romney, who will put in place benchmarks and streamline our government using proven conservative principles," Craig said in the Romney campaign's statement. "His message is resonating with voters and I'm looking forward to helping him on his way to winning the Republican nomination."

U.S. Sen. George Voinovich’s well-sculpted image as a Boy Scout has been eroding for years (especially after we learned that the foundation for Coingate was laid on his watch).

Now, his image as a level-headed intellect is dissipating by the hours.

Poor George melted down during an interview with talk-show host Sean Hannity, who happens to be one of the right’s top-ranked talk hosts in the nation. The right has always been suspicious of Voinovich and now he’s given them more cause for concern.

It started when Voinovich showed that he misunderstood the ramifications of an amendment to the immigration bill. It ended when he hung up on Hannity.

For Ohio’s George Watchers, this was nothing new.
