This is just great. This reminds me of when Wall Street collapsed. We couldn't fire the CEO's who did it because who could replace them? So the ones who crashed the economy were best suited to fix the mess they caused.
Well that reminds me of this
The Republican gubernatorial primary was just weeks away, and then-Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell had his sights set on securing the nomination.

Trump put Ken Blackwell on his voter fraud panel? That's hilarious. But like Wall Street, who better to catch voter fraud than a guy who committed voter fraud himself?
Every significant decision that Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell made regarding the 2004 presidential election benefited George W. Bush. Blackwell was honorary co-chair of Bush's 2004 Ohio campaign and served as an election expert in the Florida fiasco that ensued after the 2000 campaign, spinning the Bush campaign's case to the media.
Perhaps the most contentious of Blackwell's pro-Bush decisions was his directive to county boards of election concerning provisional ballots. Provisional ballots, whose purpose is to ensure citizens aren't incorrectly disenfranchised, go to individuals who claim to be eligible to vote but whose names don't appear on a voter registration list at the polling location.
Also included in the litany of Blackwell's pro-Bush decisions was his directive to ignore voter registration cards not printed on 80-pound stock. No substantive reason for requiring the heavy paper exists, leaving many to conjecture that Blackwell's intent was to exclude as many newly registered voters as possible.
By all counts, Democrats registered far more Ohio voters in 2004 than did Republicans.
Then he quickly certified the vote for Bush before Kerry could ask for a recount. And Ohio law says it's too late once certified. Pretty slick for an uncle Tom huh?
