Ohio Secretary of State Insists Vote Fraud “Not Epidemic”
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 24 May 2013 | John Semmens

Posted on 05/28/2013 10:27:30 AM PDT by John Semmens

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted tried to reassure voters that the 135 possible voter fraud cases his office is pursuing do not constitute “an epidemic.”

“We feel confident that the majority of elections are probably decided in an honest fashion,” Husted said. “To believe otherwise would lead to truly frightening conclusions. We’d rather not go there. I mean, if people lose faith in elections how will we choose who will govern? Living with a little corruption is surely better than undermining the whole premise of democracy, isn’t it?”

The fact that it might exist at all should concern everybody.

"To believe otherwise would lead to truly frightening conclusions. "

We have concluded and we are frightened.

To believe otherwise would be naive.

Pelosi said: ...“[the President] doesn’t necessarily know anything about any agency of the federal government.”

Yep, I'll agree with that.

“The White House is a big place,” Pelosi said. “Just because Mr. Shulman and President Obama were in the building doesn’t necessarily mean that they met. And even if they had, it doesn’t prove that they discussed tax matters. I understand Shulman says he was there for the Easter Egg roll.”

Methinks Pelosi is the biggest lap dog I've ever seen...Not sure, but I think she's tied with broccoli when it comes to intelligence.

I just heard from the Broccoli Growers Association...they're offended by the comparison.

And then she asked the Ohio Dept Of Job & Family Services to investigate anyone who made such a claim.
