Recount asked in Blaine County sheriff's race

Blaine County Sheriff Ricky Ainsworth, who lost by one vote in Tuesday's primary election, has asked for a recount.

Ainsworth filed the $600 fee, and a recount is set for 1 p.m. Tuesday, said Jane Crawford, the county's election board secretary.

Unofficial results showed challenger Tony Almaguer defeating Ainsworth, 451 to 450, in the Republican primary.

The manual recount will be overseen by the election board and a judge. The winner will face Democrat Travis Daugherty in the November general election.

Skiatook sued over election

Two local businessmen have filed a lawsuit alleging that the town and its leaders disenfranchised voters by holding a sales-tax election during the throes of December's ice storm.

Plaintiffs Horace Paslay and Mark D. Smith want the results of the Dec. 11 election thrown out and a new election ordered.

By using portable generators for electricity sources during a widespread power outage, the town; its coordinator, Martin Tucker; and Mayor Steve Kendrick failed to provide voters with an "environment conducive to a fair and transparent election," the plaintiffs allege in a suit filed last week in Tulsa County District Court.

That alleged action, as well as others, led to a result that prejudiced those who opposed the sales tax, the suit alleges.

The permanent extension of a 1-cent sales tax for infrastructure improvements passed 211-132, according to Shelly Boggs, assistant secretary of the Tulsa County Election Board.

Paslay and Smith opposed the sales tax, saying it will hurt commerce in the town and promote development of the U.S. 75 corridor at the expense of the town's historic business district, the suit states.

Freezing rain that fell Dec. 9 and 10 downed power lines and crippled the state, leaving more than 600,000 electric customers in the dark.

Because several of the customary polling places in Skiatook lacked electricity, the town relocated certain polling places and failed to provide adequate notice of those moves, the suit alleges.

Three elections were held in Tulsa County that day, including in Jenks and Collinsville, records show.

Tucker said in a telephone interview that the town "had absolutely no authority whatsoever over polling places," saying that authority belongs to the Tulsa County Election Board.

"Whatever procedures they were supposed to follow, they followed," he said.

Tucker said he provided portable generators at the Election Board's request.

"The Election Board called the day before and they said, 'We're having an election tomorrow, and we'll do it in the dark and we'll count it by hand if we have to. Is there any way we can help?' "

The lawsuit claims that the portable power source was insufficient and that voters complained that they could not see markings on the ballots.

Skiatook voters live in Tulsa and Osage counties. Boggs said the board merged a pair of precincts in Tulsa County into one.

"We posted signs, and I know that Osage County was posting signs, as well," she said. "Voters were finding it, so we know the signs were posted."

The petition also accuses Tucker of "electioneering" by notifying certain voters of precinct changes, an allegation that Tucker denies.

to the woodshed, rinos!

Hat Tip to my buddy Beth @ 'my vast right wing conspiracy'


Posted by Beth on January 23rd, 2008

Excuse me while I join the Anchoress in escorting Reaganites In Name Only (oops! I mean angry conservatives! or did I?) to the woodshed. I’ll be the one holding a whip, just itching to use it.

It seems the standard GOP voter - and apparently Rush Limbaugh - wants to disinter Ronald Reagan from his noble tomb and hoist him onto the campaign trail because he is their saint and savior, and if they can’t vote for someone exactly like him “Ronaldus Magnus” well, they’re going to sit out this all-important election.

Excuse me, but Ronald Reagan would have had no patience for the likes of you.

Attention, fellow former Fredheads–you who say you’re a Reagan conservative, but refuse to learn the art of politics and teamwork in the pursuit of achieving big-picture common goals: If you plan on sitting out the elections, or, God forbid, voting Democrat to “teach a lesson” or whatever, you are not a Reagan conservative. You are not a real Fredhead, either. Neither of these men would do such a thing.

Don’t believe me? Don’t just take my word for it, although I know this to be an absolute truth–here’s another thing the Anchoress mentions:

Ronald Reagan above all was a pragmatist and a realist. He understood something that some voters seem to have forgotten:

“When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn’t like it. “Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything. I’d learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: ‘I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.’ If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.“
– Ronald Reagan, An American Life

Oh, how soon those dragging around Reagan’s corpse forget.

I find it literally jaw-dropping when I read someone invoking the name of Ronald Reagan, while in the same sentence (!) petulantly announcing that none of the candidates are conservative enough and that voting this year is simply not an option. Or even more amusingly, announcing that Candidate X has “betrayed” conservatives or “stabbed us in the back,” while betraying conservatism themselves. Huh??? Epic FAIL.

I’ll allow the Anchoress to finish. (Read the comments, too.) God bless her for saving me from a head explosion.

And thank you, Wuzzadem, for making me laugh as you always do. After the last couple of days, I needed it. :)
