h/t dark-wraith…

A top level Republican IT consultant who was set to testify in a case alleging GOP election tampering in Ohio died in a plane crash late Friday night.

 

and gee look…

The Republican consultant accused of involvement in alleged vote-rigging in Ohio in 2004 was warned that his plane might be sabotaged before his death in a crash Friday night, according to a Cleveland CBS affiliate.

Connell was the subject of a lawsuit by liberal lawyer Clifford Arnebeck, perhaps most well known for suing on behalf of 37 Ohio residents to block Bush’s electoral college victory in 2004. Arnebeck had alleged Connell’s involvement in a ploy to “flip” votes from then Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry to then-President George W. Bush.

Go figure. A person that was said to be part of vote tampering in Ohio for the Bush 2004 election was set to testify dies in a plane crash.

    How is a plane sabotaged these days? Was a wing removed? Was the engine replaced with a rubber band? Was the landng gear sawed off?

    Proper pilot training and procedures would remove 99.9% of all threats.

    Gee Mike. How is an election stolen? I think that the people who want to make shit happen have ways of making shit happen.

    How else can you explain the fact that Bill Lee kicked your ass?

    As a pilot my self of small planes there are many ways to wreck havoc . additives to the gas tanks for one a number of thing that could interrupt engine performance. Gosh Mike are you sure your a pilot.And yes Mike Jason asked the right question how did that down home farmer Bill Lee kick you ass, the answer to that question seems to be answered here every time you post.

    That is all.

  8. Delaware Dem says:

    Al Franken? The Minnesota Recount has been the most transparent and open recount in history. And once again, the Republicans have spent their time fighting votes being counted.

    Gives me the Ron Brown heebie jeebies all over again. Oh, I know, I know, that was pure coincidence, too.

    It would be nice to believe that the American people aren’t that stupid afterall. We’ll never know, but it would be nice to believe.

    Yes, Al Franken is a terrible person because he wants all the votes counted in the election. How will democracy survive?
