Remember back to 2000. The Democrats wanted to count every vote (in Democratic precincts). They didn’t care what the law said or what the rules were. They sat down and inspected each ballot with a magnifying glass looking for voter intentions to add to the tally. When that didn’t work, they wanted more time to find more votes. The rules were not important. The only thing that was important was that every vote was counted.

Then remember back to 2008. Democrats again played fast with the rules so that nasty Al Franken could replace Norm Coleman.

But now in Pittsburgh, the Democrats have a new mantra.

I am sympathetic to the voter, but the law is the law.

That was the response from Jane Braunlich’s lawyer, Patricia McGrail. Jane Braunlich won an election for councilwoman by one vote. Except there is a wrinkle. A misplaced absentee ballot was found days after the election. That created a tiebreaker…that the Democrats lost. That ballot belong to a National Guardsman in Afghanistan. A judge recently ruled that our soldier’s vote didn’t count because the Judge of Election opened it improperly. Read more…

WHAT?!?!?!??! His vote doesn’t count through no fault of his. It doesn’t count because of the Judge of Elections didn’t follow procedure.

Democrats are pitiful. They want to invent votes from dimples on unnamed ballots, yet they will ignore a clear vote from a soldier because “the law is the law.”

NOTE: For those of you who don’t know, the Judge of Elections is a volunteer who agrees to oversee the election. They are not highly qualified and have very little training. It can be difficult to find a volunteer for Judge of Election in many precincts because it pays little (taking time away from work and family) for a very long day.
