LowerCaseRepublican Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar...S0201/601130394 Ford won her seat over a GOP opponent by 13 votes, and irregularities such as dead people voting have been uncovered. Republican leaders said they may call for a vote next week to nullify the election of the Memphis Democrat. Attorney General Paul Summers' office said the Senate could to that with a majority, which is 17 votes. Williams said yesterday, however, that as chairman of a Senate panel looking into the election, he wants to wait until the state election office finishes reviewing ballots. Ford said she's not paying attention to Republicans, especially because they don't have enough votes. "I'm sure all my colleagues will do their best," Ford said. "I'll be ready for whatever that is." She replaced her brother, John Ford, who stepped down last year from the Senate seat after he was indicted on federal charges that he took $55,000 in bribes. -- What a great family. And might I just say -- Hey Tennessee, try to come up with your own original way to steal elections. Chicago's got the copyright on the dead voting. Or perhaps this is a bizarro Chicago where corpses cast votes for Republican candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they win offices all the time. Being in Memphis, I came to appreciate how well-run a city Chicago is (corrupt it may be, but it works). Memphis city government is corrupt AND ineffective.

It's not that there were dead voters in the election or anything. Gotta love the Tennessee Fords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That's why I did this, to save you from yourselves. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a city to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
