Still No Love from the DNC

Man, all Ohio all the time with those folks at the DNC. It's not like the U.S. Attorney's office has actually found 4,609 more votes than voters in the City of Milwaukee alone. (Oh wait...)

Well, Dean is placating the the Kos-heads and the MoveOn.Orgers again. (HT - Byron York in the Corner.) The DNC has issued a "study" on voter irregularities in Ohio.

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean today said that "It's clear that there was massive voter suppression" in Ohio in the 2004 presidential election. Dean pointed to an "appearance of impropriety" in the actions of Republican election officials in Ohio, adding that, "It's been widely reported over the last years that Republicans do target African-Americans for voter suppression." Dean said that Democrats could "not conclude one way or the other" whether John Kerry would have won if the alleged suppression had not taken place. Addressing possible Republican objections to his charges, Dean said that Republicans "don't care what the facts are" and that "blather and hot air" will not change the facts of the situation in Ohio. Dean made the statements this morning at a press conference in Washington unveiling a new DNC study of the Ohio vote.

There are words I could use to describe Dean and his "study" at the moment, but children might be reading this.

RNC Chair Ken Mehlman has already issued a statement (also through York)

Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman just released a statement on the new Democratic study alleging massive irregularities in Ohio: "The report is pure political fiction," Mehlman writes. "The undisputed facts in Ohio are: Democrat officials had to be stopped by the courts from misleading voters about the day of the election; a Democrat affiliated group paid a worker in crack cocaine to submit fraudulent voter forms; and Democrat allies attempted to disenfranchise Ohio voters by submitting registration cards for Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Michael Jordan. Republicans will continue to register and inspire new voters, make it easier for everyone to vote at the polls and protect everyone's franchise from being cancelled out by illegal or fraudulent registration."

Russ Feingold, we're still waiting for your thoughts on what's happening in Milwaukee. Perhaps you can make it known the next time you're in Mississippi?
