Well, Scott Brown has done the unthinkable and won Massachusetts. It’s a massive blow to the Obama administration.
They must be asking themselves if they can retain any senate seats, if they lose Massachusetts. Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come.
In the CNN report they report that the Dems have found irregularities.
In a sign of the high stakes involved, the Coakley campaign held an afternoon news conference Tuesday to complain that voters in three places received ballots already marked for Brown.
McNiff confirmed that the secretary of state’s offices received two reports of voters saying they received pre-marked ballots. The suspect ballots were invalidated and the voters received new ballots, McNiff said.
Kevin Conroy, the Coakley campaign manager, said the “disturbing incidents” raised questions about the integrity of the election. In response, the Brown campaign issued a statement criticizing Coakley’s team.
“Reports that the Coakley campaign is making reckless accusations regarding the integrity of today’s election is a reminder that they are a desperate campaign,” Daniel B. Winslow, the counsel for the Brown campaign, said in the statement.
Just two problems.
1. The dem’s press release was dated the day before the election! To be fair, they might simply have incompetent staff – it would be a very bad look indeed for them to be engineering fraud complaints to make their opponent look bad.
2. While making sure that their readers know that the Republicans Are Evil(TM) they omitted…
- Mentioning the liberal talk show host who said he’d vote 20 times, then confirmed it later as “I’m not advocating voter fraud, I’m just telling you what I would do“
- The fake pro-life calls trying to smear Brown.
- The fact that Brown’s already laid two criminal charges against the democrats & affiliated groups
- Or the woman caught on tape handing out absentee ballots, pointing out Martha Coakley’s name
I guess we could be thankful they didn’t go so far as Keith Olbermann did saying:
In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees.
