HERE WE GO AGAIN: 588 Mostly Democrat Votes “Found” in Ohio Special Election

What’s a close election (or even not so close. See the 2016 Presidential Election.) without Democrats trying to steal it afterwards?  In the Ohio Special Election for CD 12, 588 “missing” votes were “found” after election night.  And most of them are for the Democrat Danny O’Conner, of course.

This reminds me of the Washington State stolen gubernatorial election in 2004 in which “missing” votes were “found” in heavily Democrat King County.  (Is there any evil Seattle hasn’t inflicted on the rest of that state?) Or, heck, it reminds me of LBJ’s Box 13 back in the 1948 Democrat Primary (which back then was pretty much the election in one party Democrat Texas):

…Box 13 in Duval County provided Lyndon Johnson the victory margin as the gangly congressman from Johnson City won a hotly contested Senate race by 87 votes.

Six days after election, authorities in Alice (now in Jim Wells County) “discovered” 202 additional ballots in precinct #13 that had not been counted.

Johnson received 200 of those votes. His opponent, Coke Stevenson, got two.

Stevenson’s razor-thin lead melted away and “Landslide Lyndon,” who believed that the 1941 Senate race had been stolen from him, was the winner in yet another deeply disputed election.

Later, it was reported that the ballots seemed to be written in the same ink. And the voters allegedly voted in alphabetical order.

Johnson never acknowledged that his allies stole the election. But former Texas Observer editor Ronnie Dugger told a story of visiting LBJ in the White House. The then-president whipped out a photo of five good ol’ boys from Alice with the infamous Box 13 sitting on the hood of their vehicle.

Dugger asked LBJ if he had stolen the election.

Laughter.

It’s not funny.  At least not anymore.
