No surprise. Ohio's Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted followed the advice of a Kasich-appointed hearing officer and fired the two renegade Democrats on the Montgomery County Elections Board. (They had the unmitigated gall to object to Husted's decree to reduce in-person early voting hours.)
Blogger bud and stand-up guy Dave Girves testified at Monday's meeting and said that if Husted really believed that election boards could only "afford" to be open 45 hours a week, they could offer early voting Wednesday through Sunday 11 to 8.
No soap, of course. Girves summed it up thusly: "Those Republicans walked into that meeting with pre-existing decisions."
Pre-existing decisions. A well-turned phrase, David, I must say!
