Doesn’t make a whole lot of difference. If it’s crooked electioneering the MSM will report it as a Republican mess, if for no other reason than some Republican jackass wannabees will do anything the donkeys do with impugnity, not realizing the donkeys do it with impugnity because that’s what’s expected of them!

I ran across this same story on The Brad Blog, and he and all his commenters were assuming and pretty much blaming only Republicans. Brad glossed completely over the Democrat involved.

I emailed the local GOP to see if it was all Dems, haven’t heard back yet.

As for the (lack) of responses, my 360-some-feed reader has only this place and Election Journal mentioning this. As for me, I'm working up a couple different angles on it.

Judging by the indictment, it was a “bipartisan”, strictly-local effort. I haven’t been able to determine whether any county-level or local-level offices are partisan.

The cabal had both parties represented at the polling booth – Stivers and Bishop served as the Democratic and Republican judges (repsectively) at the Manchester precinct during the 2002 and 2004 elections, and the cabal had unindicted co-conspirators serving as the Democratic and Republican judges at the Manchester precinct in the 2006 election.

The unindicted co-conspirators had instructions from Thompson and Jones (oh-so-conveniently missing from the Lex18 story) to misrepresent the nature of the then-new voting machines and substitute Maricle’s candidates. While Stivers is listed as part of that particular count, Bishop is not.

We won’t hear a damn thing in the media if it’s all Democrats. We might not even hear anything if it’s both Republicans and Democrats. But you just wait for the screaming and yelling if it’s mostly Republicans and a few minor Democrats. Whatever happened to the Acorn investigations? Oh, yeah, Obama’s in the White House and he’s stopped all investigations of his friends.
