Jody Richards' disenfranchisement scheme
Clinging bitterly to his job as Speaker of the House, Jody Richards thinks he is going to avoid accountability for his failures in office by silencing the voices of a precinct full of voters in this latest election.
At issue is a vote scanner that failed mid-day on November 4 at the Pine Valley precinct in Elizabethtown. Precinct workers, in order to continue allowing voters to vote, removed the paper ballots from what was a non-functioning machine. A bipartisan team of precinct workers handled the transition to a new machine. The Democratic County Clerk Kenneth L. Tabb said the proper procedure was followed.
The votes in the whole district have been counted twice. Rep. Tim Moore, a Republican, won both times. Former Rep. Mike Weaver, however, could find himself magically back in Frankfort to try to save Jody Richards only if all the votes in that one precinct are thrown out.
So guess what they are trying to do?
The Secretary of State's office will certify the election Friday afternoon and then Speaker Jody Richards is expected to challenge the results.
Guess where House election challenges are heard?
In the House. With Speaker Jody Richards presiding.

Mike Weaver should trudge off to the old soldiers' home and slowly fade away. The voters didn't want him in Congress and now a majority in that district don't want to send him back to the Kentucky House. He was a butt-kisser to former Adjutant General Michael Davidson during his last active duty tour for the Army. With his record of stabbing folks in the back, he should be selling Ginzu knives.
Nothing would surprise me that has Mike Weaver involved.
Do these demonrats ever stop trying to steal elections?
Weaver will lose again. Tim Moore won by 108 votes, twice.
pow_freedom_fighter, those of us here in the 26th District have been putting up with old Mikie for the last 10+ years and are used to his BS. Old Mikie is about old Mikie and nothing else.
You can bet that those poll workers and County Clerk Kenny Tabb (D) are really appreciative of being called frauds and liars by one the caliber of Weaver.
If this election is reversed by the spineless Richards, Weaver and the rest of the socialist Dems you can bet that there will be a legal challenge from within the 26th District. The people of this district are tired of Weaver's BS and it is going to end with this.
My question to the likes of Richards and Weaver is this; with the Dems having been in control of this state for 90+% of my lifetime (58 years) why is it that Kentucky ranks almost exclusively at the bottom of everything good and near the top of everything bad? The people have voted to try and better themselves here in the 26th District and now the power-broker Dems are attempting to deprive us of that. Communist bastards!
If the House seats Weaver we will tie this up in court for months and the good people of the 26th will go without representation.
