Hamilton County's Juvenile Courts have long ignored the evidence that outcomes are much better across the board when juvenile offenders are offered programs rather than incarceration. Tracie Hunter will change that attitude.<br /><br />That said, these back room "we won't run anybody" deals do more harm than good for the Democrats. If we can't get the voters on our side, we need to change our tactics and infrastructure.<br /><br />And more than anything, voters like to vote! When our options are taken away, we respond by staying home. We Democrats need to make it clear that the GOP doesn't want your vote to count, but we're working to fix that.Luke Brockmeierhttp://www.lukeforohio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-23229341643419314242012-01-31T13:31:56.833-05:002012-01-31T13:31:56.833-05:00The signature arguments of both sides have merit b...The signature arguments of both sides have merit but I am aware of no statistics supporting an argument provisional ballots have elevated levels of vote fraud. This entire episode should be instructive of political fetishism and slack evidence. The presentation of provisional ballots as a boogeyman is done to conjure menace, danger and fear.

Republicans are afraid of allowing all citizens to vote. They are for "me,me" and wining (whining?) and dining. They are not for "us, us." Only "me,me."

The votes would have been counted and it would have been over more than a year ago. Bear in mind, every one of these voters is a legitimately registered voter. What is at issue here is the hairsplitting technicalities Republicans (read Ken Blackwell) introduced into the law to create excuses not to count votes. What happened here is they couldn't keep their technicalities straight.Tyler Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561069169028064977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37877540.post-27627217594494939892012-01-31T11:40:11.063-05:002012-01-31T11:40:11.063-05:00Regardless of how votes are counted, Tracie Hunter...Regardless of how votes are counted, Tracie Hunter is not qualified by temperament or experience as a trial lawyer to hold the office of Juvenile Court judge.
