As if things weren’t bad enough for J. D. Hayworth, in addition to losing his race, he had to watch as his 2004 opponent, Elizabeth Rogers, won a term as a Justice of the Peace in Maricopa County.
¡Pobrecito!
I recieved not one but two emails yesterday requesting volunteers to help in a hand recount of the CD 5 race. Republicans are enthusiastic about a hand recount? Weren’t they calling us whiners for asking for the same thing back in 2000?
I would never call them hypocrites, of course.

The e-mail gives the impression its for a re-count in CD-5, but I think it was actually for the audits that are now authorized by the new Downing/Johnson law. Probably easier to ask for volunteers for a “recount” in a close race that volunteers for an audit that will not effect the outcome.

That seems a bit more sensible. Hopefully no one will “riot” like they did in 2000.
