I grew up among my middle class friends, never struggling for much, always having what I needed but not what I wanted—which was fine by me.

A Felony of the Fifth Degree:  Election Falsification in Hamilton County?
Wednesday, May 14, 2008

Photo courtesy of here.

The other day, for no reason in particular, I remembered all those allegations of Republicans voting in the Democratic primary to stack the deck, so to speak, for John McCain.  I also remembered those stories about how people wanted Rush Limbaugh to face charges for encouraging people to vote in the opposite party’s primary.  And while it turns out that Limbaugh’s ”Operation Chaos” did not land him in court, what about those Republicans who maliciously changed party?  Did anyone in Hamilton County write something like “For one day only” on their statement of party affiliation?  It turns out those forms are a matter of public record.

cincysuz:  Profile from the Peanut Gallery
Monday, May 12, 2008

Regular readers of The Beacon know that we have a cast of characters who frequent the comments.  Someone named “cincysuz” has a constant theme when she joins discussion here:  accuse The Beacon of being a propaganda machine for the Republican Party.  So we asked ourselves a simple question:  what if we started quoting cincysuz back to herself?  What would it look like if cincysuz argued with herself?  We were given that opportunity when we combined the recent discussion of Marc Dann with an old post about Dennis Kucinich dropping out of the race.

Corporate Democrats get more corporate dough than Republicans
Monday, April 07, 2008
 

They say, “He who pays the piper calls the tune”. The Wall Street Journal reports that Big business is bypassing McCain. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that of the 7 major industries that reliably support Republicans, all have given more to Clinton and Obama, except for 1. And even that 1 is a close call. The defense industry and the health industry have given much more to the Democrats.

County Fights to End Early Jail Releases
Monday, May 12, 2008

County invests in 200 additional electronic monitoring units; prosecutes worst criminals through federal system

Today, Hamilton County Commissioners agreed to acquire 200 additional EMUs (electronic monitoring units) in an ongoing effort to relieve jail overcrowding and end early releases of prisoners. The additional EMUs will allow the Sheriff’s Department to remotely monitor more low level offenders, freeing up jail space for more violent offenders who must remain incarcerated.

Black Box Voting on Chain of Custody
Sunday, March 16, 2008

Editor’s Note: The material below is from Black Box voting.  The issue reminded us of an old video we captured with Stephan Skirtz.  He made waves in the 2004 blogosphere when he captured a photograph of a red pickup truck with a George W. Bush bumper sticker, and a guy handling uncounted ballots in a dark parking lot with no one around.
