You've undoubtedly heard Republicans great and small screaming about a "rigged" State Elections Board ruling in the press recently. If you'd like yet another example of Republicans saying one thing and doing another, take this nugget:
A Republican member of the State Elections Board resigned from his post last week. As Assembly Speaker, John Gard (the one attempting to replace Mark Green in Congress) got to pick the new person to fill the post. Want to take a gander as to who that was? Why, none other than a contributor to Mark Green's gubernatorial campaign, Greg Paradise! Not only has Paradise contributed $500 out of his own pocket to Green (the first gubernatorial donation in his life!), paradise is buddies with Congressman Green's elections attorney, having served with Don Millis on the Elections Board at the same time! The Doyle campaign issued a statement on the action: "Congressman Green told John Gard whom to pick, and Gard did what he was told. Any suggestion that this was anything but an effort to stack the Board with someone Green knows will vote his way is absurd." Talk about stacking the Board with a sure thing...
