The Daily Traficant

Politics is sometimes misguided with the train being steered by those in the highest places of power. Jim Traficant was a long time at the wheel of Ohio's 17th Congressional District. He was zany, wacky, and yet remained a crowd pleaser even after entering the federal pen. This blog will study both Youngstown and national politics while leaving the craziness intact. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker!

Outrage

“THREE-MILLION, SIX-HUNDRED THOUSAND THREE-HUNDRED AND EIGHT ballots were cast in the last election AND NEVER COUNTED: “spoiled” ballots, “provisional” ballots and “deficient” absentee ballots. And—ready for this—88% of the ballots not counted were cast by voters of color.” Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
