Weaver Attempts to Steal His Old Seat
Friday, I missed this report on sore loser and fake moderate Mike Weaver attempting to steal his old seat back from State Representative Tim Moore:
Weaver To Challenge All Votes In One Precinct, Hope It Turns Election
5:55 PM Fri, Nov 14, 2008 | Mark HebertFormer state representative Mike Weaver is preparing to ask the state House of Representatives to throw out all of the votes in one Hardin County precinct, claiming they may have been mishandled.
Weaver lost his 26th district House race to incumbent republican Rep. Tim Moore by 108 votes. But Weaver's campaign spokesman, Jonathan Hurst says there may have been irregularities in the Pine Valley precinct of Hardin County. Hurst says an election worker has admitted that one voting machine malfunctioned. When that happened, Hurst claims, workers took the votes out of the back of the machine, handed them to a precinct election officer and told him to insert the ballots into another machine when he got a chance. Hurst claims that's illegal. Moore won the precinct by a couple hundred votes, so if the House invalidates all the votes in that one precinct, it would turn the election in Weaver's favor. Hurst says Democrats have asked Louisville attorney Sheryl Snyder to help with their case.
