Original Post June 13, 2006 9:25 p.m. : This from WATE TV 6. The Blame game has begun, on who is at fault for not sending the certified results and the Charter of Knox County to the State of Tennessee. Here are the suspects.
Irene Lovely, former Knox County Administrator of Elections
Democrat Election Commissioner #1
Democrat Election Commissioner #2
Democrat Election Commissioner #3
Republican Election Commissioner #1
Republican Election Commissioner #2
Mike Padgett, Democrat Knox County Clerk – He blames Irene Lovely (who no longer lives in Knoxville or Tennessee)
Richard Beeler, Knox County Law Director (unlikely that he is to blame)
I will fill in the names of the Election Commissoner’s, when I can research and identify them – they should share the responibility.
So, the suspect pool is 5 Democrats and 3 Republicans.
So, you question why the Republicans are the majority party? The answer is obvious.
