Yesterday, I wrote about how the Ohio GOP had been begging their "sheeple" to help in the election for the Ohio Auditor. (Remember that current Ohio Auditor, Mary Taylor, is now John "Lehman Brothers" Kasich's Republican running mate for Gov.-Lt. Gov.) With Seth Morgan, Ohio Republican from Huber Heights and Tea Party fan, the only announced candidate for the statewide office of Auditor, the Ohio GOP was becoming desperate. Then we have this development----
Dispatch:
Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost said yesterday he is "seriously considering" seeking the Republican nomination for state auditor instead of attorney general.
Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine acknowledged that he asked Yost to switch races in the May 4 primary, a move that apparently would give former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine an uncontested shot at the Republican nomination to run against Attorney General Richard Cordray, a Democrat, in November....
Many people know a lot about David Yost. Yost was part of the Republican Party plan to stop the recount for the presidential election in 2004 in Delaware County, Ohio.
Washington Post (December 1, 2004):
Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential campaign asked an Ohio judge yesterday to allow it to join a legal fight there over whether election officials in one county may sit out the state's impending recount.
A pair of third-party presidential candidates, who said that reports of problems at the polls on Election Day are not being addressed, are forcing the Buckeye State to recount its entire presidential vote. But David A. Yost, a lawyer for Delaware County, just outside Columbus, won a temporary restraining order last week blocking any recount there. He told the Columbus Dispatch that a second count would be a poor use of county resources. President Bush won the mostly Republican area handily, unofficial results show....
Yost was part of the Republican Party "counting" of the votes for the 2004 presidential election in Ohio. We have not forgotten his role in blocking the recount and the entire statewide voting fiasco involving Yost, Blackwell, Damschroder, Taft, Diebold, Bernadette and Tom Noe, and the rest of them.
The Democrats in Ohio are ready. No retreat. No surrender.
