There Shall Be A Recount

By Kleinheider Posted on August 19, 2008 at 6:07 am

Senator Rosalind Kurita’s primary challenger has confirmed officially that he has requested not only a recount by has asked for the TBI to investigate irregularities:

Barnes is challenging the results and calling for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to investigate the matter. The election results were verified Monday in Montgomery County.

Kurita should head back to the state Senate, but her opponent is not giving up. He contends that she broke the law and poll workers misinformed voters.

“It was perceived by many people as the race that would determine whether the Democrats or Republicans control the state Senate,” Barnes said.

“But for those irregularities, we could have had a different outcome in this race,” he said.

Those irregularities? Barnes, who is also a Democrat, has affidavits from voters claiming they were misinformed by poll workers.

    In every polling station there are sample ballots that show what candidates are on the Republican ballot and what candidates are on the Democrat ballot, sample ballots were also published in the local papers that a few voters were too lazy to read the paper or look at the ballot sheets on the wall is no reason to contest an election. Tim Barnes feels that just because there are a few people that are angry with Senator Kurita for voting against Wilder that he will be handed an electtion that he did not win.
