Many felt sadness upon hearing of Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones’ recent death. Author Kristal Brent Zook, who was in Ohio when the news broke, writes about the media coverage of Tubbs Jones’ passing in the latest WMC Commentary. Zook comments that the sentiment expressed in the headlines of local papers about President Bush mourning the Congresswoman’s passing didn’t ” ring true to these ears.” The author recalls Tubbs Jones forcing a House floor debate of Bush’s 2004 victory, a struggle for which she was called “childish.” Zook then delves into Tubbs Jones’ passionate cause: the facts about voting irregularities in a state where Bush won only 119,000 more votes than Kerry did, which include the Washington Post’s report that “in Youngstown, Ohio,… 25 electronic machines were found to have transferred ‘an unknown number of Kerry votes to Bush.’” But, Zook concludes, a tiny, almost overlooked local news item typifies Tubbs Jones’ fight and victory for the voters of Ohio: The Ohio State Secretary just announced that poll workers are no longer allowed to take voting machines home for “sleepovers,” which had been common practice in 24 Ohio counties, since this poses an obvious risk of electoral fraud.
