Life in "Progress" City - Cincinnati edition

I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago thinking I would get back to it.

Reader Jeremy reminded me..........

The Cincinnati Public Schools system "expressly denies" that it did anything wrong when it allowed a group of high school students to be bused during school hours to the Board of Elections, to be shown sample ballots that included only Democrats, and then to vote.

And it promises never to do it again.

Thomas Brinkman, a Republican candidate for county auditor, and a group called the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending & Taxes filed a legal complaint after three van loads of students from Hughes High School were bused on Oct. 13 to the Hamilton County Board of Elections. The students, all registered voters, were given sample ballots that listed only Democratic candidates -- "clearly with the intention of instructing [them] how to vote," according to the complaint -- before they cast their ballots.

Then the kids were then taken for free ice cream, a move Brinkman and the coalition said was tantamount to "bribery."


Here's some questions I have.

1) Are you sure wasn't an actual ballot from the city of Cincinnati? There probably wasn't a republican on the ballot in the first place.

2) They had enough kids in the high school to need multiple vans for the transportation? The last I heard, the CPS absentee rate was about 40%.

3) How's this different from the unions hauling a bunch of homeless guys to the polls on the promise of a free 40 when they finish?

Indoctrinating the masses?

Now that's "progressive"!
