Krogmeier Piles On
There’s a white flag on the play. Deputy Secretary of State Charlie Krogmeier has been called for “piling on.” There will be a 15 yard penalty.
No doubt taking courage from my own effort to point out the errors in an editorial in the Clinton Herald, Krogmeier makes the same points I made last week. The newspaper had mistakenly blamed the Secretary of State for requiring Clinton county’s change of voting machines. Since I had already tackled the topic, Krogmeier could have merely referred the Herald to this blog. There is no penalty for that.
Actually there should be two penalties on Krogmeier. The additional penalty is for the mistake he made in his letter, wherein he claimed the new voting machines are “more accurately tested” than the old ones. He should have been present to see the so-called test that Iowa applied to some new gadgetry on January 30. It took me three days to tell the tale of sausage making that is Iowa’s certification of voting machines.
Another 15 yards.
