Too Bad Tim Barnes Wasn't Punished for Stealing an Election

Timmy Barnes, loser of the Democrat primary for Senate District 22 but their candidate nonetheless, was slapped on the wrist by the Tennessee Ethics Commission to the tune of $50 for failing to file his campaign's financial information on time.

The candidate lamented:

"We thought that it had been filed online, but it did not go through," Barnes said. "By the time we got it filed, it was two days late. They specified it was technical violation, not an ethical violation."

Not like that whole stolen election thing, right?

This is an excellent opportunity to remind voters of Montgomery, Cheatham, and Houston counties that they should write in the name of Rosalind Kurita for state senate. It's true she's not a Republican, but thanks to the Tennessee Democrat Party, she's not one of them either.
