No hint of partisanship there. :) But partisanism (is that even a word?) is pretty much expected from the executive or legislative branches. We only really only try pretend that the judiciary is free of such base motives. Anyway, IIRC, it usually is the governor who does that job, but Jeb stepped down. I mean, yeah, the head of the executive _is_ the guy's brother. What can you really do? It is the job of the executive to run the election and the administration is made up of the governor's people, so, yeah, the governor's appointees are running the election. Wanna hear a real scandal? People appointed by George W. _himself,_ not his brother, ran the election in Texas. ;) -- Crist J.
