86. Don't Forget GOP vote rigging consultant Mike Connell

Another "timely" death (murder?) was the mysterious plane crash
that killed Rove's IT guru Michael Connell. Shortly after Connell
was deposed in a lawsuit against Rove et al that alleged
vote flipping in the 2004 Ohio election, Connel died in a small plane crash.
