Going completely unnoticed here on Daily-Kos is the death last night in a small plane crash (Akron, OH) of one Michael Connell, Karl Rove's IT consultant who many suspect played a key role in the manipulation of the 2004 vote count in Ohio. Ken Blackwell hired Connell's firm to assist in the vote tally on election night in 2004 at his firm's offices in Chattanooga Tenn.
Connell was a reluctant witness in a law suit regarding that night and his attorneys requested protection from Attorney General Mukasey due to what they claimed were threats against his family by Rove. McConnell was deposed in that trial in spite of great resistance on Nov. 3 this year, the day before the election. The trial is still in process.
Is a Friday night dump of a particularly heinous nature? Time will tell but the question should be asked.

Connell also created the White House's alternative e-mail system which has been the subject of missing e-mail controversy. The past may be getting buried here.
