Parnell's toxic influence persists. Guidi was appointed by him.

To accept Ruedrich as an elections "expert," when he was forced by Sarah Palin to resign in disgrace from the Oil and Gas Commission because of his extreme and illegal partisan political activities while sitting in a state office holding a highly paid position, betrays the partisan nature of Guidi's own disgraceful behavior. 

His shameful, baseless decision, reversing the results of a painstaking recount,  with zero precedent for it, cost the state a bundle. There would have been the costs of printing new versions of ballots, of contesting his decision at the Supreme Court and possible mailing costs of ballots. 

Though the confusion in a couple of small, bush communities was unfortunate, I think we can rest assured that we will never see a repetition of this situation. It was a learning experience.

I would hope that Guidi might suffer impeachment for his illegal conduct.
