None of this surprises me. The CONS proved years ago that the only way they know they can win is if they cheat. Exhibit A: bush/cheney and the stolen elections. REEKED of conflict-of-interest. The Florida state party chair for the GOP in the 2000 election season just happened to be the Florida Secretary of State. Then, again in 2004, same thing, only this time it was republi-CON Kenneth Blackwell with those same two key election-related jobs in Ohio.

PAPER BALLOTS COUNTED BY HUMAN BEINGS. CrispyQ Aug 2018 #10

The ballots in question are indeed paper ballots. LiberalArkie Aug 2018 #14

Most paper ballots are fed through an electronic tabulator, CrispyQ Aug 2018 #34

That's not necessarily any more accurate. MGKrebs Aug 2018 #42

Both parties, or all parties, have reps there to witness the counting. brush Aug 2018 #58

If they bother with recounts & audits. CrispyQ Aug 2018 #59

Yeah, and get lost in trash cans or dumpsters in another county. Blue_true Aug 2018 #89

You're naive if you think the level of tampering is the same when humans do the counting. CrispyQ Aug 2018 #98

There's nothing to be looked into. Provisional ballots aren't counted until next week. bearsfootball516 Aug 2018 #70

Your OP title is completely misleading... brooklynite Aug 2018 #16

I have no doubt these gopers are going to tamper with the provisional ballots before the count. liberalnarb Aug 2018 #21

You literally have zero proof of that. bearsfootball516 Aug 2018 #68

People who filled out provisional ballots have to now prove they're eligible eleny Aug 2018 #29

My point is that they don't start counting them for a week... brooklynite Aug 2018 #36

I understood that. But how can they start counting so fast? eleny Aug 2018 #80

Maybe they don't all need to be verified for some reason? mr_lebowski Aug 2018 #87

Yep, Some DU'rs swore up and down that the only way to steal an election via provisional ballots uponit7771 Aug 2018 #76

Probably for the same reason Gore & his peeps did not fight back JunkYardDogg Aug 2018 #47

What you're saying is that not one Democratic candidate in any year had the courage to allege this.. brooklynite Aug 2018 #52
