This email, from a GOP election recount-watcher, has been making the rounds of local conservative activists.\u00a0 I’m keeping the writer’s name off the record for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emphasis is added by me:<\/p>\n
Well, it’s been a good (better) day today here at Hennepin County for the recount. Lots of notable errors in judgment…<\/p>\n
For instance, we found one precinct with ALL Dayton ballots challenged (103 total) that appeared to be a “mass” group of blank ballots run thru without a judge’s signature – all in a row<\/strong>. Shows how easily certain folks of a party’s persuasion can cheat so easily – and have it counted?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Let’s repeat that for those of you who glaze over:\u00a0 103 votes, run through in a group, without a judge’s signature, apparently consecutively<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Whew.\u00a0 Good things the Supreme Court ruled that we don’t need to reconcile vote totals against signatures, much less investigate our whole rotten system!<\/p>\n
It will certainly (still) be an uphill challenge, but a worthwhile one. There are so many debatable and questionable ballots – it should concern all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course there are.<\/p>\n
Which is the whole, sole, entire reason the DFL\/media have started the “Frivolous Challenge” drumbeat.<\/p>\n
The REAL question and problem being anticipated is the ‘gross’ discrepancy statewide via ‘reconciliation’ of the precincts. I’m told there are a LOT of precincts statewide that don’t reconcile their registered voter lists (count) with the number of actual ballots cast… 8,700 doesn’t appear to be a lot of difference for 87 counties with this problem.<\/p>\n
All for today…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But there will be more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
