We are told that Jerry Brown won but there are 500,000 ballots left to count.
Hmm maybe he didnt win after all.
Why are there so many ballots left to count? And why does it take so long to count them?
It is my understanding that absentee ballots must be mailed and postmarked by election day. So all should arrive in the mail within a few days after election day. So naturally they will be counted after election day, however, at least here in San Diego County, ballots to be counted using optical scanners are used for absentees. So the absentee ballots are to be fed into a scanning machine to be counted, just as the ballots for voters who vote in person are counted. Which in turn is supposed to give us fairly quick results.
Good point about Jerry Brown. He was declared the winner on election night before huge numbers of votes were actually counted. How can this be; how did the powers that be declare that and other elections on election night with so many ballots left to be counted? And why does it take so long, and how are so many still left to go through? Something doesn’t sound right about all of this.
Hmm. My eyebrows quirked over that one too. According to the SOS "semi-official" (?) results, state attorney general is the only contest where the margin of votes is less than ballots remaining to count.
Of course, this problem is entirely due to the preponderance of mail-in voting, early voting, no-excuse-necessary-permanent-absentee voting, turn-in-your-mail-in-ballot-at-the-poll voting etc, all of which provide for plenty of opportunity for shenanigans btw. Not to mention the disturbing reports that ALL electronic voting systems turned out to be easily hackable, almost as if that were a feature.
Where are all the electronic voting machines that was mandated by US Government? I don’t think these are all mail in ballots. Did California resort to paper ballots ensuring the Democrats would be able to guarantee a Democratic win?
