Good God... WTH is with those people up there? Let me guess... only one is doing any counting and the other officials are lined up out the door waiting their turn.
I know this is wild, out-of-the-box thinking, but... might giving a stack each to 10 or 15 counters .. y'know.. speed the process along?
Lots of dems lining up to do the counting? I w a my them watched. Have you forgotten the hanging chads so soon?
