Absentee Ballots Found After Election

Late Ballots Do Not Count

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Officials say 44 Johnson County absentee ballots were found in a locked box at Iowa Democratic Party headquarters in Des Moines a week after the Nov. 5 general election.

The sealed ballots were returned by courier to Johnson County Auditor Tom Slockett, but under state law couldn't be included in the county's official canvass of the votes held Nov. 14.

Jean Hessburg, executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party, said the party had picked up the ballots to be delivered on Election Day.

She said it's a regrettable and truly unacceptable situation.

So, is this the "lock box" Algore kept talking about during the 2000 election?

"She said it's a regrettable and truly unacceptable situation. "

That's exactly how I feel about Dems.

When do you think they'll find the ones in South Dakota?

How do the Dems plan to steal the election in Louisiana tomorrow?

[StormEye]

Can someone clarify this for me? These are ballots that have already been voted
but have not been submitted to the election officials in that county for tabulation?

Why are they at the Democratic Pary Headquarters and
not at the county election department?

How did the Democratic Party come to have these ballots?

Is this the "lock box" the democraps have been harping about?

[MHGinTN]

Tom Harkin's lock box! No wonder he felt secure to rant at the Wellstone pep rally, he knew how the Iowa elections would turn out before the voting was started! That rascal ...

LOL!!!

They were mixed in with the counted votes just like they were supposed to be. Sitting Bull's ghost would haunt the dems if his ballot was not counted.

[Rightone]

Perhaps, they were dem votes?....

[alley cat]

I just emailed this to one of the Iowa State Senate candidates, to make sure he was aware of it...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...44 Johnson County absentee ballots were found in a locked box ..."

Another risky scheme with no controlling legal authority.

Any way they have to. Remember, for RATS and other commies, the end justifies the means.

Exactly, how do these people get off with a simple apology. An investigation needs to be launched. That is just one county, what if that bologna happens in every county. Ridiculous! I am OUTRAGED!

Rainy Day votes?

Apparently the Dem candidates didn't need the extra 44 votes. And ya can't save 'em for the next election...

[anniegetyourgun]

It certainly wouldn't do any good to fire the incompetents, the DEM party can only produce more of them.

I would guess they are from a nursing home. They try the same thing on my mother every election. They first come around and make sure you have filed for a absentee ballot, they have the forms already for you. Then they come around when the ballots are delivered to "help you vote". They will also make sure they are delivered in time.

Most of the residents don't know who to vote for, so a little talk about social security, or medicare usually gets them on track.
