“What happened to the ballots that were rejected? >>> they were hand counted so no fraud.”
Many did not get to vote, the lines were long due to the delays caused by the issues with the ballots. Many people in Republican heavy districts were in line to vote when the polls closed. This was a clear case of voter suppression, as it occurred almost exclusively in Republican heavy areas.
Of course, nothing will happen. The Dems stole another one with great success.
Right — even if the wrong sized ballots were correctly hand counted later, the confusion they caused at the time impacted the voting in the form of long lines and delays.
The poor poll workers were trying to scan and rescan the ballots but they weren’t working. The net effect was the process got backed up and the polls closed before everyone got to vote. The Republicans tried to get an extension of the closing time but a judge refused. And the ballot problems were overwhelmingly in Republican precincts, naturally.
The silver lining may be that the irregularities are so obvious and so easy to understand that we may finally have a “teachable moment” here.
