Ok, since it appears you have no clue what you are talking about, let me ask you something in all seriousness:
At the close of the polls (7 weeks ago), part of the election day process is to take the machines apart one by one, and members of BOTH parties verify that there are no ballots at all stuffed anywhere in or around the machines - including in the side pockets, underneath them inside them. Every nook and cranny is checked and verified.
7 weeks ago, those ballots were not there. Period.
Deal with it.
Uh, sorry, you said you were going to ask me something "in all seriousness". I don't see the question.
The 22 new ballots are more suspicious and are deserving of greater scrutiny than the 500+ absentees. By all accounts those absentees may well be valid and may have been disqualified purely in error. How can you say they shouldn't be counted? Ask yourself honestly, if absentee ballots in a heavily-Republican county were disallowed because of an error by the tabulators, would you be insisting as strongly they shouldn't be counted?
I wasn't speaking about the absentee ballots. I was directly referring to the new 22 ballots, i.e. the 7th ballot find in as many weeks. Those 22 are the ones I am speaking of that were not there during election day. I bet the "paper trail" backs me up on that, too.
Ask yourself honestly, if absentee ballots in a heavily-Republican county were disallowed because of an error by the tabulators, would Democrats not strongly be insisting they shouldn't be counted?
