Consider yourselves pinged...
I forgot you - sorry :-(.
If you were one of those who caught six Rossi votes being placed in a Gregoire stack, you wouldn't. And that sort of thing happened, at more than one table.
The media has been assigned a job here, folks.
Well, they're embeds...
Go figure. Also note the comments of Rossi's nanny. That has got to crimp Marummy and the troops. She should have very respectfully kept her mouth shut because it looks like the backdoor message of Dino Rossi...
That said, you may want to note the involvement of the Teamsters... Geese, mandatory union contribution - UGH!
Dr. Deming's red bead experiment shows that 100% quality checks put in more error than systematic quality controls.
In other words, the manual count is less accurate than the first count and each succeeding handling of the ballots will result in a larger error. This is what the Rats want to happen. They don't care what the people want.
Blog update for this morning at http://josef-a-k.blogspot.com is up...
Go on down to "Marummy Watch" if you want the Rossi camp statement...
Contrary to what this columnist may believe, it's not possible for these Teamster goons to be more "reliable" than their electronic counterparts. If anything, both methods of tabulating votes are equally suspect in their reliability/accuracy.
Secondly, I don't think that humans are necessarily more trustworthy than machines.
In fact, in some cases, I think that they're less able to get things done right. There are undoubtedly Rhesus monkeys that exhibit more intelligence than certain Democratic electors.
PEOPLE ARE STUPID!
That aging, Pali-loving hippie profiled in this piece is just one illustration of the truth of the above statement.
Finally, what makes this mediocre hack believe that the people supervising the re-vote currently taking place in King County didn't put on a show, specifically, for him and his cohorts in the left wing press?
Anyone knows hand counts are never as accurate as machine counts. In my line of work, this is a fact.
Line of work being?
Maybe you are - you spelled my name with a ph.
That said, you failed to note that the Palestinian radical nutcase was balanced by the Rossi family nanny...
I have no idea what your name is.
Considering Hand vs Machine must not be judged based on the fact that perhaps MOST of the hand counters, even in King County, are honest Americans - both Dem and Pub. The issue as I see it is that in a hand count, the counters that are working against the system can do ALOT more damage to the process than a machine. The [rotton] human can read the news, use the phone, call the hacks, etc... and know the quantity of votes required and then, based on that persons job, do all he or she can to cheat.
Well, you were almost right.
Republican appointee: McClellan, 21, a recent University of Washington grad who applied to be the Rossi family nanny and got this job because her brother-in-law works for the campaign.
If you were one of those who caught six Rossi votes being placed in a Gregoire stack, you wouldn't. And that sort of thing happened, at more than one table.
I'm reminded of a story my wife's grandmother told....
Grandma worked for the county in a small Nevada town. The elections ballots were the fill-in-the-dot type (apparently similar to Washington state's ballots) and optically scanned. Grandma tells the story of one election where an election worker concealed a pencil lead under his fingernail and scratched a line through his candidate's bubble on ballots that went for the opposing candidate. The scanner would then reject the ballot as a double vote.
Since you can't read whom you're replying to - it's JOSE-F AS IN JOSEF!
Guess so. Woops. Just sounded about right...
They do "accept" it . . . when their candidate is leading. They just don't accept it when they get whupped.
For example . . . just imagine how loud they would've screamed had Thune challenged the Indian votes when he ran against Johnson. When a Pubbie does it, it's either racism or whining. When a Democrap does it, it's "making sure every vote counts" . . . again, so long as the decision is made in their favor.
They don't want fair elections . . . they know they would just join the T-Rex that much sooner.
