Among the many things that need to be changed, to eliminate the (phoney) "lost ballots, found ballots" sham, there ahould be some hefty fines ready to descend on anyone who "loses" or "misplaces" ballots. At the precinct level (where the votes are cast) there should be a $500 or $1000 fine for any precinct inspector whose voting machine comes back to the county with ballots still in it. (Personally I don't believe that actually happened. I think the King Co. Elections Dept. wants you to THINK it did. (They have to have some excuse for the never-ending parade of "found ballots.)
Then all County Elections Dept. employees should be held PERSONALLY responsible (with $10,000 fines) for any "misplaced" ballots. All stacks, piles, bins, etc. of ballots should have to be counted and SIGNED FOR each and every time they are turned over to someone else. With some really healthy fines hanging over their heads, perhaps they will think twice before "misplacing" enough for "insurance policies in-case-of-necessity" should their Dem candidates be losing and needing more Dem ballots.
Finally for the "Dean Logans" (head election honchos) of this world, there should be a $one-million dollar fine if ANY ballots are lost or misplaced. I think a little accountability and personal responsibility plus BIG fines and jail time would go a long way toward no future "lost" or "found" ballots.
I agree with you to a point but I would like to add that every state needs laws in place that requre ID to verify the voter, we need to stop provisional ballots and I would even like to see absentee ballots require some sort of ID number, Drivers license ect., and to also limit them to people who are really absent during the election. Also, ballots found after the first count should be outlawed, in other words a clearly worded law the prohibits counting of Ballots found after the initial election count should be tossed regardless of the whining and moaning coming from Democrats. These things would go a long way toward stopping the count and recount until you win syndrome. A real court would never have allowed the third count, after all Dinno won two counts how many do you need to win in order to prove you won?
I like how you think!!!
