details to come, just heard

[timpad]

What handwriting?

Absentee, possibly? Anyone know what WA absentee ballots require?

[GretchenM]

fyi

Fund wrote an article for WSJ today in the political opinion online section. You have to be a subscriber to read it. It is not in the regular WSJ online section.

[chiller]

Hewitt hadn't heard either.

The Stone-age Press is going to be on this like white on ebony!!

Pray for W and Our Troops

[BCrago66]

How about a link, eithr to an article or to a radio livestream?

[Publius]

The plot thickens.

[cripplecreek]

I have a feeling that he would find more than 400 in Detroit that were filled out by a few people.

Voter fraud by democrats? Oh Lordy, tell me it 'taint so?Bwahahahahahaha!

[Moose4]

Maybe not on the ballot itself, but don't they have to sign their name when they get checked off the voter roll? I know that here in South Carolina, I had to first go to a table where a lady had the master voter list for my precinct. I showed her my driver's license and voter registration card (either one would've been sufficient by itself), she found me on the voter list, and asked me to sign the register. Although I guess it'd be hard for the same person to keep coming in over and over again to do that.

Absentee ballots perhaps? I don't know. This does sound odd.

Wait a minute. A voter can have more than one identity, and each identity can cast more than one ballot in support of a Democratic candidate. A voter can have only one identity casting at most one ballot for a Republican candidate.

Rossi stole the first two counts by failing to fabricate enough votes for his opponent to ensure the election of the Democrat. Rossi should have conceded long ago.

Those Washington State residents who want to sign a petition for a revote, go to "revotewa.com"

I cannot recall writing much on my ballot?

You just got one?

[SubMareener]

Absentee or "Provisional" all require signatures. Probably the best thing is to throw out the "hand" recount. Too many fingers in the pot!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Well, well, well...ping!

What handwriting? On the ballots in my precinct, all we had to do was blacken in circles to indicate the desired candidate.

These are presumably provisional/absentee ballots which are contained within an envelope where you write down your particulars and sign it.

Most of the time the data is written by the election worker when you are voting a provisional ballot, and then you just sign it. Your vote is put in an envelope, and that envelope is put inside the signed envelope thereby preserving anonymity.

This isn't the fill-in-the circle ballot that is being analyzed.

[GretchenM]

What kind of handwriting could there be on a ballot? It's not like people have to sign their names to them.

Absentee voters have to sign the outside of the envelope identifying who they are and where they live. The signature and address are supposed to be matched to the data on file, after which the envelope is discarded. Also, voters have to sign in at the polls. We'll know more soon.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Bump.

[Sensei Ern]

Please tell me this is true and that it will be investigated.

[BigSkyFreeper]

The handwriting isn't on the ballot, it's on the voter roll when you walk into the precinct. You're supposed to sign in before voting.
