Ok, then, how does one prevent the common Dem tactic of delaying the precinct vote count until all the other precincts have reported in ... only to find an additional set of ballots that more than make up the difference?
Perhaps a requirement that ballots be escorted by law enforcement?
Happened in Wa. After the third counting for governor, King county found 125 extra votes that got Gregoire the governorship. The first two counts favored the Republican Rossi.
You got me there. The problem is that every solution has a counter, and every counter a counter as well. We’re talking about people, and people will always try to outmaneuver one another. There are no simple solutions that will ever make that go away. The one I can say for certain is that rigid rules are more easily exploited than flexible rules that bow to common sense.
