THIS IS REDICULOUS!!!
According to this story, they recounted 16,275 ballots. Of those, 667 votes for Murphy were in error, and 132 votes for West were in error. That’s a total of 799 votes in error out of just 16,275. That’s almost 5% in error! THAT’S AWFUL.
To put this in perspective as to how bad this is, if you were flying from NY to LA, about 3000 miles, with that same level of error in your navigation, you’d miss LA by 147 miles!!! LAX, where are you?
Correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m reading different accounts of this story & one article states that this “recount” was actually just a re-feed/tabulation..they didn’t recount the votes, just re-tabulated. But the lib media keeps spinning by saying that it was a recount & it was not!! & then keep pointing out that Murphy is already on Cap Hill for freshman orientation, West sore loser etc..I’m soooo sick of this crap!
To add some more perspective to that amount of error: When I first started working for them, our county used the the same punch-card ballots (that made Floriduh election famous). When I asked about the process and the error rates, our election manager explained that all punch cards were automatically run twice, and that the change from first run to second was (IIRC) somewhere around 0.01% So, if that dastardly punch card system was actually capable of near-flawless accounting, then there is no vaild excuse for St. Lucie's poor accounting.
