This situation points out an obvious area in need of reform. When there is any sort of recount: WHY ARE THE SAME ELECTION OFFICIALS, WHO IN EFFECT STAND ACCUSED OF INCOMPETENCE OR MALFEASANCE, ALLOWED TO HANDLE THE RECOUNTING?
If a judge was sued or charged with a crime, would he be allowed to preside over his own case? Would the IRS find it acceptable for you to audit yourself? Recounts should be conducted by either the Secretary of State’s office, or personnel from another district, approved by the complainant.
Fire the bitch.
