Massachusetts 4th Congressional District: Thousands of ballots found in Franklin, Jesse Mermell’s campaign solicits recount signatures The race is still too close to call
Boston Herald ^ | 9/3/2020 | Rick Sobey

A recount could be looming in the 4th Congressional District race between two Democrats as more uncounted ballots surfaced on Thursday.

Officials in Newton, Wellesley and Franklin on Thursday restarted counting primary ballots after Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin filed a court order to authorize local poll workers to continue counting ballots that were received on time and had not been tallied by the end of Tuesday night.

In Franklin, poll workers Thursday evening were counting about 3,000 uncounted ballots — much more than the previously estimated 600 uncounted ballots, according to a spokeswoman for the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Office.

The newly discovered 3,000 uncounted ballots were mail-in votes that appeared to have never made it to polling locations on Election Day.

...

“We also believe based on conversations we’ve had with leaders in several communities that there may be even more uncounted ballots in communities across the district, and that’s deeply concerning,” Mermell said in front of Newton City Hall, ahead of ballot counting on Thursday.

...

“This is an important example for the rest of the country, at a time when President Trump is working hard to discredit mail-in voting and make it harder for people to vote,” Auchincloss added.

Settle down, Eeyores. The election is secured and the Ds ain't going to cheat. Already, dozens of people have been arrested for vote fraud.

Sheesh. You people would have tucked tail when the British descended on Bunker Hill.

Sounds like how a lot of elections are "decided" here in The People's Republik of Connecticut.

"Well, looky here: A bag of votes has suddenly been 'found'!!"

And why is it, that the bags of votes suddenly found, always benefit the Democrat candidate????

Even in the ultimately losing cause in 2000 in Florida, Al Gore picked up about 1,500 votes as the recounts kept going, taking into account the hanging chads, then dimpled chads, then using a magnifying glass to see if a voter made a tiny scratch on the chad, which to Democrats signaled the “intent” of the voter.

President Trump doesn’t have to work very hard to discredit mail-in ballots when stuff like this happens.

Ballots keep showing up???

It is insane to try this on a national scale right now.

I believe Joe “aneurism” Biden already has the votes to win.

That’s why evil Hillary and Bill are talking it up about the President won’t leave.

This is their strategy.

They couldn’t impeach him so they went with releasing the virus and killing millions and rioting and looting.

Now reports Soros has poured billions into unsubstantiated unverifiable mail in votes. I believe those ballots are printed and ready to mail.

I’m afraid we are going to lose. The democrats stole the house in 2018. Why wouldn’t anyone vote for them? They have no policies except stealing and abortion. Now germ coercion warfare.

It’s sad. There are very evil forces at work. They don’t care about you, fairness or dignity. If they can pull off corona hoax they will cheat by mail.

It’s coming.

Was it only 5 Republican Congressional seats that were lost the next days? I thought 9 or 10.

The newly discovered 3,000 uncounted ballots were mail-in votes that appeared to have never made it to polling locations on Election Day. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And 90% of these ballots voted all Democrat up and down the ticket?

Buahahahahahahahaha!

What an effing fiasco!

If this continues there will be a civil war. No wonder AG Barr is publicly saying that the Dems are playing with fire.

Yep. There is no way Trump will be allowed to win this election

Says who?
You and your BLM/ANTIFA pals?
You'd better read up on what happened to the Antifa terrorist pal Michael Reinoehl courtesy of the federal marshals.

Except that is not how it works.

Once the EC registers its electors, the election is over.

Didn’t think Franklin was that big of a population! 3000 votes were found? That is about 10% of the population of the town. Something is rotten in Massachusetts...
