Will there be recounts and/or counting of absentee ballots in PA and WI? (Vanity)

[randita]

Some states have laws which trigger automatic recounts if the margin of victory is below a certain percentage (.25. e.g.). Other states only have recounts if the loser petitions and a court approves. This is my understanding.

The turnout in rural PA was huge, and those are usually the last PA votes to be counted.

Let's put an urban legend to bed.

Absentees are ALWAYS counted. Whether or not they matter to outcome is irrelevant. There are always down ballot races like maybe county commissioner that may not have been decided for which they may matter a great deal so they are counted.

The military is thus not excluded.

We did our best, but if we don't weed out big city voter fraud, things probably won't change.

Sorry JimRed! Didn't mean to upset you. LOL!

Perhaps we can combine Philly and Camden into a new "State"...or better yet, Country and get them out of ours!

Don't be surprised if they "find" enough votes to turn this state back to Kerry. That process is going on right now with the provisional ballots.

[bk1000]

Pardon my ignorance, but now that Kerry has conceeded, what difference would it make if every thus-far uncounted vote turned out to be for Kerry? It's over now, no matter what, right?

[NonValueAdded]

Force the issue through the Kerry / Edwards "count every vote" theme. And while you are at it, keep score of the uncounted absentee ballot tally. Then there will be a number to use in '08 for how many military absentee voters were disenfranchised.

Do you not want to see our election process one of integrity?

I am from western Wisconsin. Yesterday I worked at the polls as a HAVA worker. I was there to challenge the electors that were questionable. I was placed at the college voting place - Commons. During the 6 hours that I worked I noticed that the individuals that were registering the students were not requiring the information required by law. When I questioned the use of the college directory as a form of identification, the Democrat lawyer was adamant that it would be used. After my shift I contacted the voter fraud line and was told that the directory was not to be used and only a certified listing of the students was acceptable. I talked with the Clerk of Court and she said that the Wisconsin election board said that the directory was acceptable. This was only one of the fraudulent behaviors that Democrats were involved in.

Along with the misuse of the student directories, the Democrat lawyer was participating in the election as an official rather than an observer. I observed times in which he directed individuals and touched their registration form. What statute allows for a Democrat lawyer to participate in electors vote?

In addition there was a student representing one of the liberal groups placed at the door of entry. Each student was asked their name before they entered the room by the liberal group representative. The student then crossed off the name in the book in hopes of seeing which student they would need to call to get to the election. Privacy issues to be considered.

Students representing MoveOn.org were at tables just outside the room were the students were voting. Questions of distance from polling are to be considered.

Also a flyer was found on tables in the voting area that came from Democrat Party in which they described how Republicans that were there as HAVA workers were there to take away the electors vote. Electioneering?

Provisional votes were not allowed. The Democrat lawyer stated that a provisional ballot could only be used for those who had mailed in their registration. The fact that students were not given the choice to do a provisional ballot would be concerning, however they just allowed the student to go through and vote - just forget looking for a provisional avenue for the student.

The Democrat Lawyers were definitely running two of the student polling wards. Where in the Wisconsin law will we find it acceptable for the lawyer to do so?

I hope that Wisconsin will not allow the Democrats to continue to perpetrate fraud on the citizens. Regardless of a win or a loss, it is my prayer that these issues will not be over looked.

P.S. The fraud that took place right here in rural Wisconsin will be brought to the forefront. Democrats have cheated for years, no longer if I have anything to say about it. The fight has just begun.

Great work! We need to start today signing up volunteers in areas such as Philly to combat fraud. It is possible to examine the voter roll books to see how many phantom voters, dead people, felons, et al actually voted. Scrubbing these off the voter roll is primary. However, our first line of defense is PEOPLE. A few Freepers could even change registration to Dim in order to infiltrate and volunteer for the 2006 election. In Texas we have dims infiltrate Republican volunteer ranks and sign up as Republican Election Judges so that they can perpetuate the fraud.

"I still remember the "600 found" votes in New Mexico that "gave" your state to Gore in 2000."

---

It was 500, and it wasn't that they "found votes," they merely corrected a transcription error, since a precinct in Dona Ana County that had given Gore (IIRC) 800 votes had been mistakenly written down as giving him 300 votes (the 8 was confused for a 3). So the 500 votes added to Gore wasn't because of fraud. Of course, I can't speak about all those ballot boxes that they kept finding throughout New Mexico . . . .

We'll never know who *really* won New Mexico in 2000, but if I had to wager, I'd say it was Bush.
