That was my first introduction to 'helping people vote - who were too busy to vote'...
Later in the 80's I was given a detailed explanation. I was watching returns with a powerful political (behind the scenes)democrat insider and I was complaining about how long it was taking to call the race (some ballot boxes hadn't been handed in and it was getting late). I turned to the activist and said, 'come on, let's drive down there and pick up the box and bring it in ourselves'. We were both known and could have done it... Anyhow, long story short she told me they were holding back the boxes until they knew how many votes were needed to win the race. Putting too many votes in could trigger an investigation - putting too few in could cost the race so they were holding back until the numbers firmed up.
She sounded like she knew what she was talking about... of course I'll never know for sure ... and she's been dead for many years now... I asked how it was done and she said, 'with an ice pick'. They put the pick over the 'chad spot' and hit it with a hammer. Boom, out fall the chads... Since they were voting the people who had not bothered to vote, 'the dead' (who are an accidental byproduct of this type of voter fraud) were also 'voted'.
I often ask people if they have any idea HOW the dead vote... (not how they're on the roles - 'cause there's a rational reason for that - but HOW they VOTE. No one ever 'gets it'... I suspect we aren't the only two people here who know how democrats cheat, it might be one of the ties that binds us all together.
Thanks. interesting.
