It was nine absentee ballots. Nine! Can we all take a breath now?

No.

They only found nine. That means there are probably 900-1000 discarded ballots they did not find. And it means that the entire department is suspect.

A bunch of people need to be fired or suspended right now. And prosecuted later.

And I’m guessing a lot of small races (mayors, school boards, etc.) have margins that are less than 100 votes depending on the size of the town/county.

Heck, the dems stole the governorship in Washington state with 129 votes in 2004.
