Who has custody of those books?===the chief clerk in each precinct returns them with the machine tabulations election night to the Supervisor of Elections.

The people who got turned away never reached the sign-in books or did they?=== They did not- polls were locked up, empty.

IS THE TURNING AWAY UNTRUE?=== It is true- documented by election monitors from Justice Dept, State elections, and media. It was serious enough for the Governor to order the polls open 2 extra hours statewide.(Which was a 14th Amendment thing- not because there were problems statewide)

Once you're signed in, you get to vote?=== YUP!

What you can't measure is if Janet finds people who alleged they were turned away BEFORE they could sign in.=== These are the "disenfranchised" people- and this time, it's the real deal. Something like 41% of the precincts in Dade were not open at 7am) They won't be counted for this final count certification ongoing now, and final by 5pm Tuesday, but could appear in court if Janet decides to contest the result in court.

If so, (and she says she won't do this)- a judge COULD order a revote in their race. Maybe statewide, maybe just in the screwed up counties. Judges have a lot of latitude. My guess is, it will depend on how many sofa voters swear under oath they were turned away, and how many votes that were not counted initially are found when they recheck the machines.

If the judge is convinced the problems were of such a magnitude, that the results cannot be accepted, it could happen----thanks to the incompetance of 2 Election Supervisors.

Gee, dogs don't even have to vote any more. We have a new class of voters: the sofa voters.
