Is a change of six
ballots in seven precincts when 7K plus ballots were counted necessarily
dropped ballots when you factor in operator/poll worker error in handling
jammed ballots? -----Original Message----- Eight Accu-Votes were used in Ward
9. One Advance Poll and seven election day polls. The 8 Accu-Votes in Ward
9 counted 7,652 ballots with 159 Blank Voted on election day. Ballot
boxes sealed. The same 8 Accu-Votes counted 7,658
ballots with 119 Blank Voted for the Recount. The first place candidate received 22
additional votes, second place candidate increased by 14
votes and third place increased by 10
votes. Although the winner remained, the
difference increased from 64 votes to 72 votes. Conclusion - There were 6 dropped
ballots and 46 votes not counted on election day that were subsequently counted
when the race was isolated. The ovals were separate and red,
not thick. Pens were Sanford Express Medium
tip. They should have been bold tip. Ballots were cut showing timing marks in
four corners. There were some that were not cut correctly and were culled
before the election. Scary stuff.
