Unhinged Lena Says:
Citizens, who are going to county manual count, have to do the following:
1. demand to know the total of votes for every precinct. This helps to identify precincts, where votes where not counted, ballots being thrown away or bogus ballots added
2. demand verification that the people, who cast votes, are US citizens and eligible to vote. there is evidence of non citizens casting votes
3. demand verification that the ballots were updates and those do not belong to deceased individuals, or ones who moved out of state or ones who are voting in other states or were convicted of felonies and cannot vote.
I was an observer in a recount many years ago (Former Calif. Assembly Leader Richard Katz lost to Richard Alarcon for State Senate by 38 votes, IIRC). It is grueling work for a volunteer, just exhausting.
Orly still seems to be fantasizing that she can pull out a victory because the voting was corrupt of course, a new side of nutty but certainly not unexpected.
Her number 1 makes no sense: What will finding out the number of votes by precinct -- which is very available the night of the election but no one will be at any registrar's to pull that data right away, too much to do -- tell anything? Plus, in California, the results are not available for the absentee ballots by precinct. So, Orly might be able to find out that in my precinct, 400 people went to the polls and she got 12 votes in that precinct. Another 400 may have voted absentee since my precinct is usually at the 50 percent level, with over 30 percent permanent absentee voters. Those votes go into a big County pool only! She will know nothing from this exercise.
Her number 3 is just silly; the ballots being counted now are the ones that came in on Monday and Tuesday as absentee and the Provisional ballots for new registered voters missing from the rolls, people who went to the wrong precinct, etc. And there aren't another million.
Orly Prediction Alert: When they get to the end, Orly is going to calculate
how many ballots are missing from her 1.5 million estimate!
But what irks me more than anything is this idea in number 2:
Demand verification of the people who cast votes? In Orly's world, a secret ballot isn't secret. Are we all, in any given precinct that Orly picks, expected to be frog-marched to some location where our "Papers" will be checked? Egads, she is one sick chick!
btw, for those who don't already know this: For all the mention of Chavez and voting machines, we vote by paper ballot in California. Only the counting is done by electronic machine. All the paper ballots stick around, even after certification. That means Orly's fantasy can go on, and on, unfortunately.
