he Democrat will “win” this election as all votes found in closets or wastebaskets are necessarily Democrat votes. Republicans probably will not seriously challenge the chicanery.

[arthurus]

The public may be fed up and they are not fooling anyone but the found votes will stand and be counted. That is Tradition.

This finding of lost ballots to help the democrats is an old, old story going back to their Jacksonian days.

I can’t recall the Republicans pulling such Shenanigans.

[Vinnie]

They’ll recount and recount. Find votes in various places. When the ‘Rat is ahead the recounts stop.

[blueplum]

Did they forget to count a graveyard, again?

[M. Thatcher]

they are usually ‘found’ by Dems

Not "usually."

ALWAYS.

Ohio law calls for an automatic recount if the two candidates
are ultimately separated by less than half a percentage point.

After the polls closed, the votes counted, and Trump declared Balderson the winner, election officials in Ohio say they found 588 uncounted votes Wednesday in a suburb of Columbus. County officials said. “The votes from a portion of one voting location had not been processed into the tabulation system,” officials explained. “Election night results are tabulated through the use of a device called a master PEB that is returned to the Board along with flash drives from each machine. The Griswold Center voting location had two master PEB’s, only one of which was read and processed into the tabulation system on Election Night. The additional votes identified during this preliminary audit will be reflected in the final official results certified by the Board of Elections on August 24th.”

TRANSLATION: Democraps are stealing the election from the Republican winner.

===================================

Trump should issue an E/O to be adopted as official policy in each state by the Secys of State who oversee elections: once the polls close and the votes are in, no other votes can be counted.....especially those "accidentally" found later.

New votes discovered? Let me guess, news will report that: Dirty Trick by Republicans as They Tried to Hide 600 Democrat Votes!

[Retvet]

FLORIDA CHAD EATERS AGAIN?

[piasa]

Why are they still using paper ballots?

They should submit these for DNA testing or something to see how many people handled 600 ballots... I suspect fewer than 5 people...

[piasa]

All they need to do is get it close enough to force a recount.

During the recount they can add more.

[Chewbarkah]

Next round will involve so-called “provisional ballots” and “absentee” ballots. The Dems won’t stop cheating until they win. But “the Russians” are interfering with elections...

The last couple of weeks of that election Gov Kasich was doing his best to undermine Trump’s candidate. And now the Ohio election officials, whom answer to Gov Kasich, are going to continue to find boxes of uncounted votes until the Democrat gets the lead and the win. This kind of election fraud was perfected in Washington state when Christine Gregoire was beaten closely by a Republican and the State Supreme Court allowed over a dozen recounts when the law only authorized one, and of course with each recount more boxes of uncounted votes kept being found and added to the mix. Every box of vote increased the dem vote count and as soon as Gregoire had the lead the Washington Supreme Court ordered the recounts stopped and the election of Gregoire to be certified. It’s what the Florida Supreme Court tried to do for the dems in the 2000 election, but luckily it was a federal election and the USSC got involved and called them on their dishonesty. Unfortunately there was no higher authority available to stop the outright theft of a state election by the state Supreme Court.

You have to remember in Ohio, the Board of Elections has a representative from the R and the D as Director and Assistant Director. IF there was hanky panky, the R would be screaming bloody murder.

[Jagermonster]

Can’t we play this game too?

No.

[Fresh Wind]

Shouldn’t that be “undocumented” ballots?

[Crolis]

That was my experience in Fairfax County, VA as Chief Election Officer for a precinct. Upon opening the polls, we validated and recorded the metal numbered seals as well as verified that the machines read 0 and the protected counters showed what our documentation said they should.

Closing the polls was very similar. We tabulated the results, including write-ins, and sealed up all machines, recording the numbers of the security bands used.

The final results were written out and posted on the door of the polling place when the facility was closed. The tapes, provisional ballots, and memory cartridges were returned to the County election office that evening.

It’s not difficult to have safeguards against shenanigans, but good processes which are time-tested need to be put in place and you need people who are dedicated to tight security.

“Ohio” found them? Or did DEMOCRATS “find” them?

[Vigilanteman]

We do all of that except for the paper ballots because we do not use them (save for a few absentees). The absentees are delivered during election day and not opened until the polls are closed. The reason for that is that absentee voters who are able to vote in person are expected to do so and their absentee ballot is voided and returned to the courthouse.
