A ‘No Vote’ Ballot Counted As A Gregoire Vote

Reader Brian Thomas forwarded a very detailed letter [to Rossi] ... describing his experience as a recount worker.

[On 12/20/04] in a second count of a box of absentee ballots I found, in the middle of ballots with Christine Gregoire votes, a ballot on which the bubble next to Christine Gregoire had been filled in and ‘X’ed out twice. ‘X’ing out a bubble being the correct procedure for canceling a vote on an absentee ballot. Next to the ‘X’ed out bubble was printed the words “no vote” with an arrow pointing to the name Christine Gregoire. I showed the ballot to the recorder and the Democrat counter and held it so that it could be seen by the observer sitting next to me. I handed the ballot to the recorder to be sent to the canvas board. When filling out the tally slips the ballot was again viewed and noted by the Democrat counter and myself as a canvas ballot and by the recorder on the recorder’s tally slip as a canvas ballot. The ballot was handed to the runner as a canvas ballot with the box of counted ballots

“How and why did the ballot end up in the previously counted Gregoire ballots?

Our count was the second count of that precinct as there was a previous tally slip in the sealed box when it was opened. I was at least the third person to have viewed that ballot as it would had been viewed by the two counters during the previous count. Yet a ballot clearly marked as to not be a vote for Christine Gregoire was in with the ballots with Gregoire votes and not separated out in a way that would denote that it had been counted as anything other than a Gregoire vote.

A criminal political entity and a corrupt shyster have staged a coup d'etat in Washington State.

Your welcome. I thought it was as well and hope that many more will read it and awaken to what the dems are doing to us.

I was young and naive, believing that the ACLU stood for civil liberties.

In reality I came to clearly learn that it the most successful of the old Stalinist commie fronts, completely devoted to the destruction of the USA by using our own laws agaiunst us. The ACLU particularly hates Christianity and seeks to annihilate all public mention of it.

Reading this makes me so angry! I can just feel my blood pressure rising. Ive always believed the machine counts are the most accurate, cause machines can't be partisan. Now that I read this I think these so called ''hand recounts'' should be outlawed!Unless its just Republicans doing the counting! I know this sounds nuts but I will never trust these RATS with an election again!
