Pima County has discovered 208 additional valid general election ballots this morning that have not been counted, an official said.

The uncounted ballots (come) from Congressional District 2, where Republican Martha McSally has a 133 vote lead over incumbent Democrat Ron Barber.

bump

208 additional ballots with 280 additional votes for the democrat?

[Red Badger]

I think if the Chain of Custody is broken, the Democrats should be suspects............

[Bettyprob]

Shades of Al Franken (2008) and Christine Gregoire (2004). Always within a few hundred votes; always magically finding new ballots that help the Democrats.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Good idea. Also, we should put GPS tracker devices in each “box” so that it can be followed from the time of the election until it is “found”.

Also should check for fingerprints, DNA, and Obama for Commissar fliers in them.

How do you lose ballots? In my district you hand your ID to the first poll worker and your name is entered into the computer along with being hand written in a book. Even before it was computerized you had to sign off in a book with every registration and they had the same hand written book. They know exactly how many ballots have been issued. Other than people sneaking out without actually voting the number of ballots in each precinct better match with the number of people who signed in. You don't just lose and later find hundreds of ballots.

Now how does it happen in other states? You should know exactly how many ballots are missing from each precinct. The precinct judges from the precincts that "lost" those ballots better be getting their butts reamed for this. And if no one knows which precinct they came from then the entire election board better be tossed for incompetence.

Franken has some help from the Communist Party’s “friend” Secy of State Mark Ritchie, who controlled the ballot boxes and counting.

PUT NOTHING PAST THE LEFT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO MORALS, ETHICS, OR CONSCIENCE.

Quick - somebody find 300 ballots for the Republican!

[x1stcav]

Time to start putting some fear into demonrats.

If my math is right, even with 400 votes to be counted, it would take the Dem getting 2/3 of the uncounted votes in order to prevail. Is this realistic?

[AzSteven]

The ballots are from generally GOP-heavy Green Valley, south of Tucson. It may work out for the positive, and potentially even avoid a recount if McSally manages to net a gain of 68 or more votes

[Norm Lenhart]

When one of these robbed/screwed GOP candidates files fraud charges, I will think something other than this simply being Kabuki theater to give the illusion of free elections.

[GeronL]

yep

[Kenny Bunk]

There are 208 "found" ballots, folks who sent in special school board ballots with their "early" ballots. Then there are another 200 "provisional" ballots, you know, spoiled, dropped, etc?

So, let's see here, Scumbag Barber is 133 behind ....and of course, there's a box'o'ballots that got stuck behind the spare tire in the county van, let's see now, how many did the Dem need?

[PAR35]

Let me guess. 174 will be for the democrat, giving him a one vote win.

The Democrats are (in)famous for this. It's how LBJ won his first US Senate election -- back when winning the Democrat primary in Texas was tantamount to election. Google for "LBJ Box 13" for the story:

How Johnson Won Election He'd Lost

[Gumdrop]

Probably found in Al Franken’s trunk!

[KC Burke]

Possibly. But the one thing we know for sure is that they are going to keep “finding” ballots until a Democrat “wins.”
