(8,513 posts)Everyone acts like no one ever verifies the tabulators in this state, when they actually get verified every election cycle through audits and through recounts. We had a statewide recount last year. As an observer fully aware of the potential for flipping votes, I willingly stood over the tabulators as the clerks fed the ballots through and manually counted the votes at the same time. So did observers in nearly every other county. There was not one report of a tabulator flipping votes.
Imagine that.
We've had local recounts in the county I live in every election year (spring, fall and recall) and stil, no tabulators got the tally wrong.
Imagine that.
We're in the middle of a recount in one of the state senate races now. Do you think if a tabulator had totally fucked up tabulating that the losing GOPpie candidate wouldn't be screaming bloody murder? Or the winning Dem for that matter?
Really, all the conspiracy stuff without out evidence just numbs the public to real potential threats.
