Reply #73: Okay here is a partial answer to the absentee counting thing [View All]

[truedelphi]

In the town of Fairfax CA, the absentee ballots from that town were bundled into
a pile of all absentee ballots - I am not sure if this means the entire COunty of Marin or the entire group from the town of fairfax.

Then when the man who lost by a few hundred votes wanted a recount, he was told he had topay some exorbitant sum (the Countyw anted $ 13,999 just for beginning the process) so that the ballots coul dbe separated back into the precincts of origin

It's a small town - shoul dnot have been that expensive.

And Kathy Dopp has sent out emails to people asking that we petition to ask the states to all keep records of types of ballots used - inother words at the end of the election when the states issue a total tally they do not explain how many are from absentee, how many from polling places, how many were provisional.

I will try to find out exactly where she needs us to send the petitions if anyone wants to help out
(Hope what I am posting is not too confusing and actually helps some)
