Reply #51: I'm inclined to think that they were pressured or bribed [View All]

[Ellipsis]

maybe blackmailed, or threatened with dismissal ..whatever... They are certainly not the masterminds. As I understand it is a felony but the maximum sentence is 18 months... seems like the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

What I want to know, like Patsy up thread asked here and also asked Botany on another thread who seemed to know they were about to be made public, is WHY haven't they been made availabe? I noticed OTOH commented on different states having different rules... but this state has been the center of controversy for over two years.

As I understand it the VOTES WERE TO BE DESTROYED (back in Sept. I think) but Richard Haye's declaration (included below) was pivotal in a the judges order to stay the destruction ....my understanding of which the destruction was to be done under Blackwell's behest while other election ballots from older elections were still archived ...and this was outside of normal procedure. So... was Blackwell just not allowing the votes to be accessed by the public is that it?



This is a long dry but informative read
