Can someone please help me understand what the hell is going on with our Election Officials? Doesn’t it seem like they should take a basic competency test before being placed in charge of a process that decides our country’s leaders? I watched a press conference from the head of the board of elections in Nevada. I’m not sure who is dumber, the media or the officials. That’s 20 min of my life I’ll never get back. It was more like watching Larry, Curly and Moe smack each other around until an adult with an IQ over 80 showed up to stop them. I swear it feels like these election officials want us all to believe that it’s a complicated process. Seems to me they’re akin to NASA Engineers trying to figure out how to defecate in space.
Let’s compare Florida to Pennsylvania. Florida was able to give us clean and definitive vote tallies before the end of election night. Pennsylvania hasn’t even been able to figure out when the election is supposed to end. I wonder if the US Constitution addresses this issue at all. Hmmmm. But, that would require someone with at least a 6th grade understanding of civics to be at the helm.
Let’s talk a little about election security. I think it’s pretty obvious to everyone that the way these ballots are handled and transported is a complete joke. Doesn’t it make sense that a batch of ballots should be protected just like a piece of evidence that is recovered by a police officer before being transported? Seal it, Mark it, Date it and Sign it. Then, have someone else verify and confirm it. In Detroit, Michigan I saw videos of individuals, haphazardly unloading ballots out of the back of cars with no one else monitoring the movements. I saw other individuals carrying in large sacks and coolers to the counting areas. They were only going to work a 4 hr shift. They walked right through without being checked by security. Wouldn’t it make sense to know exactly how and when the ballots arrive and by whom? At least standardize the packages they get transported in. One guy used a blue cooler, and another lady used a santa sack. This looks like high likelihood of impropriety on its face – even if it isn’t.
Lastly, what’s up with forcing all arguments and challenges to the process to be completed by Dec 8th? This is a legal process. You can’t even adjudicate a lawsuit over your neighbors’ new fence in that short amount of time. And, you think that hundreds of lawyers can all get their case heard about systemic failure in a national election that fast? This part of our republic is busted!
