Two update items to share with y'all.
Last time I posted I was encouraging Michiganitesersians to vote for Mr. Kucinich because of his recount efforts in New Hampshire amongst a few other reasons. Well, Dennis could not overcome Hillary. In fact, he got crushed by Uncommited. He even got about 3,000 votes less than Giuliani.
I see Uncommited as the big winner. The exit polls reveal that Uncommitted won the following votes: youth (under 30), intellectual (post-grad), wealthy (over $100,000 / year), independents, African-American, non-whites, and urban. That probably makes someone at the Clinton Camp wince. Luckily for them, it does not much matter as she won the delegates. None-the-less, momentum is moving towards Uncommitted.
Second update item. Many folk think I am crazy for being so 100% convinced that our voting system is flawed and easily manipulated in a time where politicians are at their most immoral and dishonest. I got a bit a wish when Kucinich paid to recount New Hampshire. It was a safe way to go about it and part of the reason I love people like Kucinich in these races. It was safe because if all is on the up and up, we all just laugh at the little sky gazer and he doesn't care because he goes home with a clean conscience and a hot wife. If something is found, it is a primary so the world does not end. And the publicity may get this thing fixed.
Anyway, the recount started yesterday. The first thing we discovered is that memory cards are unaccounted for. Missing. No one keeps track of them after the election. No one. Not even the Secretary of State. The next thing we learn, they do not keep track of the error reports. No one. Etc.
Here is the recount page for you to follow. The disparities are already over the .5% discrepency threshold at around 3.5%, about 7 times over the legal election limit. Don't worry. No one will get pulled over for this. This is only the first check point.
The error logs that were found show that in the town of Stratham alone 550 of the 3000 ballots cast (18%) were not counted. This was remedied for the result but the question is asked what if the results were only off by 55 votes (1.8% - still not legal) would anyone have noticed? \
Kudos to Kucinich. You can follow with the links.
Dude, this dude is cutn'dapastin from Blasphemes!?

No, he has been following this. I found the results page through him. Hence, the link to that very page.
ReplyDeleteMy point (poorly made perhaps) was simply that the time is now to reform our voting system. If it takes Kucinich to do so, bless him.
I like that we just talk to each other here with little interruption. I do miss the broken English link guy and Holly Wood.
ReplyDeleteNo one ever responds to my comments; reckon that I check the site after the furor has abated. Stevie, look to Joe Joe Grady for a review of my impostor's movie.
