Daily Voting News For September 20, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
The unbelievable is still happening in Palm Beach Co Florida. The county counted, re-counted by machine all previously
machine counted ballots and recounted by hand all under and over voted ballots. The recounts showed that thousands of
ballots were suddenly missing from the original count totals. A search was carried on by elections officials, police and
fire personnel. That search found all of the missing ballots plus more. Now, under orders from the courts, a new recount
is underway. The machine recount has added votes for both candidates from the original count, 227 ballots more than
election officials reported were cast during the primary and 29 more ballots than officials said they had in their
possession after the search and ballot count. Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson didn’t show up for the search or
the re-recount that is still going on today and will probably not finish until tomorrow. He called in sick. Probably the
right move and maybe he should just resign and let someone else fix the problems....
