It
has been a very slow day today. Secretary of State Bowen has
now sent a letter to the Los Angeles Registrar asking him to
provide information back to the state with regards to the
tens of thousands of uncounted “Double Bubble” ballots.
She has also suggested that the county actually count many
of those ballots where they know the voter intent. When
“Decline To State” voters went to the polls and asked
for a ballot to vote either American Independent or
Democratic the poll workers were supposed to annotate the
party (AI or DEM) in the poll book. If all of the DTS voters
at a polling site asked to vote DEM then all of those
ballots can be counted because the voter intent is clearly
known. Only when an AI voter is thrown into the mix does the
count become more difficult....
