The gang that couldn't keep track of and count ballots
So 15 more uncounted ballots were found in Kanawha County this morning during the table games vote recount.
Will more be found as the day goes on? Will somone bother to ask why no one appears to have reconciled the number of votes cast with the number of people who voted? That should have shown that 15 ballots were missing. Will someone bother to ask how all this could happen?
What will Secretary of State Betty Ireland say? What surprise will come out of the Kanawha County clerk's office next?
This could get interesting.
Better them than us.
UPDATE: The AP says only 14 extra ballots were found, and when they were counted, the antis gained three votes. Another vote was gained somewhere, giving the antis a neg gain of four, which still left them far, far behind. So it's over.
But the Kanawha County Clerk will have a black eye over this one as long as she's in office. And you can't help but wonder what this says about the election as a whole.
