I hate it when I am right ...Sometimes...
Well, if you read my previous post ( NO VOTER - NO FRAUD) then you know what the title is about.
As I listened to Judge Bridges ruling, I heard the section dealing with the fact that the Republicans
had not submitted any evidence of fraudulent voters for Gregiore, but the Democrats had.
Obviously, a tactical mistake for the Republicans Lawyers. But the reality is, if you have more ballots
than voters how do you proof who the illegal voter was? I do not ask this question rhetorically.
I mean this is suppose to be a secret ballot election, so after the voter is credited; there is no other
data collected. You have only a uniform ballot by district or a electronic total for the votes in that
machine. This is why the ballot reconciliation is so important. But without a way of proving who voted in
any election there is no way of accounting for any additional ballots.

This brings up the problem that Judge Bridges did not want to deal with and the Republican
Lawyers did not present.
If you have "X" number of voters credited with voting in this contest
minus "A" number of disqualified ballots for errors with the ballot,
minus "B" number of voters who did not vote for governor in that portion of the ballot;
how do you end up with "Z" more ballots than voters in an that same election?
And that is before, you remove the "C" number of illegal voters.

So, if there is no real reconciliation and election officals do not have to account for the ballot's voter.
Do we really have a fair election?
