Unbelievable. Nobody will trust outcomes now.

That’s a silly conclusion. They have checks to prevent problems. The check raised a problem and they fixed it. Don’t you have a job? People aren’t perfect and tiny envelopes everywhere is a recipe for errors. Truly, people should vote in person.

You are living in a bubble if you don't know people were already upset about the validity of the election "before" this news came out.

Before you get your hopes up, Blair would need to win 70% of these votes to catch up.

They haven't completed the audit that found these.

OP, some questions for you:

1. Do you honestly think these ballots will change the outcome?
2. If so, do you think the Board of Elections has gone rogue to try to get Blair elected?
3. If these ballots won't change the outcome, then how does this incident figure into your narrative of an invalid election?

You are making a lot of assumptions about me. Understandably, I guess. I have worked for government for almost 40 years and have become gravely concerned with how little anyone trusts government or governmental processes like this. I wasn't born here, and it's reminiscent of the country I grew up in, which has had periods of true instability, and one coup. It very much reminds me of that.

1. No, not as it stands. I think this will close the gap to about 20, based on where the uncounted votes are coming from. However, they are still going through the audit process today. I don't know if more uncounted ballots will be found or not.
2. Of course they didn't go rogue. I work for government. I know how hard employees work to do the right thing. Most government workers are true public servants, regardless of what the public thinks. We make mistakes. Only occasionally are people corrupt.
3. See my prior comments. Many people already think this election is stolen. This will further exacerbate those concerns.

Wait. Isn't the fact that they found these provisional ballots a good thing? Question, It means they're doing what they're supposed to be doing

Yeah um, you need to have put more detail in your OP, because as it stands right now it looks like you are encouraging people to disbelieve the outcome.

Get back to work, btw.

lol, I'm on vacation.

But at 5:30am, that's as much detail as I can do. I just wanted to post the link for people to read, and know that Jeff doesn't allow just links.

The problem is the election was weeks ago. Why are they just now "finding" ballots at this point? How many more ballots will they "find"?

FWIW, I got an email yesterday saying my provisional ballet had been counted. Weird.

They are supposed to be able to keep track of things. Saying the system worked to catch these things is their excuse for saying we screwed up but yay for us we found them.

I’m not sure what the conspiracy theory is here. Is it that if Elrich wins its because mail votes are fraudulent, and so therefore it is bad that we found more votes that could potentially favor Blair?
