Title: Provisional bullshit


Illpoetic - November 7, 2004 01:11 AM (GMT)
I was sitting down and I got to thinking about the election, namely the provisional ballot situation. Now I know of some situations when registered voters happened to "not be on the list" and were asked to fill out provisional ballots

doing the whole Ohio situation I noticed they said that the provisional ballots would not be opened for 10 days...meaning they were not counted in any state yet because the courts had to decide if they would count or not

being that over 130,000 provisional ballots were in Ohio alone I can just imagine how many were all over the U.S. And now that Kerry has conceded, none of those ballots counted in the election, and I know at least some of those, I heard a figure somewhere around 90% from past elections, would have been counted. Meaning a lot of Americans went out and voted and their votes were not counted. Now I don't know about y'all but I think that is a huge problem in this democratic process because the election should not be called to an end until all of those votes were counted. And sure they said Kerry had no chance of winning Ohio even with the provisional ballots, but think about it..provisional ballots were not counted in ANY state, meaning it damn well could have made a huge difference.

Fool us once, shame on you.
Fool us twice, the revolution begins.
