Careful, we Pennsyltuckians don't want a tsunami.

These kinds of crimes need much harsher penalties, if they want the electorate to believe in the system.

From what I read, and it wasn't much, the hand recounts were/are less accurate anyway.

These things happen in every election...does it mean it is widespread and systematic....nope!

But the point is not the mistakes that are inevitable, it's the manipulating of the system to "guide" the outcome to a predetermined conclusion.
Election workers actively working to prevent an accurate count or recount, should be shot. No question..... shot, as in capital punishment. There is no greater crime against the people than corrupting the election process.

Gonna be hard to find poll workers... in this Commonwealth you need at least three paid workers in every polling location and they get about $100 each. If they stand a chance of being shot, they will want more pay.

Perhaps we could offer them hazard pay.

Pehaps if they didn't fuck with the election they wouldn't have to worry about it.

Bruce, thats not realistic - If we all did the "right thing" we wouldn't need laws.

Apparently Ohio has a real problem finding poll workers

Quote:

Ohio's secretary of state is considering a plan to draft poll workers to supplement an aging work force and shorten the job's long hours, a spokesman said Saturday. Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, plans to ask the GOP-controlled Legislature to authorize the proposal, Brunner spokesman Jeff Ortega said Saturday. Experts said Ohio would be the first state to use a draft.

Brunner believes the move would lower the average age of poll workers from 72 and ease the workload. Ohio has about 47,000 poll workers - or just over four per precinct.

That works out to about 12,000, one per precinct, that have to be trained to tamper with the machines. The rest can be doing what they are supposed to be doing, ie draftees.
