Election Day Absurdity: Conspiracy? Carelessness? Coincidence?
I wrote a bit ago about the bizarre, Election Day foul-up my friend Karen experienced (no Green ballots in English available at her polling place – she had to use a ballot in Spanish to vote). Now it’s time to follow-up a bit:
Our local Green Party representative told Karen that 26 other Greens in our county experienced problems voting – they too arrived at their polling places to discover a lack of Green ballots in English. One Green voter was stuck using a ballot in Chinese.
I have questions:
26 Green voters experienced problems out of how many Greens that showed up at the polls?
How many voters from each party experienced difficulties? (Did more Greens experience troubles than members of other political parties? Let's compare how many party members from each party had difficulty voting.)
Were the problems for the Greens concentrated in specific precincts? Spread out? More problems in one precinct than another?
Did Greens across the state experience similar problems? What about at the national level?
Has this happened before? To what extent? What was done about it?
Is the Green party tracking the problems?
Should I start wearing tinfoil on my head?

boyed, thanks for the screech out (peep out? sing out? chirp out...who knows what terns say.....) on fathers day.
im not a dad. i am however a likely cautionary tale for the nephews and nieces and so a useful instrument of instruction all the same. thanks bird.
as kermit said it isnt easy being green. i already told you my green story. but, whenever conservative leaning creatures such as moi range outta our yards to vote 3rd party anything, thats when the dems get in. i see more conservatives trying to make the libertarian thing fly and being frustrated than i see democrats straying away. i dont know.
i see you and helly are on the mend. makes me wag.
how nice to not have to word verify! thank you!

i want to reassure my readers - i am not deleting comments which express an opinion contrary to mine - the deleted comment by anonymous was spam.
wouldn't you know it - as soon as K9 expressed delight over the lack of word verification - i get a damn spammer.
they are truly the scourge of the Internet and blogoland.
Perhaps the spammers also have a hand in screwing with the Green ballots.
Just a thought.
Bird'Sweet, a different green--mah rosemary is lush...mint too..read yore recipies and yum!
You're not paranoid. They really are out to get you!
Yes, probably best go with the tinfoil. Or with this maybe?
hmmmmmmmm, jack might have something there; what other 'xplanation could there be!?! {grin}
I imagine Aunt B is good at cooking up some greens - maybe she can cook you up some Green ballots?
