of Thousands of Voters Stand to be Disenfranchised for No Reason at All...
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5692Every Vote Counted REDUCES the Current Error Rate! The Registrar Must Act NOW!
You can read The BRAD BLOG's previous detailed explanations of the current Los Angeles County "Double Bubble" ballot debacle here and here.
If you've yet to sign the Courage Campaign's petition demanding that these ballots be counted immediately, please do so right now!
As the clock ticks towards the date required for final certification of as many as hundreds of thousands of currently uncounted ballots in Los Angeles County --- due to an idiotic, ill-conceived, and possibly illegal scheme by the county's Registrar of Voters --- it is imperative that those ballots be counted immediately.
While the acting Registrar has claimed, incorrectly, that it is "impossible" to accurately determine the intent of the voters on those ballots, he is wrong.
Almost every single uncounted ballot can be counted today with absolutely certainty that the intent of the voter is being accurately recorded.
With current the miscount/error rate of those uncounted ballots --- on which the voter's intent has currently been inaccurately recorded by the optical-scan voting machines as "no vote" --- now standing at 100%, almost every single ballot counted will only lower that rate at best. At worst, in a tiny (almost infinitesimal) percentage of ballots, the current error rate will be not be lowered, though it will not be increased.
Thus, the error rate can be reduced to almost 0% if the Registrar's office will simply begin counting the ballots --- immediately.
