Fulton County has a "bad card" which is delaying the results.

Fulton County officials said due to data error from one of the cards, they will have to manually go through hundreds of cards to find the culprit. The Fulton Elections Chair did not give a timeline.

So what happens to the votes stored on that specific memory card?

1. "...what happens to the votes...?"

Who's doing the counting?

[herding cats]

2. That was my first thought.

They're stealing it again.

[dchill]

10. "Stealing" is such a harsh word.

They're just reaccommodating a few votes.

3. Morons should invest in pencils and paper

like other democratic nations.

5. The system they have works just fine

Gives them the results they want every time.

6. With that I agree 100%, nt

[LaydeeBug]

7. Yep...and it'll be *JUST* ebough to force a runoff. Watch. nt

[herding cats]

9. Yup.

I'm so pissed off right now!

8. My BS Detector is going off big time.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but this stinks. And happens all too frequently. Close race, Dem doing well... all of a sudden the counting stops for some strange/unknown reason. In the middle of the night a few thousand votes are "found" for the Repug. I realize in this case the Dem will still be in first place, but the 50% threshold to prevent a runoff was/is important

11. This is ridiculous.

Voting is sacred and should be something a citizen can trust to be secure in a democracy.

Maybe this will light a fire under potential Democratic voters in the runnof at least.

13. If you are in a Democracy and can't vote

Or can't trust that your vote counts, you have literally no say in your Government. Voting should be easy and transparent. People literally died for this right, and we should not have to take it on faith that the process was fair and accurate.

[herding cats]

15. Exactly.

[mvd]

17. The fact that we have to be so suspicious shows..

how far we have come from being a true democracy. Trust in the voting system is a must for a democracy.

[moriah]

12. And sure enough....

14. I'm shocked

Until we claw back our electoral process (and believe me, tptb will put up one hell of a fight) *nothing* else gets fixed. This means fair elections and it means getting the special interest money out of politics. This shit needs to stop.

16. Saxby Chambliss got his U.S. Senate seat via Georgia's Diebold voting

machines during the Bush II regime. Chambliss returned the favor by being a loyal GOP puppet to his master, Shrub.
