Reply #20: Ballot box shuffle [View All]

[jmknapp]

On whether ballots were put into the wrong boxes, there is this documented case:

precinct kerry bush badnarik peroutka

CLEVELAND-8G 232 20 51 1
CLEVELAND-8I 251 8 0 28

So Badnarik got an inordinate number of votes (51) in 8G and Peroutka likewise (28) in 8I.

The polling location in this case was Cory United Methodist Church, 1117 E. 105th St.

Now looking at the voteprotect.org EIRS case reports, there is an entry for Cory United Methodist:

"People from the H line were dropping ballots into the G Box because poll workers were moving people to a different line. Voter noticed mistake and alerted election inspector. Don't know what was done to correct it." (EIRS case #047393)

This strengthens my impression that the precinct is NOT machine-coded on the punchcards, and nothing prevents cards marked (visually) for one precinct being run through another precinct's counting machine.

All cards should be audited to make sure they were run through the correct machine.
