BBV: Electoral Board in Fairfax County VA STONEWALLS State Senator
I never saw this story until today, and am about to throw a fit. What is it with these elections officials? Do they not recall that they work for the public, and are employed to serve OUR interests?

If anyone is in VA and knows more about this, fill me in please.

It's election day in VA and TN. If anyone hears of any problems, please let us know.

1. And this surprises you how?
They've been doing the same thing in Georgia for 2 years. Have no doubt, this stonewalling is all orchestrated by R. Doug Lewis.

2. No Recounts
I have been told that some election officials are simply thrilled over the prospect of never having to do another recount.

Not all, but a lot.

Remember, this includes the IACREOT group that threw Dr. Mercuri out of their meeting but welcomed vendors with open arms.

Didn't want to hear about any paper ballot- that would mean they might have to perform a civic duty.

3. They Pay No Penalites
Nothing happens to them for not upholding the law, for not having eithics, for not protecting the vote.

No pain, no gain- for us.

You're going to have to hit them where it hurts, in their wallets and in their reputations- and you're going to have to make it hurt more than whatever they get, money or ego flattery, from the corporate vending industry.

This is going to take action, like legal recourse, before they pay any attention. Think of it like the old saying of what you have to do to get a mules attention. Make an example of a few of them, the rest will do their lemming scurry to NOT fall prey to the same.
