Reply #64: The novel, "Show Me, Missouri !! " [View All]

Chapter 1)Disaster in St. Charles, Missouri 11/7 5:32 PM

Preliminary (more info coming in)

ATTENTION:---- In the entire County of St. Charles, where the Election Director is Rich Chrismer (as in the father of Talent's Campaign Manager, Rich Chrismer), the head of the County Democratic Committee was told, in August, to name all poll judges (the judge part is still uncertain), challengers and watchers! Otherwise, he (Chrismer) did not have to consider any of them!!!

The St. Louis County legal team (headed by, I hear, Shonna Clemmings) knew about this at least two weeks before the cutoff date to submit these names (cutoff was 5:00 PM on Tuesday, 10/31) and managed to get seven people qualified in two weeks!

NOW, in St. Charles County, there are 240,000 ballots to be cast and there will not be one single pair of Democratic eyes to watch the process!

And even with a 60-40 (max) shift to red, that gave the Democrats a span of two weeks to find SEVEN poll challengers or verifiers in two weeks? And they had the 100,000 plus names and address!!

Holy Jumping Jesus!! Why even run the friggin' race? That's like fighting the Battle of Bull Run with Battle Axes!!!



Chapter 2) I think (?!) McCaskill has won!! Nov-08-06 01:00 AM

All the precincts are not yet in but, from what I see (and I parsed the counties), McCaskill will win (if there is no late night burglary!).

This is what shows now: ( Election results as of 12:35:37 on 11/08/2006)

Precincts Reporting 3183 of 3746

Talent, Jim REP 842,170 47.7% %
McCaskill, Claire DEM 867,295 49.1% %
Gilmour, Frank LIB 41,710 2.4% %
Lewis, Lydia PRG 15,722 .9% %

There are only four counties who show no returns yet, and none have the numbers or ooomph! to move these totals.

We also had our three folks in the central tabulating room of St. Charles county "menaced" by the local sheriff (really!!), but they stood their ground, called me, and we got them credentialed to stay!

We have still camera shots of the first 117 precincts, and
filming of the rest.

The vote for the first 117 seemed to stay around 51% to 48% in favor of Talent. But, sometime around the 169th to 170th (the absentees and provisionals) the margin spread. Our lady has *that* on film (but it may require enhancement).

I'm having the films duped tomorrow. Chrismer stopped bringing out the precinct postings after 117 and said they would be available for inspection tomorrow (and I'll have one of our folks pick up copies).

I imagine Chrismer is having some long hard thoughts about
whether to try to play with the figures or not. It will be a tough call. He really has no idea what we know or saw, so he will have to be careful.

They also sent out a Democratic attorney to oversee things.
Not take charge, but watch. From the phone call I just
received from my people, he seemed to be most interested in
how they attacked the problem of keeping Chrismer on the up
and up.

But he introduced himself, and made himself available to the St. Charles folks, and was a well-mannered suit, as I
understand it. They said the other expensive suit was filled with a man who had a rather sour expression through most of the night. Wonder why?

PS. My hackers decided to block anymore emails (i believe)
after they discovered I was sending screen shots. At the
least, my email was down this evening.

Ahhh, well, I'll just reformat and reinstall in a day or so. At least after I've laughed and cackled a wee bit, and caught up on some sleep.

PPS. We have the KC ED on film also. But we kicked their tails in KC, so it may not matter.



Chapter 3) Talent is conceding on ABC at this moment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nov-08-06 01:06 AM

Chapter 4) Disaster averted in St. Charles!! Nov-08-06 02:14 AM

How about the catastrophe in St. Charles??

Three heroic ShowMe citizens fought off the sheriff, GOP lawyers, and Rich Chrismer. Then stuck it out at the 170th precinct in St. Charles County, cameras and all!!

St. Charles went to Talent by 52 to 44% (probably 51% to 48% when we see the films, and recount).

Give a big HIP! HIP! HOORAY!!! to those brave souls from ShowMeTheVote!!!!
