I just thought of something. Regarding the optiscan machines - I noticed something funny when I went to vote on Nov. 2. I noticed that when I blackened the holes on my optiscan ballot with the marker, the ink didn't completely fill the circles on the ballot.
I just wonder if it would be possible to fill the Democratic precincts with "faulty" optiscan ballot holders that would be off-track enough so that a certain number of ballots couldn't be read. I know, it sounds a little nutty, but it's possible.
After all, the rate of ballot spoilage has been very high in the democratic precincts. I realize most of the spoiled ballots are from the punch card machines, but... there must certainly be spoiled ballots from the optiscan holders as well.
Any input on this?
