In the mind of the Trumplings, any victory by a republican is a correct victory. But any mere possibility of a victory by a democrat is all done by voting by dead people, illegal immigrants and stuffed ballots.

In other words, the Trumplings are sore losers who cannot accept defeat.

I think all of you who are complaining about there being some sort of Democratic vote finding conspiracy must not live in Ohio - which has a Republican governor and the counties in question are primarily run by Republicans lol.



Also, you also must not know about the 2004 election where Bush won based on some thought of shiesty measures.



Republicans are actually looked at a lot here in Ohio as "fixing" elections over the past 15 years - not the Democrats. The counties in charge of counting ballots for this election are primarily GOP controlled counties - not Democrats - this is not an urban "blue" district. I'd honestly think that someone in the GOP was trying to "hide" the 588 Democratic votes, not the Democrats "finding" them out the wazoo. We have a pretty cut throat GOP in Ohio.

That is the type we use also - no room for error or manipulation.
Apparently they were using computers - a flash drive was collected from each computer (apparently for a back-up) to something called a Master PEB that tabulates/reports all the votes from the machines at a
voting location. This particular location had 2 Master PEBs (they don't explain why) and the story is that only one of them was read ..... they "found" the extra votes on the extra PEB. ONLY found in Precinct 3 of all the precincts were located at the Griswold Center at 777 High Street in Worthington.

The votes from a portion of one voting location had not been processed into the tabulation system. Election night results are tabulated through the use of a device called a master PEB that is returned to the Board along with flash drives from each machine. The Griswold Center voting location had two master PEB’s, only one of which was read and processed into the tabulation system on Election Night.

This is much more inventive and high tech than " locked in a trunk" or "found in cushions".

If it had been Republicans trying to play dirty, those votes never would have been found. They wouldn't have been conveniently hidden in a chair LOL, and then located a day or two later. They would have been destroyed, burned, or shredded into a million pieces and dumped in a landfill. There's no motive to hide something in a stupid location like a chair and then find it so you can lose an election. Duh!!
It's only Democrats that have a long and colorful history of playing this game with ballots. Somehow, they're too stupid to keep ballots in a safe place and not lose them but they're smart enough to find them when needed. No one is being fooled here and you know it and you can't convince anyone with an ounce of common sense otherwise.

You would be worried that you might accidentally stick ballots in a cushion?

It's that kind of "mistake" that makes people scratch their head.
