Another thing, Duggan and Napoleon seem to be on the same page here, in that both think this is ridiculous, and that we obviously need the feds to come in and supervise the November election.

Also, it seems ridiculous that tabulating write-ins with arabic numerals [[1, 2, 3, etc) vs. tally marks would be reason to throw out ~20,000 otherwise properly cast ballots. Using a different counting system is reason to invalidate the people's votes?

On the whole, the Board of Canvassers probably did the right thing by passing the buck to the State on this one. But JFC this shouldn't even be an issue... There was obviously going to be many write-in votes this election, that was clear. Poll workers should have been properly trained. This is not the fault of those that did the counting, but those that failed to train and inform the poll workers/inspectors on how to do their job. Where's that "Janice Winfrey's got to go" thread????
