[EL] Iowa

[larrylevine at earthlink.net]

I have little doubt that a court would order the elections office to make every good faith effort to determine when the ballots were cast. Or ask the court to take possession of the ballots and make the determination. That elections officer should be removed from that office. How about the people who cast the ballots attesting to the court or the elections office when they were mailed. They certainly would have standing in a legal action to have their votes counted.

Have I missed any discussion of Winneshiek County, IA. It seems there are a small number of uncounted absentee ballots, 29 in one report, 32 in this one. They were received after Election Day but IA goes by postmark. The problem is the county failed to use intelligent bar coding. They could find out the day they were mailed from the Post Office but refuse to do it. Now, 29 or 32 ballots aren’t many, but the vote difference between the candidates is only 7. 





Wouldn’t good faith and a desire to count votes accommodate a walk over to the post office so the ballot envelopes could be read?
