I received an email from MoveOn.org, asking me to sign a petition to demand counting of all California ballots. Here is an excerpt:
According to investigative journalist Jon Rappoport, more than one million votes on Prop 37 (the GMO labeling initiative) in California have gone uncounted to date. Since the margin of “victory” is about 600,000 votes, this means Prop 37 may conceivably have passed.
Rappoport called the voter registrar offices in the largest California counties and nearly 1.7 million votes remain uncounted in Santa Clara, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange Counties alone. It is still unknown how many votes are uncounted in other California counties.
I have a lot of problems with this.
How can there be, after a full week has passed since the election, still 1.7 million votes uncounted in California. That’s more votes than there are people (not just registered voters) in each of these states:
- Wyoming
- Washington DC
- Vermont
- North Dakota
- Alaska
- South Dakota
- Delaware
- Montana
- Rhode Island
- New Hampshire
- Maine
- Hawaii
- Idaho
What about all the other propositions? What about the elected judges, school board members, etc? Are they all not decided yet?
How can a large state have such a defunct voting methodology that 1.7 million votes are not counted by one week after the election?
I live in one of the counties listed by Rappoport.
Did my vote get counted?
Will it EVER get counted?
Why does it take a petition to get our votes counted?
Do I have a right to know?
Are they done counting YET???
