There are now anecdotal reports on other Web sites that voting machines were not delivered on time throughout Los Angeles. Because Los Angeles has a very heavy ethnic population, such tactics are of great concern. Unless they plan to count by hand at the polling place — and they do not — these tactics serve to centralize vote counting and introduce beastly new chain of custody and procedural issues.

Los Angeles has an especially heavy ethnic component to its voting population, which may affect one candidate disproportionately.

Bev, I just voted in Ramona (San Diego county). It was
a paper ballot which was put directly into a box via
the slit on the side. I had seen your video on the
seal used on the boxes and went over to the box after
my ballot was placed in there and easily peeled down
the seal to the horror of the workers there. It is
indeed a post-it note seal! What a joke!

Wait a minute - San Diego uses Diebold optical
scanners, doesn't it? Or did San Diego go to central
count? This stinks to high heaven — between
Sacramento ("testing inconsistencies in op-scan
causing them to bring ballots in for central count),
Los Angeles (machines 'not working' and 'not delivered
on time' causing them to put ballots in boxes for
central count), and now San Diego reports (putting it
in a ballot box, not running it through a scanner at
the polling place) — It sounds like California is
going to be one big central count game.

Which means every bit of what we just did in New
Hampshire applies directly to everyplace in California
where they start toting ballots around tonight.

And they're using the Post-It seals.

Now check this out: Polling place ballot box secured
only by a paper clip (paper clip is stuck into a
yellow thing) - and it's sitting within arm's reach by
a poll worker's feet.

I registered a complaint with the California Secretary of State's voter fraud department and she said there have been complaints from throughout the state. Let's see what happens. I hope the MSM does not start projeting (sic) the winners in California. This State is a MESS!

Yep, they called it already. The media likes to call the race before all the numbers are in, then say they're all done reporting as the glitches and mismatched reconciliations arrive.

Subject: Eye witness report of ballot stuffing in
Colo. caucus

COLORADO - I just interviewed a gentleman in Boulder,
Colorado who provided a detailed report. He was one of
the caucus officials (chairman? captain? not sure of
the lingo). They hand counted the ballots and the two
elderly ladies counted them wrong. He corrected them.
He carefully wrote down the correct information. While
he was doing this, one of the elderly ladies was
grabbing at the envelope; she ultimately did take the
envelope and hurry away with it.

She then dropped the envelope and as she was picking
it up, the gentleman I interviewed (who does have a
name, which I'll release with his permission when he
signs an affidavit) — anyway, he witnessed her take a
ballot (which he had NOT seen fall out of the
envelope) and put it into the envelope. He noticed
that, while all the ballots were folded, this one was
not folded.

She stated that she was bringing the envelope to where
the Republicans were putting all the ballots together.
He asked her where this would be, so he could go there
too. She said she might "stop at her home" on the way.

He called me initially, quite shaken, trying to learn
where the Boulder County Republicans were convening. I
do not know.

The miscounts were against Ron Paul. The extra ballot
inserted was for Romney. He expressed amazement that
these two seemingly nice elderly ladies were involved
in cheating, both on the count and, the one lady, with
the ballot stuffing. I should mention that the
attendance in his precinct was low, and even a few
ballots would skew the count.

As we know, in Iowa it was quite a delay before we
could get precinct results from the caucus. I am
unsure as to how promptly Colorado will release
precinct results, or even IF they will.
