ATLANTA -- A previously missing election machine memory card in Seminole
County has reversed the apparent outcome of a legislative race where
early results showed a Republican incumbent losing his seat.

Are you kidding me? Those votes need to be verified as there's no chain
of custody. Is that what Trump meant in 2020 by "finding votes"?

I can remember as far back as 2000 when it was Republicans that were upset over "chain of custody" when a bunch of alleged ballots were "found."

Trump isn't the first who wanted to "find votes," he is just the first to say the quiet part out loud.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that a lot of areas don't really take elections seriously enough to have safeguards in place to prevent memory cards, ballots, etc., from ever being "missing," among many, many other things.

I don't understand that - I've known people who worked supporting
elections, and they saw it as a solemn duty that was one of the
foundations of our government.

Same! I am under the impression that supposedly-backwards Kentucky takes these things very seriously. But then you see evidence of other areas... Minnesota, Florida, Chicago, Georgia, etc... where they really are not taking their duty very seriously at all. Or maybe where they believe their duty is to their personal beliefs more than to the election process.

To me that is very frustrating, regardless of who that means might win. I just wonder if it is becoming more difficult to get (good and honest) people to work the polling locations than it used to be.
