Invalidated Ballots, Recounts and Tainted Winners

Did you know that San Diego's voters are criminals? They are if you believe the statments of Republican Dick Murphy, who it appears is now mayor of San Diego, CA on a technicality. A recount shows invalidated ballots would have elected Donna Frye as Mayor of San Diego, CA, the sixth largest city in the United States of America.



Murphy has stated in several news conference that those who voted for Frye, a write-in candidate, by writing in her name but not by also filling in a circle next to her handwritten name, cast ILLEGAL votes. This was the first time the city was using these types of ballots, and it is clear that voter intent was for Frye. However they swore-in Murphy.



Have we become so "sophisticated" that we take one of the basic privileges in this country away from citizens. Clearly more than 5,000 Frye supporters voted for Frye than did Murphy supporters vote for Murphy. Hmmm it perhaps does not matter how you win, so long as you get pronounced the winner in politics.



I want to see how this ends since during the retrograde there was a recount and Murphy ws sworn in during a time period that does not make things "stick". Mercury reaches its pre-retrograde direct station on January 7, 2005 - which happens to be the last day she can file a legal challenge. Wouldn't that be interesting to see Frye given the position voters overwhelmigly wanted for her and Murphy be unseated?



San Diego voters are furious and rallying around her. The Councilwoman remains cool.



Farther north in Washington State three recounts have shown finally that a Democratic woman, Christine Gregoire, won the governorship of the state by less than 200 votes...but the Republican male who ran against her won't concede. The San Francisco Gate reports: Gregoire says it is over, but even those whose most fervent holiday wish was for a decided election don't really believe that. The Republicans are pushing hard for counties to reconsider ballots they believe were wrongly rejected. The whole mess will probably head back to court, and it is not at all clear whether Washington will have a governor by inauguration day, Jan. 12.



Invalid ballots, recounts, bitter partisanship. Voting is not just for breakfast anymore......
