Time for a do over

Call me a wild eyed radical BUT. Those States that have had to have a recount for whatever reason, broken machines, late ballots, found ballots whatever, need a do over. In one month run the voting process again. All voting to have two observers, one from each party. All mail in votes to be escorted to the counting rooms and ALL counting of paper ballots be observed by independent observers.

There is to much shady **** going on to have faith that the election past has any validity in those states. The cost can be covered by the U.S. Govt. The trust in our electoral system has to be restored.

At this point, i do not have faith that the election in those states reflects the true wishes of the population of those states. Nor do I believe the re count process will accurately reflect the true vote.

I agree, when it looks shady people are skeptical and this one has gone far past shady. I can see a little mistake, like running a little late, but when you leave stuff all over the place, in rental cars, refuse to let officials oversee your work, etc. that is just flat out cheating and nefarious thoughts city. This election process we have has been going on for way too long to have these kinds of issues happen, fire and replace election workers who do not take their job seriously and who can not seem to get their job done. Those workers who break the law while doing their job need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I don't know if a "do over" is legal, but I think something needs to be done. The federal government should not pay for it, though. The cost should be the burden of the states that allowed this to happen.

Thinking that's why states have a recount depending on how close the vote is. Most counties in the state have to certify the voting.

Now I not as naive to think that every single vote is counted as errors occur in machine and hand counting. As for misplacing and finding them that's another story.

As for numbers of voters voting vs registered voters?????? That does need further examination, maybe at both the state and federal levels.

Right now I'm still in favor of counting all the votes. That even includes those e-mail ones that aren't allowed in FL because of the hurricane.
