Thread Name: BS: Working (at last) in Guam
Subject: RE: BS: Working (at last) in Guam
The doctor told me that there were 70,000 votes cast in Guam for this last election. We were voting for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, all 16 senators, Attorney General, and a few other elected officials. There were two proposals on the ballot too. Prop A would raise the drinking age on Guam to 21 (from 18). Prop B would allow slot machines at the greyhound race track.

As I said there were 70,000 votes cast but somehow the Guam Election Commission "lost" 10,000 ballots. So there is some question about how the election really came out. Hmmm.

Note, all voting on Guam is done on paper ballots. All we have to do is fill in the circle and slip the ballots into the ballot box.

Further note, it just occurred to me that I have never voted on a machine...
