Don,

This stuff came from this woman's own posts. I didn't make this up.   I've included the URLs.

Votes and ballot-boxes are being carried off-site and stored in the homes of political partisans. This has happened in both Washington and Maine. Are People being disenfranchised? I don't know, but it sure looks fishy!

BTW, in Maine it manifestly does NOT work as you have described it, or MBW's posts would not exist. Obviously, it HAS taken several days for her to get these ballots counted.

Like you, I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Amy Hagopian in Washington and Mary Beth Williams in Maine may be perfectly honest people and they may put in results honestly.

What I AM saying is that we run our elections kind of like a banana republic, and that people who thought hanging chads and butterfly ballots were the weak link in an otherwise strong chain are very wrong.

There are ample opportunities for election fraud, and these were two examples.
