It's ok, there is a tradition of this...


"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- DC Statehood Green Party members responded to published claims that the mystery of lost Statehood Green and Republican primary votes has been solved, saying that explanations from the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics (DCBOEE) raised new questions about the integrity of D.C. elections.

On October 23, the Statehood Green Party announced that former candidate Philip Blair, in routine review of votes after the September 25 primary election in Ward 5, discovered discrepances: only 89 votes recorded for 140 Statehood Green voters, with 51 votes apparently 'lost'; 40% of Republican votes also disappeared in the same Ward 5 primary (see "Voting irregularities discovered in Ward 5 primary election results in Washington, D.C." or )."
