DEMO PARTY RUNOFF ELECTIONS NOT OVER?


By Juan Montoya
Just when you thought the Democratic party runoff elections were over, we learn that there might be a little problem.
Apparently, the suave assurances that the election-day "glitches" that delayed the release of the results May 27 may not have been the only problems for Cameron County Elections Department administrator Chris Davis.
Now we learn that the Justie of the Peace, Precinct 3, Place 1, may be up in the air with the sudden discovery of 30 uncounted ballots.
If that is true, then the razor-thin victory by apparent winner Guadalupe Ayala over manuel Flores Jr. of 864 to 860 may be in question.
Ayala's supporters say they will go to the County's Election Commission to have them discard the votes or have them make a decision on whether to accept them. 
So far, no one can tell us how it was that 30 votes came from or how they came to be overseen in the final count.

I don't understand...just what is it that is so hard to count the ballots?? If you have a list of 1000 people voting, than there should be 1000 votes in the voting box. Now they need to count how many qualified votes came in and how many will not qualify. Still, in the end there should be 1000 ballots. Am I wrong? How can 30 or 60 ballots all of a sudden show up??? Not here in Cameron County.

The presumed loser, Manuel Flores, Jr., came up the greenback bliss for Chris Davis and -- voila! -- thirty extra votes. Of course, the ballots won't ALL go for Flores: just enough to match the four by which Flores formerly lost to Ayala plus a half a dozen extra.

Chris Davis, what a sly and sneaky guy.

Let's not forget that in a party primary, the Democratic party chooses the election workers. Demo corruption continues.
