Addendums and corrections

That sounded pretty damned official, didn't it! Got your attention? Yup .. thought so.

Just wanted to perhaps correct a possible misstatement below.

The ballots mentioned are STILL SEALED. Not this thing of hanging chads or anything. For one reason or another, these ballots were simply misplaced - or missed. I dunno why - but having been intimately connected with the ballot counting here in my county, I know that it's people running these elections.

Just people. You know, folks, we all make mistakes. I make 'em daily. Do you? Probably. My mistakes usually don't result in anything important, although it's exceedingly possible that someday one of my mistakes will result in something important indeed. Like making a wrong turn onto a one-way street. THAT can be a big mistake that could possibly ultimately result in the death of a fellow person.

Doctors make mistakes. Lawyers - the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. McDonald's employees. Presidents. Note a common theme here?

MISTAKES.

Past elections have had mistakes in them. I know, it's a shock. Most of you didn't realize that.

I find it interesting that in this particular election it just may make a difference - the mistake some of those elections workers made might make a difference in who is finally declared the final winner. This is also a very unusual election. Most gubernatorial races do NOT come out within literally a few votes. Possibly less than 20. Less than 10? Maybe so.

Mistakes didn't make the difference in the election.

YOU DID.

So ..

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND VOTE NEXT TIME!
