What is your basis for claiming her lawyer agreed to it? You should self-delete. onenote Jan 2018 #5

Are you the post- police? Drahthaardogs Jan 2018 #6

No, I'm not the post-police. But its odd that you wont delete a post that falsely slams Democrats. onenote Jan 2018 #7

You don't see it as a slam to falsely accuse the Democratic candidate's lawyers onenote Jan 2018 #30

No, not a slam RandomAccess Jan 2018 #40

First of all, Drahthaardogs Jan 2018 #27

I"m not insinuating anything. I just wonder why you're standing by a false statement about onenote Jan 2018 #29

Maybe you don't understand an over vote Drahthaardogs Jan 2018 #31

It was thrown out. And her lawyers argued that was the right decision. onenote Jan 2018 #32

Are you one of her lawyers? Drahthaardogs Jan 2018 #33

No. Just someone offended by a false attack on those lawyers. onenote Jan 2018 #34

See AL Franken Drahthaardogs Jan 2018 #36

are you posting in the wrong thread? onenote Jan 2018 #38

You are a self purported crusader against false statements made about Drahthaardogs Jan 2018 #39

You are not merely disparaging the lawyers, you're lying about them. onenote Jan 2018 #42

Disagree - The fact that there are weird cross marks for the Republican Governor choice makes it stevenleser Jan 2018 #11

Had they attempted to vote for anyone else in the guv race.... RhodeIslandOne Jan 2018 #13

In this case the voter should have made it more clear. I recall seeing a photo of a ballot like this stevenleser Jan 2018 #15

But why? The voter also put lines through the vote for Gillespie. Did that not count? pnwmom Jan 2018 #16

But they didnt shade in anyone else either RhodeIslandOne Jan 2018 #19

That's possible. It's also possible that the single line drawn through the Democrats pnwmom Jan 2018 #21

Depends on how you define "Vote for only one." L. Coyote Jan 2018 #14

A computer would have automatically tossed that as an overvote. pnwmom Jan 2018 #22

I think when voter intent is absolutely clear the ballot should count. Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2018 #47
