Pottawattamie Paper Trail Saves The Day
I missed all the excitement in the Iowa primary! No, not the O’Brien upset of the annointed Dusk Terry, or the ousting of State Senator Tinsman, or the triumph of the unqualifed candidate for Secretary of State on the Republican ticket.
I’m talking about how Pottawattamie County is now a poster child for election integrity activists for what they did wrong and for what they did right when they realized the error.
They went wrong when they didn’t adequately test the voting machines before the election. But they realized the problem as votes began to be counted Tuesday night and they grabbed the bull by its horns, wrestling it to the ground for a good ol’ rodeo victory over the voting machines—they counted the ballots by hand!
They knew something was wrong when the machine counting the ballots claimed that an unknown college student was ousting an long time incumbent county recorder.
