DOTC: Human Error Part Of Life

RE: 24 ineligible voters cast ballots in city elections Nov. 8 /HucksOnline

Dan of the Community: From recent painful experience, I can certainly empathize with the fact that their absentee ballot requests didn’t match the number of absentee ballots that were counted and that after counting and recounting they couldn’t find why the number was different. They just had to leave it with the statement, “The Elections staff has no further action to resolve this variance.” I also understand from years of experience that despite the fact that you do training before each and every election, poll workers will still make honest mistakes. In fact, with dozens of precincts, hundreds of poll workers, and thousands and thousands of ballots cast, it is unrealistic to think you won’t have at least some errors in every election. But you work very hard to minimize those errors.

Question: Why do you think this story has been ignored by the local conspiracy theorists?
