Hummm....If It Quacks Like A Duck - Could It Be A Duck?

Frankly, I don't think Francine Busby beat Brian Bilbray in the CA-50 special election, but the behavior of the County Registrar of Voters is pretty suspicious.

On June 6, 2006, we went to our polling places and filled out the appropriate spaces on our paper ballots, and fed those ballots into the optical scanners. However, it is my belief that none of us actually cast legal votes. Instead, we all engaged in an exercise which looked like voting, and felt like voting, but was not, in fact, and as a matter of law, actual voting.

The reason is this: before our optical scanners and touch screen machines arrived at the polls, they had been technically decertified by the removal, days and weeks before, of these machines from the safekeeping of the Registrar of Voters. They went into homes, garages and cars, and stayed there until the morning of the election. These security breaches rendered them decertified by Federal and State standards.

Is the CA-50 such a plumb that Republicans would steal the election? Tough question.
