And Now I Know

I have often wondered how in the world certain elections could have possibly turned out the way they had been reported. I now know. Read the following paragraph and do the math. I'm willing to bet the board of elections in this case is controlled by the Democrats.

"About 2,200 people had voted in the county by mid-day yesterday since the start of early voting. Slightly more than half the voters were Democrats, with Republicans making up 36 percent and unaffiliated voters making up another 15 percent, a board of elections official said."

This statement was given in the aftermath of the email that was sent out from the Winston-Salem State University's Student Affairs Office encouraging students to vote early and vote Democratic. Reminds me of the Chicago admonition to "Vote Early....Vote Often!"

So according to this Board of Elections Official over 50% of the voters are Democrats, 36% are Republican and 15% are unaffiliated bringing us to just over 101%. This makes me think of the old joke,"What are the 3 worst years of a North Carolina boy's life? ..... The 4th grade!" badump bump! Clearly the Forsyth County election board had a long 3 years.

But it is this type of math that allows Minnesota Senator Al Franken to lose the election on election day, but after 3 months of recounting and "discovering" votes, to eventually win! I seem to recall the very same thing happening in the Washington State gubernatorial election a few years ago also.

Funny how this revisionist math always seems to favor the Democrats.

As I believe the line from Alice in Wonderland goes ....... Curiouser and curiouser.
