Comments on: Hooray – We Lost https://whynow.dumka.us/2012/11/12/hooray-we-lost/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:42:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2012/11/12/hooray-we-lost/comment-page-1/#comment-61091 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:42:58 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=27695#comment-61091 It is truly unbelievable that they printed the rosters before the end of the registration period. They had a month to do a merge-purge update and sort and then run the lists off, but they ran the job early and had to print out the change file. It’s just a total and obvious failure of management that people should lose their jobs over it. This is a COBOL 101 ISAM batch process that goes back almost a half-century to the era of punch cards and line printers.

It would definitely be a very good thing if the current Sheriff was ‘retired’ to the old bigots’ home.

Given that the problem was state-wide, there must be a state-wide service bureau involved in the process.

He’s been trumpeting how his narrow victory margin of victory (80,000 votes) proves he’s hot stuff or something, but with 250,000 provisional votes left to count — most from Hispanics who hate his guts — he might well be forced to leave office short of the grave. Of course, he will mysteriously “die of a heart attack” shortly thereafter (he knows too much and might throw important people under the bus if indicted for misdeeds once the new sheriff audits the office), but so it goes.
