Election Judge Problems
Plagued the 2016 Baltimore City Primary
When the election results were decertified it highlighted multiple areas of failure.
Question #1
Did Election Judges working in the 2016 Baltimore City Primary
perform their jobs correctly?
Answer
IF THE JUDGES DID THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY THERE WOULD BE
NO DISCREPANCIES
IN THE VOTE COUNTS
but 286 of 296 PRECINCTS HAD DISCREPANCIES!
# of voters checked in SHOULD = # of Voter Authority Cards issued SHOULD = # of ballots cast
BUT THOSE COUNTS WEREN'T EQUAL IN MOST PRECINCTS
