No worries, say New Hampshire officials when cuts up to eight inches long are spotted in newly delivered ballot boxes. “The only seal that counts is the one on top.”
However, Blackboxvoting.org who is trying to oversee the recount process says that the seal on top of the ballot box can be detached and re-affixed without leaving a trace.
Under the leadership of Bev Harris and Blackboxvoting.org they have been doing a chain of custody exam for the New Hampshire Primary’s recount.
According to Blackboxvoting.org, “On Wednesday night, Election Defense Alliance’s Sally Castleman mentioned a troubling observation: After following the ballots back to the ballot vault following Wednesday’s recount, she had the opportunity to enter the ballot vault, and noticed what looked like cuts, or slits, in the side of many ballot boxes. New Hampshire officials assured us that these cuts, which slice through the tape and seals do not permit access to the uncounted ballots, pointing to a label on the box-top which they call a seal.
But the “seal” can be removed, like a Post-it, and re-affixed. So it’s not a seal all!”
They have confirmed that most of the ballot boxes that came back for counting had slits in them. They videotaped and observed that as the boxes were picked up in a van that there were no slits.
Somewhere between the picking up of the boxes and the counting at the “vault” these boxes are being tampered with.
Stay tuned for updates as they come in. Are you scratching your head yet?
