Per the article

The resolution simply requires the hand counting of physical paper ballots at the precinct level to ensure it matches the total reported by the tabulators. This does not involve a hand-count tabulation of the vote totals but rather simply the total number of physical ballots cast at that particular precinct.

So, because in Tennessee, a QR Code error created a mismatch between the number of physical ballots vs tabulated ones, and they found the same code error in 64 out of 66 counties in Georgia's tabulators, they are going to hand count the number of ballots to make sure it matches the number the tabulators counted. Especially, since they apparently found a bunch of additional ballots in some counties, as well...

I mean, this seems reasonable on the surface. But, considering the situation, it seems like it could all go really sideways.

Isn't there another way they could count just the number of paper ballots? Like, as they come in, instead of later on, by hand? I'm not sure of the way thier system / machines work, or of a way that would convince everyone of privacy, but...like a laser counter that counts every time its broken, or something...Idk, there just seems like there has to be a better way.

Edit: so really, objectively speaking, this is an issue. One that wouldnt be caught unless they ordered a hand recount after the fact. I mean, obviously, this isnt an objective source, but, unless theyre just straight up making this up (which I suppose is a possibility), how is not having every ballot counted OK? Isnt there a better suggestion than breaking the seal immediately, counting everything by hand, and inviting all the issues that come with that? Something that could even be presented to the court or something as an alternative, that everybody could agree with. At least people could say they tried to solve the issue another way. If it gets rejected, then it would be plainly obvious there were ulterior motives. At this point, it sounds as if theres some plausible deniability behind the reasoning for hand counting.

Thats a street urchin. Strangely, this blog post was one of the first links that came up. It ponders how the name street urchin came to be.

It says

Looking in the OED, I see two possibly relevant definitions. 1c. A goblin or elf. (From the supposition that they occasionally assumed the form of a hedgehog.)... There is also 4a. A pert, mischievous, or roguish youngster; a brat.

Edit: formatting is crazy

Are you actually referring to 1971?

Theres a link to the other article, in this article. Says Kristin Houser wrote it...although you may have a point about the rest.

I would think maybe Sour cream instead of Mayo. Make it more creamy and give it a bit of that acidity.

That happen to a person in our group in Australia, but with cocaine. We were waiting to collect our baggage before customs. The officers told them to put it in thier waistline and see if the dog would sniff it out. Pups was sucessful and got some pets. He didn't have a Kong tho.

Bet they use this case as reason to ban abortion pills instead.

Syphilis can hang out for something like 30 years. Maybe they were on a break, or he got infected before they got together.

Wow! Thank you for such a detailed answer. Even without some weird law, it's good information to have, and with a little elbow grease, it sounds completely doable. And if it keeps people from getting in trouble / protects privacy, I'm all for it!

I mean, drinking it (well tasting) used to be the legit way of testing it.

I find this interesting. Does one just install software and buy a domain? I would assume theres somewhere you have to register with in order to federate. I mean, if theres no one to go after, this would be a nice work around. At least, until theres a site for every Texan that figures it out.

I think semi public would be like setting your facebook profile to private. It shows your name, and basic details, but doesn't show all your posts or interactions.

Edit: haha, you kinda answered this somewhere else as I was typing.
