I believe Ralph Nader had to spend millions of dollars just to get all his votes counted correctly (not a Nader supporter). Anyhow, this is something that should be done right without having to resort to the Courts. Maybe a law needs to be enforced to make the states, cities, and et cetra count the votes properly or face fines and charges. This gets to a point of ridiculous after awhile.

The Libertarian Party now has a candidate on the November ballot in Arizona's 7th Congressional District. We were able to point them to a specific precinct where we personally knew three votes had been cast, while the "official" results for the entire county had been only one vote for Cobb.

There was no such list posted in my precinct, and many others reported no such lists elsewhere. Hopefully this will all be resolved in a day or two.
