That's a great question. A lot of it is genuine, unintentional human error, while everyone wants to blow any mistake out of proportion, mixed with the only time a state-wide race has gone to a recount in like...a decade or 2, but instead we got THREE races going to recount. It's a perfect storm of insanity.

I can give you more specifics if you have any specific questions, though.

Terrible terrible idea. Paper ballots are the only way to legitimately know with absolute certainty that a vote has been cast. We have redundant safeguards to make sure no paper ballot has been filled out unless it's absolutely supposed to be. Paper trails all the way.

Is it true there's a highshcool-esque hierarchy with the employees behind the scenes? Like the people who dress as characters act too important to associate with servers etc?

That question is very good. I, unfortunately, do not have an absolute answer to that. If I were to speculate, it's because it's difficult for constituents to remove an SOE from office, and that most people like DWS in this district (can't tell you why). So the people that were most upset about it were too small in number with too little power to do anything about it.

Well things that I don't know enough information about and things that Im absolutely against *cough2016augustprimaryDWSfuckerycough*

edit: What I mean was what /u/PoliticalScienceGrad posted about the Debbie Wasserman Schultz 2016 primary election. I can't speak to that. I know the same amount of information as y'all, and yes, I think it's pretty suspicious.
