Green votes don’t count in Connecticut
Sunday, November 16th, 2008Via Perry County Greens:
Green Party of Connecticut officials will file a complaint with local and state election boards that “REGISTERED†WRITE IN votes were not counted in all towns across the state as required by state law, it was announced today. This decision was reached after state Greens checked their own town votes totals showing no registered write in votes for the Green Party candidate for President, Cynthia McKinney and after receiving numerous complaints that town polling places had no list of registered write in lists, were reluctant to show any list, and some local voters were told their write in votes would not count.
So, not only do alternative parties have a hard time getting on the ballot, when they do get votes, they don’t count. Gotcha.
Hat tip: IPR.
