Collateral Damage, Or Are They ?

Ms. Verline Mayo poll supervisor at precint 27-1, and Ms. Vatricia Mckinney poll worker at same location. These two ladies are at the center of the voter fraud scandal, in district 29 state senate race. Ms. Mayo is the supervisor at the precint location, where some of the infractions took place. Ms. Mckinney is saying that she infomed Ms. Mayo ahead of time. That she would be unable to work that day. Ms. Mayo is saying she was unaware of the fact, that Ms. Mckinney wasn't supposed to be there. Until the poll opened that day, and Ms. Mckinney's sister(Ms. Mary McClatcher) showed up to work. In both cases they both commited violations. One doesn't excuse the other. Unfortunately when the dust clears everyone ought to be in trouble.

As I stated earlier, I think Ms. Mckinney was doing business as usual. Circumstances put the spotlight on unwritten policy. It's just understood that everybody does it, all the time. She just picked the wrong time. Not because she didn't come to work that day. Or she sent her sister in her place. She violated when she cashed the check. She was double dipping at that. She was on a taxpayer funded, public housing resident official leadership retreat. At the time she was absent from poll. All that crying doesn't hide the fact, that you were milking the system. I bet she's probably somebody's cousin.

Ms. Verline Mayo made comments today, after repeatedly refusing to have anything to say.There wasn't really much she could say though. That would help or salvage her position. Anything she says is going to be wrong. Once you've obviously screwed up. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. All you can do is ride the storm out. See what's going to happen in the end. Something she said, it made me wonder though. If she could be part, of a bigger picture. It's possible someone got to her. I mean what can they really do to her ? To suggest we need another election, because you didn't do your job. That's awfully big of her. I liked it better when she remained quiet.

Regardless of their involvement, it wasn't their idea. I'm not even sure they know what has really happened. This raises questions, pertaining to all the elections in the past. It cast doubt on those yet to take place. Nobody has misplaced or miscounted thousands of votes. Those people now have challenges too. Foolish though they may be, we have to entertain them also. Even people that lost by landslides, have legitimate cases now. What's in question here, is the integrity of the process. Based on the present political enviroment, if you keep digging. There's no telling who, or what it might uncover.
