I
missed all the excitement in the Iowa primary!  No, not the
O’Brien upset of the annointed Dusk Terry, or the ousting of State
Senator Tinsman, or the triumph of the unqualifed candidate for
Secretary of State on the Republican ticket.

I’m
talking about how Pottawattamie County is now a poster child for
election integrity activists for what they did wrong and for what they
did right when they realized the error.

They
went wrong when they didn’t adequately test the voting machines before
the election.  But they realized the problem as votes began to be
counted Tuesday night and they grabbed the bull by its horns, wrestling
it to the ground for a good ol’ rodeo victory over the voting
machines—they counted the ballots by hand!

They
knew something was wrong when the machine counting the ballots
claimed that an unknown college student was ousting an long time
incumbent county recorder.

Here’s a complete version of the story from John Gideon of Voter’s Unite.

We’ll be hearing more about this.
