Republicans' Election Riddled With Errors After Hand Counting Ballots
Republican efforts to hand count ballots in a seemingly low-profile Texas county primary election has led to a number of errors.
Gillespie County Republicans, led by Chairman Bruce Campbell, decided months ago to hand-count more than 8,000 ballots for the county GOP primary on March 5. Campbell then declared the results completely accurate and certified before, less than an hour after that certification, reversing course and saying discrepancies were found.
"It's my mistake for not catching that," Cambell said on Thursday while sitting inside the county election administration office. "I can't believe I did that."
The kerfuffle over ballot counting comes after a November rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump was solidified in primaries last week.
Chairman Bruce Campbell shouted "Hail to the king, baby!" before kicking over the entire container of 8000 ballots, forcing another recount because he suspected demonic influence on the election results.
Republicans' effort to count fails after they run out of fingers.
Klaatu barada nikto!
Groovy
Honey, you got real ugly
When asked if he counted the votes exactly he shrugged and said "look, maybe I didn't count every single little tiny ballot, but basically yeah, I counted them."
