The election numbers have radically changed in Monroe County since the May 18th election. At least as reported on the SoS website, and as confirmed by local officials.
It's not all that unusual for the unofficial numbers to move a bit following election day, as absentee and provisional ballots are counted and added in to the totals, and as precinct numbers are double-checked for accuracy in the post-election canvass. It is, however, unusual, for vote totals to get a great deal smaller rather than larger in the days following the election. And that's what seems to have happened in Monroe County --- radically so.
Somehow, more than a thousand votes disappeared entirely, as the election results in the Dem and GOP Senate primaries have almost entirely changed.

(32,139 posts)Many of us are sick to death of the relentless cult of personality over principle, the constant hectoring to mindlessly defend monied, corrupt politicians instead of uniting to demand an end to their malignant corporate policies that are devastating this country and driving millions into poverty and despair. We are sick of the shadowy monied interests that have infiltrated not just the Republican Party, but also our own party through groups like the DLC and now the Third Way, pretending to espouse Democratic goals and values, but in the shadows funded by corporate billionaires and working actively to advance their agenda.
This is an important post, and the resolve to unite in our anger must apply no matter where, no matter in which party, the corruption, personality politics, and shadowy forces hijacking government away from the will of the people are found.
