Movies: Michigan State Board of Election Canvassers Meting to Certify the 2008 General Election
Chris Thomas, Director of the Michigan Bureau of Elections, and Joyce Watts, Allegan County Clerk blame the election workers for mistakes that resulted in over half the precincts in Allegan county not being able to be counted. Pat Foster gives testimony regarding Lee Township, one of the uncountable precincts that was observed by two Green election challengers and Det. Doan of the Michigan State Police who observed the workers reconcile the ballots to the poll book twice. If everything was done correctly by the election workers, then Joyce Watts, the county clerk was the next person to control those ballots. The finger points directly at her and if we had a legitimate government, she would be investigated.
