Casting of the Lots Conducted in NorCo on Friday.

There were numerous tie-elections in November 2's general election. This was mostly for election judges and inspectors of elections races. These ties were broken Friday by a casting of the lots. You can see Jenna Gerbino shaking what appears to be a cow bell containing the numbers. Candidates who were tied could draw a number if they were present. In their absence, the number was drawn by Jenna.  

The casting of the lots was done publicly and was broadcast live on Youtube. 

My sole issue with this process is that the meeting should have been run by the Registrar, not Ass't County Solicitor Rich Santee. I appreciate his dedication and legal acumen. But he's there for advice, not to run things. He also is making himself a witness, which would disqualify him if there were legal proceedings.

    Did you ever attend a meeting of the "Elections Commission"? The solicitor runs the meetings. Where is Donald Trump when we need him?

    Santee should know the law but he doesn't. Another incompetent.

    There you are completely mistaken. Santee is very dedicated and knowledgeable. He is an excellent attorney. But he has to stop dominating meetings. He is there solely to provide advice.

    Richard Santee did not run the 'casting of lots'. The person in the purple shirt was a staff member of the elections office.... not Ricky.

    If that is so, I stand corrected. The voice sounded like Ricky.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
