Jennifer Call (Call for her suspension and investigation)

[PatriotOne]

I have sent an email to William Gardner, New Hampshire Secretary of State, requesting that Jennifer Call be suspended and investigated for her actions. Here is my email to him.

I urge others to do the same in a "rational" manner.

Dear Mr. Gardner,

I am writing to request that Jennifer Call, Town Clerk for the City of Sutton, N.H. be immediately suspended and investigated for her actions as Sutton's elected official for the New Hampshire primaries. At best, her actions were gross incompetence, at worst, her actions were intentionally fraudulent. Either way, she has proven herself unfit to be in a position of responsibility of this magnitude. Her excuse of it just being a "simple mistake" is unacceptable.

Furthermore, as shown in this interview by Ray Duckler of the Concord Monitor, she also highlights her unfitness for the job. Instead of a plausible explanation for the "error" and an apology, she instead attempts to shift the focus of the problem by calling Ron Paul supporters "not rational" and attempts to garner sympathy as a victim.

As Secretary of State, I am sure you are aware that vote fraud has become a common problem in the U.S. We can no longer turn a blind eye and blame it on "simple errors". Each occurrence must be investigated fully and the circumstances surrounding this one is very suspect. Leaving off votes and writing down incorrect vote numbers on the tally sheet has been identified as a common fraudulent method. If caught, they can just claim "simple error".

I urge you to take action by immediately removing Jennifer Call from her duties before she can do further damage and perhaps compromise an investigation by altering records or intimidating witnesses and then I urge you to initiate an investigation into her actions. The United States election process can neither be overseen by incompetent, nor fraudulent individuals.

Thank you for your attention into this matter.

Are you a resident of NH? If not, you have no business asking them for anything.

..."or her actions as Sutton's elected official for"... should this be edited to "election official"?

Great letter. Thank you.

I disagree. Many people base their decision to support a candidate wholly or in part, rightfully or wrongly on the success of previous election results. This is part of the process. If the people of NH have no interest in conducting accurate vote counts they should hold their primaries last instead of first. This is an issue of nationwide significance.

Yes. Your right. Too late now.

You would be great at writing a letter to him. I've noticed your very good with words. I hope you take up the challenge. It would be a much better use of time than arguing with the "simple error" apoligists

Bumpin for proactive action.

my favorite line from the article:

"The problem is," Call said yesterday, "we don't use voting machines."

Do you live in NH? Because otherwise you have no business calling for an elected state official to be suspended.

Yeah he might not live in NH, but the letter stated due to INCOMPETANCE or FRAUD, which the rest of the country is interested in seeing this relates to a primary election for the President of the USA. So yes it is very really friggin relevant and a great letter!

It was a legitimate mistake. Please leave the woman alone.

Wow, you are an asshole, leave the lady alone, the problem was fixed by 9am the next morning. My mom is a town clerk back in Wisconsin, we'll probably have 300 votes cast at the next election. I'd pity the fool who pulled this shit on her because of a MINOR mistake that was CORRECTED right away the next morning. Seriously, you are an asshole and only hurt us.

 

[Dave Pedersen]

She needs to be brought before a grand jury. Voter fraud is treason. If nothing else others will be more careful. This lady has a very bad attitude toward her responsibility. A very bad attitude we the people can NOT afford to forget or EVER overlook. Without sound elections we have nothing but a pretense of the democratic process and that is even worse than outright dictatorship.

It may not be possible to prove intent but we must not simply "give her the benefit of the doubt".

This is not child's play. Many brave people have given their all for our form of government and elections, equitable and transparent are key to our heritage so dearly bought.

be sure to warn her to double check her math then.........0 votes for rp then it turned to 31 after, after the phone calls was made...... and i believe it was a bit later than 9 am......if no one would of raised hell,i bet those numbers would still be zero.....minor mistake.....i dont think so......during an election that is a major mistake.......

 

[gold standard]

This was a common tactic in the contested 2004 Presidential Election in the Philippines.

At the very least the woman is incompetent and she should be replaced. These people get paid for this and even if they didn't we shoud still expect competent individuals in positions of responsibility.

 

[Paulbot_9876]

The next day a Ron Paul supporter came forward claiming that both she and several of her family members had voted for Ron Paul in Sutton. Black Box Voting reports that after being asked about the discrepancy Sutton officials decided that Ron Paul actually received 31 votes in Sutton, but they were left off of the tally sheet due to 'human error.'"


i call bs on error.....

 

[dannno]

So does anybody have evidence of this so-called "human error" ??

Nice letter.

No one needed to "raise hell" in this instance. The people who voted for Paul contacted the town hall and that is what led to the correction. THEY were not upset that there was an error.

C'mon people, I am as concerned about voter fraud as the next person, but human error DOES EXIST TOO!

Maybe an investigation IS needed, but harassment of this woman is not the answer.

*shaking my head*
