Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Election day vote tampering and what you can do about it.

I no longer need to get out of bed at 4:30 AM on Election Day to get the voting booths set up and not get back to bed until 2:00 AM the next day.

It takes a lot of effort and training by volunteers working extraordinarily long days to allow Americans to exercise their right to vote.

The thought that some dude in St. Petersburg Russia can alter elections electronically is infuriating.

In Chester County, PA we use voter marked and machine scanned tabulation. About the most secure vote tabulation used in the United States. A print out of the results that looks like a receipt from a store is posted at the polling places where it can be read from the outside. It might be a good idea to photograph that print out with your phone.

If an election result in Chester County is in dispute the original voter marked paper ballots can be hand counted.
