Hearings Underway in Cherokee Election Debacle; Two Breaches of Vault, No Video Record

UPDATE 3: There will be NO revote, as the justices got to see the video and this  recount will be done at ONE sitting, no breaks.

Updates as we get them!  Tahlequah Daily Press is updating.

UPDATE 1: Vault was entered twice by member of the independent contractor handling election at Cherokee Nation. Entered to retrieve readouts for mail-in absentees, and for early voting ballots. Boxes containing ballots remain sealed

THE QUESTION WASN'T NOT TO HAVE A RECALL, BY ALL MEANS THERE SHOULD BE ONE. BUT AS I STATED IN THE PREVIOUS POST, THE FIX WAS ALREADY IN PLACE IF SMITH LOST THE ELECTION. HE OBVIOUSLY PUT HIS "PLAN B" INTO PLAY WHICH WITH SOME "SKUNK" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ELECTION PROCESS TO MODIFY THE RESULTS BEFORE THEY WERE SEALED. THEN THERE WAS A BREACH, "TWICE" AND NO "VIDEO?" THERE IS NO END TO THEIR "SKULLDUGGERY," AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE NEVER ENDING BATTLE TO FIX WHAT IS "BROKEN" IN INDIAN COUNTRY. WITH ALL THE CORRUPTION THAT ABOUNDS, BAKER WILL BE DOOMED. YOU HIDE AND WATCH AS THIS UNFOLDS.
