20. Random Selection
It is important to understand that legally, we are witnesses. We have no power to demand or insist on thing. All we can do is object, and log our objections.
So we objected to the non random selection and they said "We disagree" if a nice BoE and "F--- Y--" if not so nice. Some BoEs just presented a single precinct. Most had preselected say 6 precincts and then voted on the final ones to use, still not randow. We had one county in the state actually put slips of paper in a can and pull them out, and that is random. Se K Olbermans blog for my take on this.

In relatively clean BoEs we will probally let the preselection stand. In not so clean BoEs the affidavits are being sworn out on this and other matters. We simply do not have the resources to take all the BoEs to the mat. There are 88 of them

Remember that we Greens are bucks down, can do, with minimal resources. If you think you care, donate. We are not getting funds from anywhere else. Money does make it happen. <Advertising pitch OFF>
