<p>Okay, tell me if this could be cheating. (I'm running for president by the way). This happened today (the day of voting) -If I see another candidate for president upstairs at lunch time when nobody is up there with them with a bunch of ballots in there hand? And then later in Math class they are like "Were you one of the people that were correcting the ballots (and she used some fancy words for when people vote for more than one person so that the vote doesn't count and they can get all the votes). "I know you cheated, I saw you." And then "Just kidding." Are candidates supposed to have access to about 50 ballots in their hand at lunched time? To me it seemed a little bit suspicous and what raised my suspicion even more were those little comments to me. Am I freaking out for nothing? I plan on asking the teacher if candidates are supposed to be having all of those ballots or even correcting votes or something to find out if they were likely cheating or not. IF she wins I know that most likely she cheated because 1.) what I saw 2.) what she said 3.) she probably wouldn't win because there was some tough competition.</p>
<p>One more thing, if she DOes indeed win, should I tell the teacher about my suspicions?</p>
<p>The 2000 election came down to a few hundred votes in Florida. Bush was declared the winner, but there was the distinct possibility that votes had been tampered, and the Supreme Court stopped the recounts before they could be finished. That's why Kaznack said what he said--the 'virus' representing the voter tampering, etc.</p>
<p>He's making a joke about the 2000 presidential election issue with the messed-up ballots. A bad joke, I might add. :)</p>
<p>I faked a bunch of ballots so this loser guy would win class representative. He was really nice and awkward, and I knew he'd do a good job, but our stupid class only voted for the cool kid, so I helped him out. It was a minor position (not like a full school election or anything) and he was really happy, so I feel it was worth the reprecussions (read: no one found out :))</p>
<p>haha, no the school never found out. It was just a classroom election. Seriously, the teacher was like, tear strips of paper out of your notebooks and write your vote on them. So I tore 10 strips out and wrote the same guys name on them. Somehow the teacher didn't notice that there were 30 people in the class and 40 slips of paper :) Anyway, the position was a non-power post, just the person who goes to meetings and recieves information about our program (science and technology) to pass out to the class. It didn't really harm anyone, and it's a pretty funny story.</p>
