So according to the Telegram and Gazette Juan Gomez, who lost to Khrystian King by 77 votes for the final spot on the City Council, is petitioning for a hand recount. Ya got that? He’s pulling a Dicky Rushton. He didn’t lose by 5-10 votes. He lost by 77. Game over. If a 77 vote margin is somehow overturned in a recount then I’ve lost complete faith in democracy. But according to him,

“We are confident that once this whole mess is resolved, either I will be certified as the winner or there will be an entire new election altogether.”

Wait….what?? We’re doing this all over again? Is this guy high? First of all, this guy is like a caricature. I can’t tell if he’s trying to be taken seriously or if he’s just here for comic relief. Sorry, but his outfits of choice just scream, “I’m just here to spice things up a bit”:

And his sign has to be some kind of joke right?

IMG_20150903_090018280-600x337

Is he trying to be the guy on top of the pizza box? Together we will? What does that even mean? Together we will what? This is the best slogan this guy could come up with?

He’s claiming there’s some sort of irregularities in the ballots and that he’s having a press conference about it on Friday. The bottom line is that the way this hand recount is gonna be conducted is a huge joke. There’s gonna be a million people in a room at City Hall going through ballot by ballot, making tally marks for all 12 candidates who ran. What can POSSIBLY go wrong with that?

What planet am I living on where this is how we do a recount in 2015? Hey, here’s an idea – run them through the machines again. Best out of five wins. No, who would want to use a machine when we can use human beings making tally marks. Because human beings never make mistakes while counting 20,000 ballots.

Everyone in America has done the tally thing while counting before. You draw four vertical lines and then the fifth line is a slash that goes through the other four. And EVERYONE while doing this has at some point asked themselves, “did I make a tally for this one yet?” It’s what makes us human. Now imagine doing it thousands of times. It’s a popsicle headache. The fact that we’re doing this in 2015 to certify an election is insane. Imagine hundreds of sheets like this:

Sounds legit.

Here’s another thing – why are they counting all 12 candidates. This is two guys fighting for one spot. By forcing the counters to tally Petty, Gaffney, Bill Coleman and the rest, you’re only increasing the chances for human error, which seems to be Juan’s whole plan – make the City Council by banking on human error.

And what happens if Juan Gomez wins a recount by five votes? Then what? We’re just gonna take that final hand count as sacred? We trust a bunch of human beings over the machines? Because any statistician would laugh at the authenticity of those results. The standard deviation in a hand recount is problem in the hundreds.

And if Gomez does win the recount, does King get to have a recount of the recount? This whole thing is insane.

The best part is that this is gonna take a month to decide now and it’s gonna cost the city thousands of dollars to hire counters and lawyers. Oh yea, and Juan Gomez champions himself as a guy who wants to cut down on taxes. And that makes PERFECT sense.

Hey Juan, you lost bro. Khrystian King ran a superior campaign and he got elected. Take your hat and your bow tie and go home.

    This is a man who fought to get a Heritage Academy Charter School in Worcester, The school teaches that dinosaurs never existed and that creationism is the truth! I cannot believe he even came within 77 votes. What are the people of Worcester thinking?

      Why would you seek to limit Mr. Gomez’s right to democratic due process with such a requirement? Oh, right. “Turtleboy: Fighting For the Whites!”

          Don’t let that stand in the way of Jeff’s overwhelming white guilt.

    “Take your hat and your bow tie, and go home” I have to be honest, that line made me laugh my ass off.

    He really does look like a guy that should be on the front of a DiGiorno box or something. That is his true calling, forget this City Council crap.

    God forbid he does the classy thing and congratulate King on his victory.

    Only one man has the integrity to preside over a recount. That man, a man who stands out among millions, who keeps his solemn word to retain his post only on an interim basis, a man who so loves his city he lives miles away in a swank suburb to make room for others, a man who needs no fancy degrees or even a modicum of intelligence to run the second largest city in New England, yes that man is Edward Augustus, emperor of Wormtown.

    Just wait until Sarai Rivera starts using this archaic and fundamentally corrupt method when she runs for Mayor. If she loses, and the hand recount doesn’t magically overturn the machine (on behalf of The Machine) it’s racism. Mark my words. Or you can ask President Gore for his opinion on hand recounts……

    This is the sorry state of “democracy” in this sorry ass city.

    I can hear the recount now- “This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home.”
