From the e-mail from Stephen “In the absence of challenges, the results would stand and be duely “certified” when recorded by the Recording Secretary upon announcement from the dais during the DCDSC meeting. Further, whenever there were no challenges, there was no reason to keep ballots. In fact, usually the only materials kept were the voting rolls because the books had to be returned to BOEE.

As you all know, the results were announced and accepted by the DCDSC body and duely recorded by MR. Collins. There were no challenges and the results stood. I did go to Anita in the middle of the hubbub with the box and ask her what to do with it. Upon reflection, I can say I did not make myself entirely clear to her that the box contained ballots because I asked said “what do I do with these?” It is entirely reasonable that she thought I was talking only about the box and shrugged as if “whatever”. ”

I just don’t get it.
