Next Tuesday, three citizens who filed public document requests will be getting the ballots from Sheridan County in the Trauner-Cubin US House race -- which Cubin, somewhat incredibly, supposedly won by abt 700 votes. They will count them under the supervision of trained election judges with the goal being, as they say, not to overturn the election, but to check the accuracy of the new voting counting equipment.

Trauner chose not to ask for a recount -- paid for out of his pocket -- after learning the state would simply resubmit the ballots to the machines.

I'm looking forward to the citizen recount results.
