COULD RE MUCH BETTER

l^ast Tuesday evening and into the n ght. millions of peop e stayed close to the TV sets and radios where ncce.saiy to get the e.ection news and views but often only got contuse. Certainly everyone is anx ous to know tiie election returns and the news media tries to get this to you as quickly as passible. But this might just bi where the trouble lies .n re porting the election results. Normally the vote between t>le two or more candidates seeking one office is not so dose that slight error in reporting or the quick tabuiat on b* the news media, matters. But this was not the case in Indiana last week as not only the very important senate race was nip and tuck all the way. but so were many of the state and other races So close in fact that first declarations of v.etory were made by one or both before actually either one could be sure. Maybe it is time to change al! of this and let the votes be counted and tabulated officially before one party or the other can assume or is assumed a winner on incomplete returns. In Indiana for some unknown to th s party reason, still several precincts were not heard

NOVEMBER 12. 1970

irom until Thursday or Friday This i- unexcusable and it just so h.ipp ned that one or more races itu illy hinged on the late ip> ting pneimts and the very si w absentee ballots. Certain y on a county basis, t shouldn’t be that hard to count and tabulate votes. Thi precincts are basically not too large to add a lot of time and effort and the majority of the state votes are tabulated on voting machines where it boils down to taking totals from the machines. It is true that in the areas where paper ballots are used more time is needed, and yet paper ballots could be simplified enough to make it easy to count votes or see if improper ballots have been cast. Maybe somet me, somehow, in this very intelligent country of ours someone could impll ment a little more order in doing this job and possible set as de a certain timb after the polls dore to closely tabulate the results rather than trying to be at the head of the rat race to see just how quick, putting more emphasis on speed rather than accuracy, this can. be done Then such confusion as last week’s can be avoided and true, clear cut decisions can accurate!j’ be made.

October 24, to Nov. 22 — The Scorpionic person, charged with enthusiasm, is deep .in his feelings, passionately and devotedly attrached to the person or cause that is his. but just as passionately unchanging in detesting what is disliked Such strength of feeling can drive him to extremes of behavior. The drive and depth of passion endure through true feelings are often kept secret, hidden behind protective armor. Scorpio's scope, which may produce ether devoted work or great destruction, extends to topaz, its birthstone, and th" red chrysanthemum its flower. With high motivation there's no need to be skeptical about Scorpionics They generally know the score!
