       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Jerry Mosna, of San Pedro, california, discovers 83 absentee ballots mistakenly delivered to his address.  The secret (Australian) ballots (with different names) had ALL been addressed to his neighbor, who lives in a two-bedroom apartment.

       Postscript: Neither the Los Angeles statute enforcement Department or the U.s. Post Office was willing to investigate this egregious case of electoral fraud.  The Los Angeles Registrar’s Office attributed the incident to a “clerical error.”
