No. None of this is my handwriting. I would imagine that it may beL..l __ ----'~ut it's
certainly not mine.
Okay. There's um ... a fair number of documents withL..1 ___..... twritten like this.
Mmm.
Not you?
Nope.
Okay. I'm missing one document. It'll come to me in a second. Who was responsible
for keeping ... well, I'm understanding it was called the days card and log with all the
different. ..
I .. all right. Is it your understanding that at the end of each day ... all the
different. .. and I'm showing you number twelve here ... which says days card and log on
top ... that she would put all the um ... registrations that have been gathered indicated how
many of employees .. .ie number ofbatches ... how many total cards there were ... and what
day there was?
Yep.
Okay. For each um ... uh ... employee who submitted a batch of cards ... here ya go ... they
have to fill out what's shown in number nine ... the worker batch sheet like this.
Yes.
Explain sort of your understanding of how this sheet works and what it's supposed to do.
Well, when they came back in ... when they left ... with the cards ... they had to first fill
this out.
Ah, okay.
So they're checking the cards out. And the understanding was that you do not come
back without all of the cards. And those occasions where people were mugged and cards
were taken from them ... those occasions where people took the card and tore it up and
threw it in the trash ... those were of great concern to us.
Why would someone mug someone for voter registrations?
