Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes.
Exerpted::
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.
Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.
The Secretary of State's Office said Friday it could not revise Bush's total until the county reported the error.
Yes, and considering Ohio's officials are so fucking committed to fairness, that's certainly likely to happen soon. And it goes on...
In one North Carolina county, more than 4,500 votes were lost because officials mistakenly believed a computer that stored ballots electronically could hold more data than it did. And in San Francisco, a malfunction with custom voting software could delay efforts to declare the winners of four races for county supervisor.
In the Ohio precinct in question, the votes are recorded onto a cartridge. On one of the three machines at that precinct, a malfunction occurred in the recording process, Damschroder said. He could not explain how the malfunction occurred.
The corruption in this country makes me sick. The bigotry this country approves of makes me sick. I've never been a particularly political person, but this is a wake up call for me. I need to get involved.
