Vote Tally Error Adds to Maffei’s Lead in Congressional Race

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Dave Bullard

A clerk’s election night typo in Cayuga County was fixed Wednesday, giving Democrat Dan Maffei an extra 2,000 vote margin in his bid to return to Congress.

Cayuga County Elections Commissioner Kate Lacey said a clerk mistyped the amount of votes cast for Republican incumbent Ann Marie Buerkle in the town of Brutus. Fixing the error and cleaning up a few other minor math issues resulted in a swing of 1,997 votes in Maffei’s direction, giving him an almost-unbeatable hold on the election.

Demand a recount and shine some light on the Rats.

They count on the GOP going away after a “close” election.

Ten or Twelve thousand votes is not close. This race was never close.

“Ten or Twelve thousand votes is not close. This race was never close.”

Democrat Maffei was up 2,000 votes and Buerkle refused to concede until the 14,000 absentee ballots had been counted.

Suddenly, errors were “found” and 2,000 votes were taken away from Buerkle and given to Maffei. Despite Maffei self-declaring himself the winner, Buerkle has refused to concede until absentee votes are counted.

Now, the Democrat is up 10 to 12 thousand votes and he has the national press declaring him the winner without the benefit of counting 14,000 absentee ballots. Why shouldn’t all votes be counted before a winner is declared?

Here I thought I wss living in an age of such technological acheivement that something as simple as counting votes would be a non-issue. I guess we have to wait another 50 years for the ability to do addition???
