“...more than 3,600 in St. Lucie were counted twice, while 1,953 were not scanned at all.”
And in how many other districts in the USA did this happen?

Yep. With the big "drop" in Republican turnout that surprised even Romney's staffers, really makes you wonder...
Would you guess these are the paper ballots that are scanned and tabulated by optical readers? It was discussed how the length of the Florida ballot slowed voting down.
Interesting no one seems to have thought to put a barcoded serial number on the ballot so it couldn’t be run through twice. This would certainly explain how an entire ward in Ohio could have 100% turnout that all voted for Obama. If this did happen, it would be easy to spot in the data. Things like under votes, straight Dem tickets, no split tickets, timestamps when ballots were scanned.
Wonder if you can petition and get a copy of the actual database? Of course, there’s been plenty of time to fix the data at this point.
We’ve gone from divining intent from hanging chads to a database system a high school freshman can manipulate.
