these asses never give up
These people just won't stop until they attempt everything they can to steal the election!
This error was noted earlier today on FR. The poster was advised to contact the Ohio authorities to correct the error. I suspect that someone from FR was "one of the people who called".
We are for the truth, not for error. That's what makes us different!
So what are the ramifications of this, if anything?
They are counting the provisionals, if they can verify them... and the military ballots will be counted next week I think
Even if this is an isolated incident, and there aren't enough similar machines to give Kerry the victory, I still want us to get rid of E-Voting. Now. Every vote should produce a paper ballot. Period.
Not much. Things like this are not uncommon, and are detected during the official canvass. Since there are small errors that will favor both sides, they tend to cancel each other out.
I'll bet they are looking for an additional 40 more machines that did the same thing. I'm sure Soros and company can find a way to provide these machines.
The RATS on the DU site are complaining that the election was stolen because these computer voting machines. This will add fuel to their fire. I hope that we don't move to technology that isn't proven. That would be a mess.
I wouldn't mind if they looked at more machines... Franklin County went for Kerry by a margin of 55% to 45%
In 2000, Franklin went to Gore over Bush by 1%
In 2000, they did not use E-Voting...
Probably why you won't hear anymore about this issue...
Voters at my poll were given the choice to use the paper ballot or electronic. The vast majority chose paper. Much simpler. I chose paper. All it took was a pencil and drawing a line to connect the dots.
That takes care of the first 3,893 votes, just 3.5 million to go and the election will be Kerry's, I am starting to sweat already.
The press will play this up, but the numbers won't change much, not with 130,000 vote lead.
After 6 weeks of squinting at chads, how far did Algore move his numbers, about 4 hundred votes.
Kerry's 10,000 lawyers know there's no trail to chase on this one, but that won't keep the press from reporting every computer issue. Back in 2000 this happened, and when the votes were being certified, Gore would pick up votes in one county, while Bush would pick up votes in another.
Hanging chads, and computer errors, don't only swing one way, but the press will never report the numbers that swing toward Bush.
This one was an obvious mistake..I am glad they corrected it..
Now lets see if there are any more discoverd and corrected in our favor...We do have people up to keep it honest.
Kerry took Franklin County by over 44,000 votes this year...

"In the 2000 election, Democrat Al Gore carried Franklin County with 48.8 percent of the vote, to George W. Bush's 47.8 percent. Gore's 4,156-vote victory margin was a slim 1 percent of the 414,074 total votes cast for president in Franklin County.
But Bush carried Ohio's 21 electoral votes on his way to being elected president by winning 50 percent of the statewide total, to Gore's 46.5 percent. "
Lets see, by the time the Dems track down and check out every reason they "wuz robbed" it should be about...oh... 2008.
