Oh right. Ms. Call makes a major mistake and receives a lot of angry about her mistake. As for who made the mistake... Lets read that article again. Not treason, as the dozens of phone callers screamed. Not fraud, as the dozens of e-mails charged. Nothing. Human error, by someone unknown, caused Call's office to claim Paul received zero votes from the town during Tuesday's first-in-the-nation primary. .... Call, 35, arrived at the Pillsbury Memorial Hall Tuesday morning at 7 for the start of a marathon day. About a dozen or so staffers coordinated the effort, guiding voters, counting votes, rechecking totals. Paul's 31 votes got lost in the shuffle, lost in translation between moderator Greg Hill's voice and Call's pen. The slot next to Paul's name on the original return sheet said 31, but a space on Call's return, next to Paul's name, remained blank. "He's (Gill) reading off his results, I'm writing them down on the return," Call said. "I don't know why it was blank. I don't know if he skipped over it or if someone interrupted him to repeat the last name and it got skipped, or maybe I missed it. It was that simple."

Mrs. Call is the person that made the mistake.

The caller had Ron Paul's numbers correct on his tally sheet. Mrs. Call did not. It's pretty clear who's mistake it was.

An honest mistake was made and swiftly corrected, and this woman gets harrassed for it? Who does that kind of behavior help?
