Significant Vote Counting Errors in NY 23's Madison County
TCOT Report ^ | November 4, 2009 | Michael Patrick Leahy

578 Votes Counted for Scozzafava in 3 Election Districts Where Hoffman Received ZERO Counted Votes

With 92% of the precincts accounted for and a hefty 5,850 vote differential, news today that Madison County's Board of Election has confirmed that Doug Hoffman received zero counted votes in three of its fifty-five election districts is unlikely to cause the Conservative candidate in yesteday's Special Election in the 23rd Congressional District to rescind his concession speech. But it does raise eyebrows among election watchers who heard numerous accounts of election day malfunctions of a new voting machine system that was in place yesterday.

578 votes in those three election districts were counted for Scozzafava, but they were probably cast for Hoffman. Counting those votes for Hoffman rather than Scozzafava would reduce Hoffman's vote deficit from 5,850 to 5,272, still not nearly enough to call the outcome into question.

The unofficial vote count for each of the fifty-five election districts in the county was released today and can be viewed here.

The three election districts where the vote count is in question are the Town of Fenner 1st District, Town of Hamilton 3rd District, and Town of Sullivan 2nd District.

Understand but wonder why our candidates always roll over and play possum. We’re never going to get our election system fixed if we keep blowing this stuff off. I see one fraudulent vote as too damn many.

I know Hoffmann really won by a landslide, and the 'Ratf*cks in NY screwed him out of the GOP's Triple Crown sweep.

I'm dead serious. This may even prove to have been the case; it just depends on whether Hoffmann sues for an officiated recount.

I feel the same way as posted below. We got to fight this fraud right down to the last vote. Now we seem to accept a few thousand here and there, in car trunks, on file cabinets, in graveyards, from non existent addresses and buildings and anything else ACORN can come up with like bus voting in all reachable precincts that will let them in. And soon they will say they don’t need pictured IDs as they all look alike.
...back to my hut.
