Misplacing 14,000 votes is inexcusable.

I may be just a bit cynical about this sort of thing but has anyone else thought that the Dem operatives at the polls may be setting the Republicans up for a charge of vote fraud because these votes were found just when needed or perhaps setting up a defense for their "found" votes SOP?

I can see them coming back and saying "hey it happens -- Look at WI when the GOP found votes..."

The clerk deleted an unofficial spreadsheet by mistake and it was missed in a report to the AP during the count and the votes did not get reported to the public.

The votes are still official and counted and are documented by hard copy. They were not lost. It was just plain human error and the Democrats can't do much about it.
