As more issues arise from the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County, Georgia is taking steps to better secure its future elections through cleaning its voter rolls. According to state investigators, the county’s audit of the most recent presidential election included multiple errors but the overall outcome of the audit did not change. "Human error" was the cause for mistakes in the audit, according to the state investigators, because the process required paper ballots being sorted by candidate, hand-counted totals being written on paper, then transcribed into computers. The investigators’ findings were part of a consent order approved by the...

Workers at a plant in Baltimore manufacturing two coronavirus vaccines accidentally conflated the ingredients several weeks ago, contaminating up to 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and forcing regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines. The plant is run by Emergent BioSolutions, a manufacturing partner to both Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca, the British-Swedish company whose vaccine has yet to be authorized for use in the United States. Federal officials attributed the mistake to human error. The mix-up has delayed future shipments of Johnson & Johnson doses in the United States while the Food and Drug...

PALMDALE - Failure to purge the radio communication system at the Los Angeles Enroute Air Traffic Control Center in Palmdale caused Tuesday's nearly four-hour communication breakdown with hundreds of airplanes throughout Southern California, according to a preliminary investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Hamid Ghaffari, an air traffic controller at the Palmdale facility who is also an official with the air traffic controllers union, said FAA...

daviscupper, Thanks for e-mailing. On Saturday, a correction was sent out. Let me explain what happened so you can understand this was not some case of media bias or whatever. This was not a case of me being a liar, but a simple fallable human who makes a mistake. Unfortunately in this politically charged atmosphere, people would rather accuse someone of being a liar than understanding that we are all humans, make mistakes and as the Bible says, deserve forgiveness. As a science correspondent, I was writing, from Washington, a story on the Clinton surgery and heart problem. I was...

Description: A poet wrote: “To err is human.” This truth is forcefully illustrated when one examines the literary productions of mankind. Amazingly, however, the Bible is unblemished by the flaws that generally characterize man’s writings. Robert Utley is one of today’s leading historians of Old West lore. His recent book, Lone Star Justice, chronicles the history of the Texas Rangers from 1823 to 1910. In the Preface to his book, Utley points out that many who have attempted to portray the activity of America’s frontier days have not been diligent in getting their background data accurate. For example, in 1956...
