Apparently this story appeared last Friday, but I missed it. I’m trying to keep all of these stories straight, report them only once, and attempt to confirm them before passing them on.
In this case, as many as 22,000 miscounted votes were caught in time to reverse the results of two different races in state races in North Carolina according to the Charlotte Observer.
The Guilford totals didn’t change President Bush’s win in the state, but did shift the vote total by 22,000.
Please remember the announced margin of “victory” for Bush in Ohio was about 135,000 in a state of 5.5 million. How many of these types of errors went undetected and/or unreported in Ohio?
How many more of these types of articles do you we need, folks? The system is a disaster, and Congress is sitting on their hands waiting for the Electoral College deadline to pass.

There are no words adequate to describe this perfidy. Americans, who have prided themselves on their own special brand of democracy, have, as a result of computerized voting, lost it. Two presidential elections in a row have been fixed, [and who knows how many in between] and no hope in sight of rectifying it…they have now captured the judiciary, executive and congressional branches of government…we are now run by right wing religious zealots and corporate greed. It is a sad day for Americans.
