AP is reporting tonight that some 2,600 ballots in Sandusky County, OH were double-counted on Election Night. Once again, the error occurred in a strong Bush county where the ersatz “President” won 56% of the vote (if my bad math is correct, totals from the Ohio website are Bush: 17,824 Kerry: 13,909 in that county.)
According to the AP story:
Tuckerman believes the votes were counted twice when they were mistakenly placed alongside a pile of uncounted ballots. The room where the ballots were being fed into optical-scan machines on election night was so crowded that ballots had to be placed on the floor, Tuckerman said.
“It was totally hectic,” she said.
The problem was discovered when Tuckerman found that one precinct showed 131 percent of registered voters had cast ballots.
So the original 136,000 vote advantage for Bush keeps dwindling by the day. And soon, a full recount of the entire state.
Getting, fun, huh? Here’s some speculative — yet interesting — math about what could happen in that coming Ohio recount from “jsmdlawyer” at DailyKos. But by all means, Mainstream Media? There’s nothing to see here…Move along…Let’s see that hilarious Turkey pardoning footage again! That was a riot!

Hi Brad,
I’m originally from one county north — Ottawa. For the state that was once home to eight Presidents to come to this is really a shame. I hope that people in Ohio are waking up to the fact that they cannot have a Secretary of State who is also the head of a campaign for President of their own party. Talk about a conflict of interest! It doesn’t matter what party that person represents; it’s just not good legal practice. Good job on your reporting. Hopefully, someone in the mainstream will start picking up on you and get you out on the major network soon.
Best regards,
Rachel
