AP<\/i> is reporting tonight<\/a> 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<\/a> are Bush: 17,824 Kerry: 13,909 in that county.)<\/p>\n

According to the AP<\/i> story:<\/p>\n

2,600 ballots from nine precincts were counted twice, likely because of worker error, elections director Barb Tuckerman said. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

“It was totally hectic,” she said. <\/p>\n

The problem was discovered when Tuckerman found that one precinct showed 131 percent of registered voters had cast ballots.<\/p><\/div>\n

So the original 136,000 vote advantage for Bush keeps dwindling by the day. And soon, a full recount of the entire state.<\/p>\n

Getting, fun, huh? Here’s some speculative — yet interesting — math about what could happen in that coming Ohio recount<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
