Voting machine glitch changes election (!!!)

[eleonora]

A recently found computer glitch in the voting machines in Franklin County, Indiana has given a democrat enough votes to bump a republican from victory in a County Commissioner's race.

The glitch in the machines recorded straight Democratic Party votes for Libertarians.

The votes were re-counted last night, by hand.

The company who made the voting machine is also checking into programming of it's equipment in nine other Indiana counties.

4. Hmm, AccuVote

Yep, like "Patriot Act" and "Healthy Forests Initiative".

Take the name and do the opposite . . .
