The vote’s been stolen, again, part 5

Yet another “computer glitch”, this time in Franklin County, Indiana, recorded straight ticket Democratic votes as libertarian votes:

BROOKVILLE, Ind. — A hand recount of ballots cast using optical scanning technology gave a Democrat enough extra votes to bump a Republican from victory in a county commissioner’s race.

The erroneous tally was caused when the Fidlar Election Co. scanning system recorded straight-Democratic Party votes as votes for Libertarians in southeastern Indiana’s Franklin County.

    You know, if there’s a “hand-out optional recount”, or whatever you want to call it, doesn’t it strike you that only those bitter on the results of an election would take the time to do this?

    Do NOT let non-scientific polls dictate your world, or, yes, the world really will be against you.
