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.
