The failure to report all the ballots was blamed on the machine by someone. However, one or more humans did the counting and tallying using machines as tools. The human team is responsible for reporting the sum accurately, not the machine they run ballot batched through.

Who initially puts these 'machine at fault' explanations into print anyway? Who is making excuses why?

Statistics clearly illustrates voting patterns and irregularities. See: http://jqjacobs.net/politics/ohio.html
