33. The machines are still padding the votes see below
Edited on Wed May-04-05 09:59 PM by MissWaverly
The machines are still not accurate, see below, now because there
were 2 republicans competing, then it was straightened out, but what if it had been a democrat vs a republican, the tally was originally
3,208 votes cast instead of the actual tally of 768, that's a margin of padded votes by 3 to 1 margin, but it was human error, (He, He).
Nothing to see here, move along.

Counting error overstates votes

GOP candidate for Kershaw County Council finds out he lost to competitor

By KRISTY EPPLEY RUPON

Staff Writer

Human error is being blamed for a mistake that overturned results from Tuesday’s Republican primary in a special election for Kershaw County Council. Unofficial vote totals that night showed 3,208 of District 2’s 5,128 registered voters had cast ballots in the Republican and Democratic primaries. A manual recount Thursday proved only 768 votes were cast.
