Voting machine memory stick drama in Georgia sparks scandal, probe
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/11/06/georgia_voter_fraud_investigation/The US state of Georgia is delving into a claim that a misplaced electronic ballot box may have swung a key vote.
On November 3, in the county of DeKalb just east of Atlanta, LaVista Hills held a vote on whether to become a city. In a closely run race, the motion was defeated by 136 votes – less than one per cent of the electorate.
Leonard Piazza, who works in the county's office of voter registration and elections, claims a mislaid memory stick is proof the count was bungled – or worse, rigged.
On Thursday, he told Channel 2 Action News he found a memory card of the type used by the state's voting machines loose in the office, and fears votes stored on the device were not counted.
