14. Actually . . .

I was surprised to find that there really is a logical explanation: precincts that share the same building, but have Presidential candidates rotated in a different order. If someone is directed to, or goes to, the wrong spot to vote after getting a ballot, their vote will go to the wrong candidate.

It points out yet another significant problem with our voting system, but fraud is not the most likely explanation in this case.

For a detailed analysis, including which precincts shared locations, read the second post on this page:
