Reply #5: The title could say "fewer Kerry votes" or "more Bush votes"

[IndyOp]

though it should have said 101, 926 instead of 101,506 -- the conclusion is that Kerry should have 101,926 more votes in his tally than he does right now.

The problem could be ballot spoilage, or it could be the computer program that tallies the punch-card ballots in the centralized counting systems used in 41 counties in Ohio (see AnIndependentTexan's post below).

Also look at the REALLY spooky item about Triad machines in Sumter County, Ohio in 2000 (also in AnIndependentTexan's post below) --

"Sumter County voters cast 33,433 ballots in the 2000 general election, but only 30,671 registered a vote for president, an apparent undervote of 8.3 percent.

"I'm sure the problem is not with the cards. And, generally, people will vote correctly," said Vandyke.

Only 91.4 percent of the 7,486 Democratic primary ballots registered a vote for U.S. Senate this month, while 96.3 percent recorded a vote for the local sheriff's race and 94.6 percent registered for state auditor.

What do you think? :shrug:
