    As I recall, some of the overseas ballots (mostly from military personnel, who tend to vote republican) were "misplaced" in the 2000 election in Florida. This was in a county with Democrats running the election. Now, were the election managers incompetent, or was it a conspiracy? I'd guess incompetent, but who knows. Now, if people can't figure out how to COUNT, what makes anyone think that they will be able to run an election electronically without screwing something up?
