4503 Electronic Votes Lost in NC

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the exited-polls dept.

ctnp writes "While it wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome, 4530 votes were lost in one North Carolina county after one machine was configured to store 3,005 votes instead of the expected 10,500. 'The machines flash a warning message when there is no more room for storing ballots. 'Evidently, this message was either ignored or overlooked,' he [Jack Gerbel, CEO of machine-providing UniLect] wrote.'"

    I really don't get you guys. I really don't. For four years it was a constant gripe about who really won and who really lost. Now you go and switch the rules 180 degrees! If Bush should not have been president the last four years because he didn't win the popular vote, then neither should Kerry be president the next for years should hell freeze over and the electoral college sends him to Washington.
