North Carolina May Redo State Election

goombah99 writes "The North Carolina Observer reports that due to failure of computerized voting system to properly record votes after its memory cards filled North Carolina may have to redo the November 2 statewide election. They believe 4400 votes were lost and from this have decided that only the State Ag commissioner race must be re-run. Still it's going to cost them a lot, indeed its going to cost them about the same price as 1000 new voting machines (3 million dollars) , or about $750 for every lost vote. Guess they wont be able to afford a paper trail system now."

    Just like to say that I read your reply and find it informative. Thanks for taking the time. Nonetheless, I find it highly unlikely that Bush won this election fair and square, and with the tendency among Republicans to accept criminality when it is one of their own who is the criminal I am at the very least extremely skeptical of the election results.
