There are districts where they are now counting more total votes than the number of people who actually voted. How on earth is that possible?I had posted a link to an article describing how the very same thing happened in California. There was a software bug that erased previously counted votes without a trace. The problem occurred if a tally were interrupted. The numbers accumulated before the interruption would be erased by the later count. The reason the bug was detected was because the local elections board scanned all the ballots with a scanner and gave the images to any citizen who wanted them. More votes were found than the "number of people who actually voted according to the machine count," when the paper mark sense ballots were tallied again. The initial reaction was that some ballots had been scanned twice. The bug was discovered, when it was determined that no ballots had been scanned more than once. |
