Still not conclusive evidence, but I can't help but wonder if this was the only county.

And 3,800 extra votes when there were only 620 voters! How does this big of a mistake happen?

I'm not surprised. Bush probably still won, but it just shows how flawed these machines are.

"The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election. "

Since this is from a fund-raising letter, it should be verifiable.

The fact remains only votes from 20 people count in Ohio. And they already voted.

The machine with the extra votes wasnt a diebold machine. it was a Danaher machine and the only one of its type used in Ohio.
