Uh-Oh

(STILL NEGRIL, JAMAICA) - Electronic voting machines gave Bush thousands of unearned votes in Ohio. Cripes.
Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes

An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.

Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct. Bush's total should have been recorded as 365.
