More Ohio Double Counting

Just a quick note concerning an article in Ohio's The News-Messenger: Some ballots counted twice "Discovery raises further doubt about close treasurer race"

After reviewing the computer discs used to store precinct tallies, officials came to the conclusion that some ballots in nine precincts were counted twice.

The mistake may have occurred when counted ballots were stacked with those waiting to be counted, Tuckerman said.

Ok, this does seem like an honest mistake. But nonetheless, a problem. How many more times did something like this happen? This error was only discovered by accident.

Senior said she learned about the mishap when she stopped by the office to pick up a cell phone she'd left there.

"I was surprised, but I know they'll get it fixed and recounted," said Senior who agreed the election [for treasurer] is too close to call. "It just depends on the precincts. There is no way to know."

The double counting creates a situation that can't be solved until questions are answered.

We must demand a complete audit of the Ohio vote! And we will get it. (I too contributed to http://www.votecobb.org/)
