For those concerned about election irregularities
New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler is asking the GAO to investigate voting irregularities. In particular he cites:
In Columbus, Ohio, an electronic voting system gave President Bush nearly 4,000 extra votes. 'Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes,' Associated Press, November 5.
An electronic tally of a South Florida gambling ballot initiative failed to record thousands of votes. 'South Florida OKs Slot Machines Proposal,' Id.
In one North Carolina county, more than 4,500 votes were lost because officials mistakenly believed a computer that stored ballots could hold more data that it did. 'Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes,' Id.
In San Francisco, a glitch occurred with voting machines software that resulted in some votes being left uncounted. Id.
In Florida, there was a substantial drop off in Democratic votes in proportion to voter registration in counties utilizing optical scan machines that was apparently not present in counties using other mechanisms.
I'm posting this in reponse to concerns about the election. Rep. Nadler is trying to make sure these problems to happen in the future. Here is his website NY Rep. Nadler
I suggest emailing him if you are concerned about these probles.
