    A computer error is to blame for the failure of the memory card which records the voting data, Local 6 News reported.

    When the error was discovered Monday, representatives from both parties were notified.

    Both sides then witnessed the removal of the ballots and their storage in the vault.

    The canvassing board will meet Monday to discuss how to recount the ballots.

    Election officials said that the discovery will not compromise the count, according to Local 6 News.

    :rolleyes: Starting kinda early, ain't it? At least let the rest of them catch up before you try anything...

    Once again, The Onion seems to be increasingly accurate in it's predictions. article_thumb3000.jpg. I don't think there can be a close final result being declared without weeks in the courts. The genie was let out of the bottle in 2000.

    I have also read this on the Michael Moore site:

    But have been unable to find any other sites carrying anything similar?!?! It's not that I don't trust what is being said but I'd like to see some verification somewhere :)

    I've seen those reports during the day alright, but mostly from Drudge, so I was also waiting for confirmation ;)

    However, this sounds like the very reason we didn't bother with the evoting system here, rather than a conspiracy or any kind...
