MAJOR OVERSIGHT On Article Nominated For Front Page

Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 11:16 PM by mermaid
I posted this in that article as well, but I wanted this to GET NOTICED, and so I am posting it HERE as a stand-alone topic...

The original post is titled "THAT IS NOT What The Article Said" and it was in the original Thread about a voting-machinne glitch in Franklin County, Indiana...

HERE is what it said...

This is DIRECTLY FROM the original link...bolds, italics and headings are MY ADDITION...

-------------cut and paste from original article below---------

A recently found computer glitch in the voting machines in Franklin County, Indiana has given a democrat enough votes to bump a republican from victory in a County Commissioner's race.



The glitch in the machines recorded straight Democratic Party votes for Libertarians.




The votes were re-counted last night, by hand.

The company who made the voting machine is also checking into programming of it's equipment in nine other Indiana counties.

-------------end of cut and paste from original article-------------

Anyone here notice they HAND-COUNT when a REPUBLICAN loses...but will they when a DEMOCRAT loses?? Hell, no!!

And still, no one has explained to me in what way this would have benefitted the Democratic candidate...or harmed the Republican one...after all this glitch

was peeling straight-ticket DEMOCRAT votes off and giving them to the LIBERTARIAN candidate!!



It was NOT peeling votes off the Republican...or giving Republican or Libertaian votes TO the Democrat...it was TAKING VOTES AWAY from the Democrat...and YET...the article makes it appear as though the computer glitch caused the Democrat to win!!

If anything, the Democrat woulda WON BY EVEN MORE without the glitch!!

Or is something wrong with MY math here??

Am I the ONLY person who bothered to READ THE ARTICLE??

READ IT!!! With my enhancements, I'm sure you shoudn't have any trouble seeing the inconsistency here...

HERE is the original article...and note the soure is FOX...
