BBV: Total Vote Count and Undervote Study (HG This is 4 U)
http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/national/article/0,1406,KNS_350_3240188,00.html

<<snip>>
A study of 2000 election returns by Scripps Howard News Service found that errors are least likely when state and local election officials conscientiously check for missing votes in every election.

Electoral excellence can be found in some unexpected corners of America. Few ballots are miscounted in Baltimore's gritty inner city where folks are more likely to be impoverished than college educated. Even fewer votes go missing in the bayous of Louisiana where political corruption is legendary.

HG, I know you like the statistics and data. Well, here is a good study that can be used to compare with this years data. For instance; Seattle, according to the study, had a 99.4 percent ballots showing a vote for President in 2000. They also have new, Federally uncertified software this year. Will the undervote number go up or down?
