Voting glitch in PA voting

[spinbaby]

A friend mentioned that he had heard this story on the radio so I went looking for it. Extensive searching turned up just one mention of it on a conservative news site.

"Toomey's supporters waited into the early morning to watch the results, which became confused at one point when 95,000 votes were accidentally added to Specter's total from Bucks County. After losing all hope, they erupted into cheers when Congressmen John Shadegg (R.-Ariz.) and Jeff Flake (R.-Ariz.) made an appearance, just as the local news channel corrected the totals, narrowing the gap to fewer than 5,000 votes. "

I'd love to know exactly what voting machines were used and just kind of "accident" this was.

1. I think the simple answer

is that a clerical error was made in the rush of trying to tabulate hundreds of thousands of votes in a very short period of time. It was quickly corrected.

[No Mandate Here.]

2. Oops- Dupe

[No Mandate Here.]

3. We are so Luddite in Rural PA

that the only voting glitch that can happen to an individual is that your lead breaks on your Dixon #2 school pencil.

It is almost refreshing.
