Revote Refused After 110 Electronic Votes Lost in PA.
www.readingeagle.com click on local news
July 15, 2005 - Involves the City of Reading and Spring Township in eastern PA.

"Election results in four city of Reading precincts where 111 votes were lost are final, and no revote will be held to correct the loss, the Berks County Elections Board agreed Thursday.

The board had proposed a special election because a contractor's programming errors in voting-machine cartridges caused 111 of 473 votes in the city to be lost, and put a Republican candidate for Spring supervisor on the wrong ballot for several hours during the May 17 primary election. The board believes results in the city would not change with a revote, he said.

The issue in Spring is different because people were denied the opportunity to vote for Norman E. Dettra Jr. against his opponent...

4. Well that's less than 25% of the total; the cutoff for new elections (not)
Wow, I can't even begin to imagine that scene. What does it take, more than 1/2 of the votes. Just remember that every four years our party sits on it's collective fat ass and lets around 3 million votes go uncounted becasue of "spoilage" -- something wrong with the machine or marking devices. These votes are almost always in minority districts, which go heavy Democratic, and they are never counted.

The Democrtic Party rulers would feel right at home in Reading.

Mind blowing post!

Great Election Fraud Tool
