Manatee County's voting machines flat-out refused to count over 50,000 votes. After working all night with technicians they 'solved' the problem by using a manual entry feature in the tabulator to insert votes by hand. Hillsborough County had a meltdown they say was caused by gumming up the system with early votes and polling place votes, causing the tabulator to have a meltdown. Statistical anomalies are being reported, and I'll review those before posting.
Here are some of the incoming news links showing significant issues with the voting machines:

Remember that most voting machine problems surface during the 30 days following Election Day, as results are tabulated and canvassed. |
