Movin'-On: One more typical swing-state DRE-corruption

2000: Blatant theft of election by disenfranchising at least 90,000 black Florida voters.
2004: Millions of votes demonstrably (statistically) stolen in virtually all of the swing states.  
Next time?  We will never know - it will be unprovable - without another Deep-Throat risking death.

Voters Group: Florida Audit Shows Problems 
Thu May 26, 8:44 AM ET

A voters' rights group said Wednesday its audit of November's presidential election ballots in Miami-Dade County showed counting problems - and an instance of a number of votes being counted three times.

A report released by the Miami-Dade Election Reform Coalition said during the elections there were "serious problems with policies and procedures that are supposed to protect the integrity of the ballot."

In many precincts, the number of people who signed in to cast votes was not tracked carefully, or in some cases was not compared with the actual number of ballots cast at those precincts.

The group also said there was a touchscreen machine malfunction; when votes were tallied the results from one machine had been counted three times, creating a discrepancy of 171 votes that became part of the certified canvass, the group said.

"It slid right through and nobody caught it," said Martha Mahoney, a professor at University of Miami and a group member.

Fifteen of Florida's 67 counties used touchscreen machines, including most of the heavily populated ones.

Election officials welcomed the criticism and said the machine that gave a 3-for-1 tally has been sent for testing.

"We generally think that the more voices that you have the better off you are," said Seth Kaplan, spokesman for the elections office.
