1 in 6000 error rate in Pueblo?

[Neal McBurnett <neal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why isn't there more information on exactly what just happened in
Pueblo County?

Sounds like at least a 1 in 6000 error rate on something there....

Anyone know any more?  E.g. what kinds of systems they have?

 Ortiz beats Palacio by 2 votes

 ...

 The margin was ... four votes after provisional ballots were verified
 and counted on Friday.

 A recount is mandatory if the margin is less than 0.5 percent of the
 leader's vote, and six citizen election judges conducted the recount,
 beginning at 7 a.m. Thursday in a dance studio at the Sangre de
 Cristo Arts and Conference Center.

 That part of the process involved unlocking the voting machines from
 the precincts, removing the paper ballots that had been locked inside
 since the election day, and running them back through the machines.

 That took almost six hours, and the group moved to the courthouse in
 the afternoon to recount the provisional and absentee ballots, then
 enter the precinct computer disks one-by-one and add them all up.

 The total number of votes cast didn't change, but one vote shifted to
 Palacio from Ortiz, so the totals were Ortiz, 3,353 and Palacio,
 3,351.
