A former news reporter in Florida discovered that votes were being
tabulated in 644 Palm Beach precincts: but Palm Beach only has 643

state of Alabama. However, the next morning, 6,300 of Siegelman's
votes disappeared and the election was handed to Republican Bob
Riley. A recount was requested and denied.

In North Carolina, a software programming error caused

A report from the Caltech-MIT Voting Technology Project states that

elections over the last 12 years.
