MORE VOTING WORRIES: ‘Static’ Blamed for D.C.’s Extra Votes Snafu.

326 people voted at the Reeves Center precinct on primary election day in September. Their votes were captured on a computer cartridge, but the Board of Elections says when it put the cartridge into the citywide computer to be counted, 1,500 write in votes appeared from nowhere. The board completed its investigation of what might have happened and blames static electricity.

As I’ve said before, the issue of voting integrity needs urgent attention.
