Wired: "E-Vote Glitch Inflates Bush Total"

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said.

Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.

I've been out of the DU loop for quite awhile, so I don't know where to post this, sorry if it's a dupe.

I think someone should try to start an independent investigation about this, start writing your congresspeople.
