More voting irregularities found in Gaston County, N.C.
Edited on Fri Nov-26-04 11:43 PM by shraby
Some more I hadn't read about before.

GASTONIA -- The number of recorded votes and voters don't match in more than half of the precincts in Gaston County, more evidence of Election Day problems.
The number of ballots cast and the number of voters signed in by poll workers were different in 29 of the county's 46 precincts, according to a review done by The Charlotte Observer. The discrepancies raise the possibility that some people could have voted twice, while others might have cast ballots that were not counted.

"What you're sharing with me is highly irritating," said Gaston Elections Director Sandra Page, who said she had not known of the problems.

She blamed the discrepancies on precinct workers who failed to follow instructions.

1. NC problems
Yeah right! Sounds like maybe somebody was messing with the tabulations. And not accidentally either.

2. Whether it's fraud or gross incompetence...
they need to overhaul their procedures & replace the employees who allowed this to happen.
