93,000? Need clairfication on Ohio numbers...

There are two sets of number I have found. Not sure

93,000 extra votes in Cuyahoga County

and then Olbermann mentioned this on his show:

92,000 votes did not count. Some were improperly cast and other improperly counted.

I'm confused. I read all about the extra votes, but what's up with Obermann's statement?

5. Sure lets just not bother counting votes

While we're at it, lets rename this country to the Banana Republic of America.

2. I had heard 93,000 punch card ballots were not counted because no

vote for Pres was recorded. Remember when they ran these back through the machines in Florida, some of the loose chads fell out so they counted. They have provisions for analyzing hanging or pregnant chads in Ohio.

Cunning secretary of states and voting officials can make criteria to disqualify votes. Also, the machines (supposedly) didn't register a lot of votes properly.

See blackboxvoting.org for Bev Harris's book. It includes a chapter on methods of cheating.

7. It was 97549 extra votes to be exact

It seems the Cuyahoga elections people later said this was from absentee ballots being allocated in a certain way? It still doesn't seem to make sense, how can there be more votes than people registered in any district but
Here's the latest update and some sort of convoluted explanation:
