Does CNN manually enter election results or fed from SOS sites?
Anyone know? I'm trying to find out if anyone got a screen shot from the Secretary of State's site in Iowa that showed Nader with 2,200 votes in tiny Boone County at about 10:57 EST November 2, 2004 Election Night. It was later changed to zero but it might have been proof of something going on if anyone was looking at these results. Another DUer saw this on CNN also so I wasn't that's my only confirmation. Because it is a secondary source it doesn't mean anything.

5. I posted that but I saw it on CNN not the official Iowa SOS site
I did not get a screen shot. All I had was my word and another DUer who looked it up on CNN. Hopefully SOMEONE IN IOWA caught it.

3. i had the same experience on CNN in Ohio
i swore that i saw nader votes posted in ohio, and even mentioned to a friend that it looked like Kerry would be ahead in Ohio if Nader wasn't on the ballot. Then later looked back when i realized he had been take off the ballot at the last minute, and the votes, and his name were gone. I raised the same question and suspicions in a thread a few weeks ago, and didn't get an answer. someone said they saw Cobb votes.

anyone else see Nader votes in Ohio or Iowa or another state that seemed odd?

how do they get/post their numbers?
