What is going on in MONTANA?

I went to bed at 3am with him in a nice lead and 75% reporting and wake up now with the possibility of a recount? WTF? Why haven't they called it for him yet?

4. They did call a recount in Yellowstone county

52% of the precints were reporting there, and Tester was winning with 51% of the vote. Then all of a sudden all the totals were reset to 0 and there was no news for about an hour on why.

Then the official statement came out that a tally machine which reads the optical scan ballots had a glitch and when they tried to fix it it reset the vote total to zero so they had to recount all the ballots for the whole district.

Tester was up by 2500 votes at that point.......the count goes down for 3 hours and then it comes back with him now losing?

BS i officially call BS. Someone, somewhere has manipulated something in that county.

Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 09:14 AM by Blue_Roses

doing something to the machine accidently --I was just walking in the room when they were finishing talking --ABC--didn't catch the whole thing.

Anybody hear this? WE need some clarity here Montana! What the hell is going on?:shrug:
