Machine  error gives Bush extra Ohio votes 

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.

Bush actually received 365 votes in the precinct, Matthew  Damschroder, 
director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, told The  Columbus 
Dispatch.




Yep, a few errors on machines in various areas, going BOTH ways, I might  
add.   I would like to point out, though, that in this particular  instance 
you 
cited, B. still won...
