While not intentional, there was that very public "oops" in NC in 2004 for
which votes were not "counted accurately:"

"More than 4,500 North Carolina votes lost because of mistake in voting
machine capacity"

If I recall, at least one state-wide office was decided by a few hundred
votes, and might have had a different outcome if those votes had not been
lost.
