42. Here's the key piece of info alleging "vote flipping"
From http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_bruce_o__080110_obama_clinton_3a_remar.htm%20

Clinton Optical scan 91,717 52.95%
Obama Optical scan 81,495 47.05%

Clinton Hand-counted 20,889 47.05%
Obama Hand-counted 23,509 52.95%

Note how the percentages are identical down to the hundredths. e.g. Clinton Optical == Obama Hand-counted.

This result would in fact occur if Clinton & Obama had been flipped in the machine tally.

However, this data is not evidence that this has actually occurred.

It simply means that a manual recount of the op-scan ballots is a good idea.
