Some Missourians doubled their vote, report says

[Thurston Howe IV]

KANSAS CITY, MO. - In today's often tight elections, every vote counts. But a Kansas City Star investigation has found that for some people across Missouri, their vote counts double — because they voted twice in the same election.

Some vote in Kansas, cross the state line and vote again in Missouri. Others appear to be voting in two different Missouri counties.

"I was wrong in what I did," said James D. Scherzer, an attorney who acknowledged that he voted in Kansas City and Kansas City, Kan., in the August 2000 primary election."

I wish they'd just clean up the whole process. There's been lots of cheating on both sides probably since the whole thing started.

6. In Missouri, in 2000

the situation was, from everything I've heard, just as bad as Florida. It just didn't count as much.
