Big Presidential Vote Count Error Found and Fixed in New Mexico

[No Passaran]

A test in Santa Fe County finds and fixes an error that could have cost Democrats thousands of votes.

An electronic voting machine test in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, on Friday revealed a programming error that, had it not been caught and corrected before the start of early voting next week, would not have counted hundreds -- or possibly thousands -- of votes for president and U.S. Senate in this Democratic stronghold.

4. I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked.

Shocked that ES&S could have let that little error slip by.

The M100 tabulator is used in numerous swing states such as Montana, Iowa and Indiana, according to VerifiedVoting.org, a nonpartisan group that tracks electronic voting issues.
