Machine Counts Dem Votes for Santorum - Then the Dems Strikes Back

[JPZenger]

In a polling place in Forks Township, Northampton County, PA yesterday, 6 voters in the morning reported that when the tried to vote straight Democratic on an electronic voting machine, their votes showed up for Santorum.

Fortunately, there were 2 Democratic poll watchers in place. They called the DNC hotline. The DNC called their lawyers, who were on stand-by in Harrisburg. Those lawyers called the County Elections Board, and the machine was quickly taken out of service. It is great when the checks and balances actually work.

2. Did anyone collect some real documentation?

Capture the offending machine so it can be analyzed by law enforcement? Or was it just red-tagged and sent back for repairs?

3. I don't know

I know the 2 poll workers well, but my wife was the person who talked to them.

Well, whaddaya know about that.

Santorum couldn't even steal the election, so badly did people want his paws off the levers of power.

My suspicion late last night was that some Dem victory margins are even wider than reported.
