Glitch Could Force State to Vote Again (North Carolina)

[BeFree]

"Counties will add totals from as many as 75,000 provisional ballots to their returns today. If the final margin in any race is within 4,532 -- the number of lost votes in Carteret -- the losing candidate can file a protest with the N.C. State Board of Election.

It's unclear what would happen in that case. Attorneys are studying whether the board could call a new election in Carteret County only, or even ask the disenfranchised voters to vote again. (Local elections officials have their names.)

But state law may not allow that: "The new election shall be held in the entire jurisdiction in which the original election was held," it says. That could mean the whole state."

4. That is the whole link

It worked for me the first time, then it ran me to registration.

I pasted the meat of the article. Wouldn't that be something if the whole state had to revote? NC and computer voting equals trouble. See the stuff in the NC state forum.

8. According to Olbermann's show last night,

it won't recount the Presidential election. Maybe Senator? How much did the Dem candidate need to win?
