Where am I confusing you? I guess cutting people down is what you call pointing out that you aren't correct? Well then "guilty as charged" yuk yuk yuk...duuuuuh.

hehe, you should read it again as well. Here's an excerpt:
"Damschroder said people who had seen poll results on the election board's Web site called to point out the discrepancy. The error would have been discovered when the official count for the election is performed later this month, he said. "
That should show you that the only reason this story is out early, is because some People (not officials on the election board), had noticed the count higher than the number of people who even voted. It also says it would have been found later in the month when the official count is completed. Which means this is the only one we know of yet.
Another part of the article says that so far it's minor, but that could change if more errors pop up.
My whole point is that in such a close deciding state, it's not over until it's actually over, which is *not* on election night or the next day... And with a revamped system nationwide instead of state and precinct controlled, we'd have a much better system to avoid this crap. I dont want a whole national election decided by potentially 1 precinct in 1 state who used 1 type of machine... thats just not a good system.
