2004 U.S. Election controversies and irregularities

Mmmm...

2004 U.S. Election controversies and irregularities: "One website discusses Gahanna, Franklin Co. Ohio. The vote reported by the county in Gahanna 1-B was 4258 Bush, 260 Kerry, and the total votes cast in Gahanna overall were 20,736. However:


Gahanna has some 20,000 people elegible to vote and the reported turnout was around 70%. On a casual reckoning approximately 14,000 people voted, and yet nearly 21,000 votes were reported by voting machines.

4258 Republican votes were electronically reported for Bush in Gahanna 1-B. But there were only 638 votes cast in the precinct. Furthermore the 3893 extra individuals who are said to have queued to vote for Bush, and were therefore presumably Republican, did not appear to vote on any other matter bar the Presidency. (These other matters included the Senate race, County Commissioner, several County and State officials, and the imfamous Gay Unions vote, issues of great importance in the election)
