SOME FUNKY STUFF GOING ON IN OHIO only caught because a close race triggered a recount.
Makes you wonder where it wasn't caught.

The "miscounted" electronic votes were accidentally counted twice in three precincts and was caught because of a close race affecting areas are in the 15th Congressional District; there, Republican Steve Stivers leads Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy by almost 400 votes.

Errors were in on precinct which has 534 registered voters and posted 633 votes. In another, which has 951 registered voters, 1,095 votes were counted. And in the third, which has 1,066 registered voters, posted 1,138 votes.

Numbers are being corrected. The official count uses cards from each voting machine to avoid double-counting.

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner questioned why Franklin County took so long to count paper ballots. Stinziano said his employees were overwhelmed by early absentee voting. Lines stretched into the night at Veterans Memorial. Voters trying to avoid that wait formed lines at the board's offices Monday for take-home absentee ballots.

As a result, early counts weren't finished before polls opened Tuesday.

SHADY!
