Talk:Volusia error
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The external link, One view of the error, leads to a sloppy page full of slanted, disputed opinion, boiling down to little more than a conspiracy theory. Therefore, I propose that this link be removed. --Jacobking 22:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the last external link, namely Information on the Diebold machines, as the link was broken when I tried to access it just now. --RCS talk 16:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- A quick Google check shows plenty of other sources, ([1][2][3], etc.) should an interested editor wish to add them. -Will Beback 21:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Please provide the source(s) of all the vote numbers in the following passage: "The error cropped up in Volusia's 216th precinct of only 585 registered voters. A Diebold Election Systems voting machine showed that 412 of those registered voters had voted (a perfectly reasonable number). The problem was that the machine also claimed those 412 voters had somehow given Bush 2,813 votes and more impressively had given Gore a negative vote count of -16,022 votes." 00:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)kcn
I don't understand how this article jives with the content included in 2004 United States presidential election controversy, voting machines article. That article reads under section "Similar anomalies in recent history: BBV summary of Diebold memo's", that the the second one was loaded sometime close to 2am in the morning. It automatically replaced the first card's results and reduced Gore's total by 16,022 votes and added several thousand votes to Bush plus a variety of minor candidates"...I realize the quote in this article is from the Washington Post, but somewhere the contents erroneous or require a mention of contradiction.
