Ohio county election officials found 2,600 ballots were double-counted

President Bush won the election in Ohio by 136,000 votes according to the unofficial tally. However, votes were counted twice times in several counties.

Sandusky County discovered that about 2,600 ballots were counted twice. Elections director Barb Tuckerman said she believes the votes were counted twice when they were mistakenly placed alongside a pile of uncounted ballots. The problem was discovered when Tuckerman found that one precinct showed 131 percent of registered voters had cast ballots.

I find it sad that we still have voting difficulties after the 2000 election. I suppose Bush really needs to count on ballot dysfunction to win the presidency.
