Ohio Finds Possible Double Votes, Counts

By Jay Cohen / Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Election officials in one Ohio county found that about 2,600 ballots were double-counted, and two other counties have discovered possible cases of people voting twice in the presidential election.

Prosecutors were trying to determine Wednesday whether charges should be filed against a couple in Madison County accused of voting twice. In addition, Summit County election workers investigated possible double votes found under 18 names.

In the other case, Sandusky County election officials discovered that about 2,600 ballots from nine precincts were counted twice, likely because of worker error, elections director Barb Tuckerman said.

Tuckerman believes the votes were counted twice when they were mistakenly placed alongside a pile of uncounted ballots. The room where the ballots were being fed into optical-scan machines on election night was so crowded that ballots had to be placed on the floor, Tuckerman said. "It was totally hectic," she said.

2. PLEASE EXPLAIN!

Compare the general tone of what Michael Moore gives (this story) on his web to the tone of like material on Keith Olberman's website. (Check out how Barb is presented).

I find it odd that Moore presents the issue of possible fraud so mildly (relitively speaking)... especially when you consider the convincing stories I've read here on DU. I would also imagine Moore has some interesting stories of his own to report...

Does anyone see my point? Why put up a pretty ho-hum AP story? Isn't this strange?
