http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05041/455437.stmA committee appointed to review the problems experienced by Mercer County voters during November's election has found what members call "remarkable negligence" by the county's elections bureau and commissioners.
In a 22-page report released this week, the committee made sweeping suggestions for correcting what happened on Election Day.
Among the problems that day were incorrect programming on some electronic machines, machines breaking down entirely and the unavailability of paper ballots in those instances.
According to the committee's study, out of nearly 52,000 voters who went to the polls, some 4,000 votes cast for president were not recorded. In one precinct in Farrell, 238 voters went to the polls, but voting machines counted only 55 votes for president.
