A software "bug" grants Bush about 4,000 votes in my own Columbus, Ohio.

The only reason they noticed is that only a few hundred votes were cast in that precinct. That's the only time they ever notice such bugs, since there's no way to do a recount.

Mr. Kerry. You need to demand a recount. Now, and when you can't get one, because these machines don't allow for recounts, you need to sue. We are losing democracy to either incompetent programmers or crooks. We need help. I'm so depressed.
