"Errors in counting individual votes are dwarfed by gross errors in tabulation."--excellent point, and one that needs to be emphasized.

I had a punch-card ballot for the gubernatorial election; the poll workers stopped us at the ballot box and asked us to check for chads before putting the ballot in the slot.

When people first started complaining about the voting machines, I thought they were insane, but now I think they may be onto something.
