Stephen, thanks for bringing that up.

"the automated counts have an error factor of 5%-7% !!. And no one thinks this is a problem ??."

The problem is that everyone is so emotionally attached to their candidate. The other party's candidate is so obviously a slimy, double-talking politician, while MY party's candidate is an honest, reliable, sincere human being who is only looking out for my best interests. Looking at the situation that way, it's hard to see the essential facts when they present themselves.

I don't know where you got that 5% to 7% error in counting
votes, but that number is so large it can not be believed.

You can't believe everything people say. At this time
and for the blatantly partisan, it's more like you can't
believe anything people say.

Its not the automated counts that are in error, its the people. There are many people who vote for two candidates because they like them both !! I will defend their right to do just that :-)
