If you're talking about the entire state, and if the type of voting machines was evenly distributed across liberal/conservative populations, then yes, errors shouldn't favor a particular candidate. I don't have a good source of numbers, but it's been postulated that the more error-prone punchcard voting machines may be more heavily used in regions that tend to favor Bore. This could skew the result in this case, and change the regional distribution of errors.
