The gentleman you mentioned, Nicholas Hengartner, is mentioned today in the WSJ...

Statistician Nicolas Hengartner of Quebec was revealed to have submitted inaccurate information in a court affidavit he filed in an attempt to prove that he had found an uneven distribution of "undervotes"-- ballots showing no vote for president--in Florida.

"Simply put," Hengartner said, "the problem lies not with the people but with the voting machines."
