Earlier today, a precinct in Maplewood, a St. Paul suburb, discovered 171 ballots that had not previously been counted. Apparently the precinct started using one electronic machine, which malfunctioned after 171 ballots had been cast. The precinct switched to another machine, but until now, it appears that no one remembered to pull the 171 ballots out of the original machine and count them. Sounds curiously similar to the situation in the 2004 Rossi-Gregoire Governors race in Washington State. There, the King County Elections Board kept finding pockets of previously uncounted ballots. Oh, wait, one of the Democrat activists from the King County recount is helping in MN. That explains it. Message 25174241
