Bush/Cheney '04: "More votes than voters: Now THAT'S a mandate!"

Look at page 23 on the voter returns for Franklin County, Ohio:

http://www.franklincountyohio.gov/b...Unofficial Abstract of Votes General 2004.pdf

Check out the presidential totals for precinct Gahana 1:

The Libertarian: 13
Bush/Cheney: 6253
Kerry/Edwards: 1916
Constitutional Party: 10

Now, check out the senatorial vote in that precinct:

Republican: 2848
Democrat: 1259

Did 4000 people vote for Bush/Cheney and just skip the senatorial vote?

No. Check out the precinct voter count: 4346.

An additional 4000 Bush/Cheney votes in box Gahana 1-B: go figure!

Bush/Cheney '04: "More votes than voters: Now THAT'S a mandate!"

RE: Bush/Cheney

8192 votes were cast for president? Interesting number for a computer geek. 2000 base 16, 20000 base 8. 8 X 2^10 or 8K (base 2). I get a little suspicious when supposed real world numbers suddenly start matching magic computer numbers. Usually evidence of a bad hashing function. Probably just a coincidence though.

This is a precinct with the Diebold machines?
