50. BradBlog had it right from the day after the election.

Jan 2012

A small county had so few people that the got together and figured out the posted totals were wrong. They had 2 votes for Romney, but the posted results showed 22.

That means that the next day they knew Romney lost by 12, not won by 8.

The guys signed affidavits, BradBlog put those on its web. Big Ed's radio show in Detroit went to music just as he talked about it. Randi Rhodes show had extra music and did not seem to cover it.

It was odd.
