In reply to the discussion: Democrats Might Have Won the Last Big Election of 2013 With a Newly Discovered Voting Machine [View all]onenote
(46,147 posts)Its not what people want to hear, and its not something that this country should be proud of, but its a fact that the discovery of miscounted and uncounted votes between the reporting on election day and the date on which votes are certified is pretty common. Also, keep in mind that many of the "lost" votes being added to the totals in Virginia are not lost or miscounted -- they're provisional votes that simply hadn't been counted when the initial results were added up. And because these corrected and/or supplemented totals are not all reported simultaneously, it creates the impression that there is something unusual going on. Sadly its not. The difference is that this time, the race is so close, that it has a spotlight on all the post election day counting and revising and correcting that goes on in every election.
