Brad Friedman was a guest on the Ed Schultz radio program today, which had substitute guest host Tony Trupiano on for Ed.

Brad pointed out that Waukesha County uses the same machines that mis-recorded the results of a Florida election.

I googled “wellington county recount”(which you might want to check for more details), but this link gives the basic summary:

http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/story/state-investigating-palm-beach-county-voting-fiasco

It was only because a spot check of randomly sampled ballots turned up some discrepancies that they had to do a complete, 100% paper recount, which turned the result over to a 'losing' candidate.

...Are we surprised this wasn't a bigger news story? I hadn't heard about it before.
