Reply #220: The WashPo has the story on Erlich's request for inquiry

[Robbien]

The article is approximately the same as reported in this thread, but it had this interesting additional paragraph

Montgomery County Council member Howard A. Denis (R-Potomac-Bethesda) is so upset that he is calling for a meeting of the Hopkins scientists, state election officials and the council. If he's not satisfied, he said he will consider asking the state for a waiver, to take the Diebold machines that were used in the county's 2002 election out of circulation. "I don't want a situation where some 15-year-old kid could elect Ben Affleck to county executive," Denis said. "I'm very concerned about this. It goes to the heart of the integrity of our elections."
