NEW YORK— With news this morning that the computerized balloting in North Carolina is so thoroughly messed up that all state-wide voting may be thrown out and a second election day scheduled, the story continues.

4. Sounds like a good plan NATIONWIDE to me!

I like it!

[Jersey Devil]

5. but not the Presidential part

Got me! How can one part be accurate but not another?

[Goldmund]

8. Says who?

"State-wide" just means all candidates that were put up for election in the whole state, including POTUS. It excludes local offices, like mayors, town council, etc. At least, that's the way I understand it.

9. Says Olberman

Tonight on 'Countdown,' we'll examine the N.C. mess (which would not include a second presidential vote), new fuzzy math in Nevada, allegations against the Democrats in Pennsylvania, Ralph Nader's news conference, and the other voting developments as they occur.

10. Shit, you're right

I wonder what the justification for that is. Did they have separate paper-ballot machines for the presidential vote????

12. psh.

I thought they would have re-done the presidental election! :(

[MallRat]

13. I don't understand... how do they NOT redo the Presidential ballot?

Why would all of the statewide races be up for re-vote, but somehow the Presidential election results are perfectly fine?

Hmmm... we might need to consider a little donation to Bowles, don't we?

14. Maybe because NC's EVs wouldn't change the result?

15. Good idea, and write-in

for the POTUS.
