While Milwaukee officials blamed computer glitches and data-entry errors for its more-ballots-than-voters-recorded problem, that explanation simply won't fly in the Town of Herman, population 741.
The Shawano County town has no official registration list, and its voter records are kept by hand. Nevertheless, the presidential results in the Nov. 2 election were off by nearly 25%, with President Bush getting 100 extra votes by mistake.

That is the same problem identified in Milwaukee, where there was a gap of 7,000 votes, with more ballots cast than people listed. That represented a discrepancy of 2.5%.

A SHAWANO COUNTY COMMUNITY HAS A MAJOR DISCREPANCY OF ITS OWN.
THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL REPORTS THE TOWN OF HERMAN'S RESULTS GAVE GEORGE BUSH AN EXTRA 100 VOTES.
THAT'S AN ERROR OF NEARLY 25 PERCENT OF THE TOWN'S TOTAL VOTE.
