It should be noted that the other big problem with the recent  
election in Allegheny county is that some of the paper ballots (used  
for absentee voting or when electronic machines were not available)  
have been lost and nobody seems to be able to find them. They found  
most of them (improperly handled by poll workers and placed in the  
wrong envelopes at the close of polls), but as of a few days ago  
there were apparently a number that are still unaccounted for in one  
very close race.
