NY-23 Update: Voting Virus Taints Results
By Rick Pearcey • November 20, 2009, 09:10 AM
"The computerized voting machines used by many voters in the 23rd district had a computer virus -- tainting the results, not just from those machines known to have been infected, but casting doubt on the accuracy of counts retrieved from any of the machines," reports Nathan Barker in The Gouverneur Times.
Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman is "raising funds for a possible legal challenge to the results and requesting that the Boards of Election hand-count every vote," reports Barker. "On Tuesday, he 'unconceded' the race. In light of the current concerns over the accuracy of the machine-counted votes, Hoffman may now have a legitimate reason to contest the election results."
