Iowa Caucus (rural precinct vote discrepancy) -- Dana Milbank ruling in Jan. 6 Chat

from Washington Post dot-com Friday humor in politics section of "Opinion":

Overcounting in Rural IOWA

Did the 20-vote overcount in Appanoos county, Iowa come about from ballot overstuffing or did the vote counters keep counting unmarked ballots that were extras as if they were for the "most electable" Romney?

Dana Milbank :

Silly. It's Appanoose County (with an e at the end), and the problem is obvious.  They still count votes there by using sticks to draw tallies in the dirt.
