People definitely aren't perfect, DJ, but machines aren't either. There will be a margin of error in both counts so both will not be completely accurate. For the case of the Washington vote what really matters most wasn't that, it was the votes that had been accidentally not been counted... that's what really tipped the balance. And I absolutely believe that what the King County officials said about them is completely accurate and that they are votes that had been thrown out that should not have been. They wouldn't lie and invent votes, I'm sure of that...
