Ohio County Finds 6 percent of Its Votes

As one can see, a total vote count discrepancy of 1,079 votes was determined by the full hand recount. This is a substantial number of votes, and resulted in 6.25 percent of all Presidential votes cast in Coshocton County on November 2, 2004 failing to be counted when the vote was certified on December 6, 2004. I recognize that all involved parties in the recount, Board members, Board employees and candidate witnesses all desire and expect fair, accurate and secure elections. Obviously you are as concerned as I about these disturbing facts and events.
