Does anyone know what the CORRECT results are for New York Election?
I can't seem to find out what the corrected results were for the NY Election.

Origionally hundreds of machines showed 0 votes for Obama.
Later it turned out that this wasn't correct.

2. An article suggested a few weeks after the election.

I think it's often the case with "Official" results.

4. But seriously, official recanvass of ALL machines within 15 days after the election.
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 03:13 AM by Bill Bored
That's when the errors must be corrected.

1. Within fifteen days after each general, special or primary election, and
within seven days after every village election conducted by the board of elections
at which voting machines are used, the board of elections, or a bipartisan committee
of or appointed by said board, shall in each county using voting machines,
make a record of the number on the seal and the number on the protective counter,
of each voting machine used in each election district in such general, special or
primary election, shall open the counter compartment of each of such machine,
and, without unlocking such machine against voting, shall recanvass the vote cast
thereon...

2. If upon such recanvass, it shall be found that the original canvass of the
returns has been incorrectly made from any machine or machines or upon the result
of any absentee and military, special federal, special presidential, emergency
or alleged write-in ballot, a statement in writing shall be prepared giving in detail
for each such machine or total of such ballots or alleged write-in ballots cast, the
result of the recanvass, and such statement shall be witnessed by the persons required
to be present and shall be filed with the board of elections. Such recanvass
of votes made pursuant hereto shall thereupon supersede the returns filed by the
inspectors of election of the election district in which the canvass was made.

3. If upon such recanvass, it shall be found that a discrepancy still remains
unaccounted for, the board of elections, or the committee thereof, with the assistance
of the custodian of the machine, shall unlock the voting and counting
mechanism of the machine and shall proceed thoroughly to examine and test the
machine to determine and reveal the true cause or causes, if any, of the discrepancy
in the returns from such machine. Before testing, the counters shall be reset
at zero and each counter shall be operated at least one hundred times. After the
completion of such examination and test, the custodian shall then and there prepare
a statement in writing giving in detail the result thereof, and such statement
shall be witnessed by the persons required to be present and shall be filed in the
office of the board of elections.

Official results will be announced on Feb. 26.
