|  #1 Posted on 8.11.04 2343.45 | Instant Rating: 4.66 | This is copied and pasted from the OO Forums. I haven't verified them, so not sure how accurate the numbers are. But, if the numbers are true, the voting results are really screwed up. This is a county Kerry won, btw.

For municipalities without wards, please refer to the contest of interest on the canvass report. so I'll do that with your cookie places.
Issue #42, the Highland Hills Village charter amendment, shows 289 yes or no votes recorded in their tally.
Woodmere (VIL): 558 registered voters; 8,854 ballots cast (Oh no, wait! SIXTEEN TIMES! You get a cookie, too!)
Issue #110, the Woodmere Village proposed ordinance, shows 287 yes or no votes recorded in their tally.

Oh wait, the school levy went down in flaming defeat. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Edit: And here, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/cuyahoga/1100082911218052.xml
The problem stems from an election canvassing report posted on the county's Web site, where the number of "ballots cast" in several suburbs exceeds the number of registered voters.
For example, the documents suggest that 13,939 ballots were cast in Beachwood, though only 9,943 voters are registered there.
But county officials say that's not how the data should be read. The "ballots cast" is not a reflection of the votes within a city's borders; the numbers also include votes in the congressional and legislative districts that overlap with the cities.
I'll admit that explanation confuses me. Does that mean that the ballot totals of City X were added to the totals of every other town in the same congressional district?
Either way, the Plain Dealer says it's nothing to worry about.
