A lot of people seem to forget the WA State 2004 gubernatiorial race between Rossi/Gregoire. He led after Election Night and two recounts. Then, somehow "votes appeared" and she won. This is why people don't like recounts. The INTEGRITY is always in question.
I mean, isn't that why we do recounts?
If the election isn't close, then it doesn't really matter if a few ballots get misplaced or rejected for some reason. The 2004 WA gubernatorial race was extremely close (Rossi won by only 42 votes after the automatic recount). After the recount, "votes appeared" for both candidates (748 new votes for Rossi and 919 for Gregoire).
