This is troubling, but as noted, it could not have changed anything.

What if it was a close race, and decided the election though?

This kind of stuff seemd to happen all the time in US elections. Nothing out of the ordinary.

We need better election processes in this country. In 2000, Florida wasn't the only state that Bush was incorrectly leading in a week after the election. The statewide recount in New Mexico was not blocked by 5 Republican hacks on SCOTUS, so they caught the mistake.

BTW, it took 13 years, but Justice O'Connor finally realized that appointing Bush President was a bad idea.

THat last linked article is one of the most attrocious I have ever seen. The court's job is not to side with a gun law because it is reasonable or to side with workers on campaign finance, which are either subjective or political in nature. It is there to interpret what is legal and what is not. Framing it in political terms only serves to encourage not reduce the very problem wtih the court that the left claims was present in Bush v. Gore, that of politicized nature of the court. Apparently, it is only politicized when it sides against what Rosenthal seems to like.

There is a second thread for this?  Weird.

Looking at the Election Results on this website:

Definitely looks like this wouldn'tve helped Obama or John Gregg.  Donnelly beat Moreduck by almost 150,000 votes so it wouldn't even benefit the Republicans.  Congressional Results seem to verify no adverse outcome either:

So yes, in this case as the article says that the votes didn't seem to have that much of an effect on the race.  However, it should still be alarming that votes would go undiscovered for this long.  I mean, what if somebody finds those missing Nixon votes in Aurora?  Our timeline could be in jeopardy!

Anyway, that's my two cents.  All the races that happened in that district were pretty well decided, regardless of how the 3,700 people voted.  Even if 100% of them voted one way or the other it wouldn't affect the election.  Romney would still win Indiana, the nameless GOP congressman would've still gotten re-elected, Joe Donnelly would still wipe the floor with Moreduck, the results wouldn'tve stopped the overwhelming GOPslide in the state legislature, Mike Pence would still become Governor, and Greg Zoeller would still be Attorney General.

With that said, imagine if these 3700 votes were missing from Columbus County, North Carolina.. . . . . . . . .
