Exclusive: PA's Primary Results Website Listed Obama Three Times, With Three Differing Totals on Election Night
Oddity, Which Applied Only to Obama, Never Occurred Before, Remains Unexplained, But 'Didn't Make a Difference' in Final Results, According to State Official Who Confirmed the Anomaly...Early on election night last Tuesday, with just 18.07% of the unofficial returns from the Pennsylvania Primary in, astute BRAD BLOG reader Matt Sircely (who was aware enough to save off the HTML page locally!) noticed the following oddity on the official Dept. of State website results page...

The problem did not occur for any other candidate, as seen on the full web page, which was noticed early in the evening, and saved locally by the alert reader.

Today, Sircely called the PA Dept. of State to try and get an explanation of what caused the problem seen above (audio from call is posted at the end of the previous link article)...

bd: I guess these 90 absentee ballots bothered these people so much, with all the stuff going on with the election and other things, they had the time to fight counting these 90 ballots! This seems awfully strange to me! A lot of time put in by a lot of people...to make sure 90 absentee ballots that came in BEFORE the election were not counted! Am I missing something here? These 90 ballots really bothered these people!!! Didn't they???
