Re: US Election
by Simon at 11:26 06/11/04 (Blogs::Simon)
From a Wired story:

There were also problems with machines that counted absentee ballots in Florida. Software made by Election Systems & Software began subtracting votes when totals surpassed 32,000. Officials said the problem affected only certain countywide races on one of the last pages of the ballot. Elections officials knew about the problem two years ago, but the company failed to fix the software before the election this year.

...32765, 32766, 32767, -32768, -32767, -32766...

...signed integer overflow, anyone?
