TEXAS MACHINE COUNT ADDS 100,000 VOTES TO TOTAL

By TPR

JIM DRINKARD, USA TODAY WASHINGTON ­ Problems using voting machines in the Texas and Illinois primaries this month have reinforced fears that the 2006 elections may be beset with glitches. "There's a lot of evidence that some of those fears are coming to pass," says Doug Chapin, president of Electionline, a non-partisan group that studies elections. . .
 
In Texas, a candidate for the state Supreme Court will contest the March 7 primary because of what he calls widespread problems using new machines. In Fort Worth, an initial ballot count showed about 150,000 votes even though there were only one-third that many voters, says David Rogers, campaign manager for the candidate, Steve Smith. And in San Angelo, balky new equipment and a close local race led to a recount that was halted after it appeared some votes were missing.
