Indiana’s 144,000

 000, 144

The results of the election in Boone County, Indiana, are in: all 144,000 votes were automatically counted on the county’s new computerized voting terminals. There’s just one little problem: Boone County has less than 19,000 registered voters, and only 5,352 of them showed up to vote.

When County Clerk Lisa Garofolo saw the numbers, “I about had a heart attack,” she said. “Believe me, there was nobody more shook up than I was.”
