Can you figure out this one?

From the Washington Post of October 26, 2004:

Republicans have pointed to what they contend is widespread evidence of fraud in voter registration. Making the rounds on the Sunday talk shows, for instance, Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie pointed out that in Franklin County, the latest Census shows there are more registered voters than there are age-eligible residents.
From a report offered today by an Ohio NBC affiliate:

An electronic voting machine error gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in a suburban precinct, elections officials said.

Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democratic challenger John Kerry's 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct.

Bush actually received 365 votes in the precinct, said Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of Elections.
First Ed complains about granting voting rights to invisible men -- and then those invisible men multiply and vote for Bush! Even Rod Serling would've been creeped out by Franklin County...
