In the Netherlands we just had an election for chairman of the labour party.
The supposed winner and anti-war candidate lost miracoulusly. The press had to wait 4 hours for the results "due to a technical computer-error" . This reminds me of the results in one of the Ron Paul strawpolls. (Witch one was it?)

A newsarticle (http://www.nisnews.nl/public/250907_1.htm) says:

The election result was only announced yesterday evening around 8 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. The party had had to send the press away from the official presentation in Amsterdam in the late afternoon because the votes could not initially be counted "due to a technical error".

How to prevent voting irregularities when it matters...?

The cool thing about the election system in the US is that it is decentralized. Many counties still use the "check the box" system. Things don't look too good in Ohio...

You might find the link below, regarding the discrepency between exit polling and the outcome of the 2004 Presidential election, to be of interest, albeit a bit long (about 11 pages).
