And supposedly it's not that hard to cheat:

(haven't watched it yet)

I also heard that Hillary attorneys were trying to kick out Obama and Paul supporters who were hanging around to keep an eye on things where people vote. A lot of candidates have people count things on the side to make sure there is no fraud like this... perfectly OK. But I suppose that's just a rumor as of now.

You can't trust the voting system anymore. With just a few codes and a simple click you could completly change the ballots to whatever you want.

Breaking: It appears that this is pretty serious and the chance of a recount is likely. I don't expect you to find a solid source yet, this is coming in within the hour.

From last night I heard at least this:
Paul and Obama (and a little bit of the others) had less votes than they should have.
Romney had too many.

I would guess Hillary too...? I don't know. I suppose this is all still in the rumor stage, but there have been some reports on it. ABC/boston.com, etc. We'll see what happens...

edit: In case you were wondering it does cost money for a recount. I heard it was 65000 or 12000... not sure. If it's 12000, over 200 people have already raised enough (in two days).

edit2: Forgot to mention something: check the front page of digg (atm). Link to demonstration on how one person can hack a machine (fyi, I haven't watched it yet).
