"Odd vote results point to mix-ups at some precincts"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer offers this report, which begins: " The election results tabulated from the two precincts at Benedictine High School seemed off-kilter from the start. Had more than a third of the 1,000-plus voters at the East Side school really embraced the ideals of Michael Peroutka, the candidate of the Constitution Party, and Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik? Could 215 people have voted for Peroutka in a precinct that delivered 299 votes for John Kerry? Did Badnarik win 164 votes to Kerry's 334 in the precinct that was in the same room?"
