ABC News, 2004.11.02: "Concern over possibly fraudulent voting machines in Philadelphia arose when two voting machines showed hundreds of votes already registered by the time voting stations opened. But Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham inspected the two machines and said the confusion stemmed from the fact that one counter on the machine records the total number of votes ever cast, while another tallies the day's votes. The day's vote counter began at zero, she said. Still, Republican officials point out that Abraham is a Democrat and say they may go to court to have the machines impounded."
