when it became clear that they were in a problem area.
 The first 2 counties listed above had Kerry gains of 0.5% and 0.3% (of the original total), while the extrapolation of the 3rd indicates that they would have found a 7.7% gain for Kerry had they continued counting. I don't know how the scan ballots would be sorted so that 60% was NOT a random sample. I think they have presented a smoking gun, and called it an alibi!
