But despite the media blackout, indications continued to emerge that something deeply troubling had taken place in 2004. Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad [3] never received their ballots - or received them too late to vote [4] - after the Pentagon unaccountably shut down a state-of-the-art Web site used to file overseas registrations. [5] A consulting firm called Sproul & Associates, which was hired by the Republican National Committee to register voters in six battleground states, [6] was discovered shredding Democratic registrations. [7] In New Mexico, which was decided by 5,988 votes, [8] malfunctioning machines mysteriously failed to properly register a presidential vote on more than 20,000 ballots. [9] Nationwide, according to the federal commission charged with implementing election reforms, as many as 1 million ballots were spoiled by faulty voting equipment - roughly one for every 100 cast.
