E-voting error in California

A number of software errors exist in the Global Election Management System (GEMS) voting system (version 1.18.19), from Premier Election Solutions. A “Deck Zero” error led to 179 tallied ballots inadvertently being deleted from initial results in the November 4, 2008 election in California.
