5,000 votes stuck in Knoxville

Looks like we get our share of voting machine madness: Knoxville has 5,000 votes locked inside one machine. According to WBIR, the folks in charge of counting the votes are getting an expert to fly down here and somehow extract the information. Unfortunately, I have no idea who the manufacturer is. Could it be Diebold, makers of the majority of new, electronic systems?

The real point is-- we won't know until tomorrow what the final count is. These are early votes too, from the Downtown West location. 5,000 votes, that could mean all kinds of things! Exciting and frustrating at the same time...
