WTHR Indianapolis 07 November 2007
Marion County - Thousands of votes in Marion County have yet to be counted after some technical problems at the polls in Tuesday's election. The main issue is with the computer memory cards that record ballot tallies. In some cases, the cards went missing or the workers weren't sure how to take them out.  Election workers began with 30 cards unaccounted for, but that number was down to less than half of that by noon. The number of cards unaccounted for this year is fewer than in the 2006 election.
