Interesting questions about elections
  From the Brian Heins article, two votes separate the two candidates. Per another article referenced from Salem Reporter, County Clerk Bill Burgess said there were 74 ballots with signature issues (did not match file one, or ballot not signed), and that all votes had been contacted by mail if they wanted to correct them.
    How many ballots in the election had issues?
    What other issues besides signature problems could cause a ballot to not be counted?
    Are voters contacted when there is an issue if it is not a signature issue?
  How is the voter registration database managed?
  How are voters eliminated from the voting rolls?
