So does that mean that those 19,000 votes have been counted?

Here in Tennessee we had a snafu with the Motor/Voter thing... when you renew your driver's license, you can register to vote at the same time. Very handy for new residents. You check a little box on the application. But apparently you're supposed to fill out some forms or something. Anyway a whole bunch of people in Davidson County thought they were registered to vote because they checked the little box... but they weren't, since they hadn't filled out the papers too.

The Election Commission, realizing what was happening ON ELECTION DAY, kept their doors open until 7pm to register people and let them vote there (which doesn't usually happen). Several people did not make it there in time and were not able to vote.
