You can't even count this as clerical error unless you are willing to use grossly incompetent accounting practices.
Republicans use them all the time. Remember back few years, the guy in charge of the Party's finances was convicted of stealing massive amounts from the Party? he was largely able to do so because the party had rejected all sorts of standard accounting procedures.
Same thing when the Republican official blew all that money at strip clubs. No one was keeping track.
It could be just general stupidity on the part of Republicans, but, my feeling is that that like to keep things loose and with no oversite because they ALL steal and go to strip clubs on the donor's dime.
That's why we have grifters like Gingrich and Palin doing so well with Republicans. Grifting is the whole culture. And, why not? When you have dozens of billionaires throwing money at you? I'd probably be grabbing it with both fists, too.
Creationism in the schools? Sure, sure. I'll need another couple million for my institute to get some studies and press releases going. Oh, and I could use another mill to throw into the anti-gay campaign. We need to lease a private jet to get to all the venues.
Given that culture, it doesn't surprise me at all that Republicans don't have anyone who can do an honest count.
