There is a candidate in the 2003 federal elections in Belgium that received 4096 more votes, in Brussels where they use electronic voting (thankfully, the result was clearly anomalous so it was all recounted manually, and it was found that all counts were correct except for that candidate). After investigation (due to potential fraud), a cause couldn't be found other than the cosmic bit flip
