E-voting Trials and Tribulations
Alex Susor writes "This article is about the new digital touch screen voting system in Georgia, the first state in the nation to adopt this method of voting statewide. Demonstration machines were set up at the recent primaries to teach voters about the new system (to be in place for the November general election) and had some big problems." Compare and contrast to systems in Florida and Germany.
Compare and contrast to systems in Florida and Germany
Germany = state of the art open source based system
Florida = unauditable mystery box system
No surprises here, I would expect such systems in America's 'joke' puppet government owned by corporations verse Europe's 'real' and refined governments.

"The newspapers' review also discovered that canvassing boards in Palm Beach and Broward counties threw out hundreds of ballots that had marks that were no different from ballots deemed to be valid."
"The papers concluded that Gore would be in the White House today if those ballots had been counted."
You were saying what about people reading more?
What this article does a good job of hiding is that out of the 11 manual count scenarios(differing standards for chads and whatnot), Gore wins in 9 of them. The 2 that Bush wins, and that the media focused nearly exclusively on, required that only part of the state be manually counted.
Oh, and then we have another outright lie from Racciott.
"He won the first count, then the recount, then the manual recounts, and was declared the victor this time by the media."
The manual recounts were never carried out thanks to the USSC. In addition, many Florida counties never carried out the mandatory recount. And I've already addressed the recount bit here. Sorry, but repeating that little tagline over and over doesn't make it true.
