E-Voting Glitch: 19,000 Voters, 144,000 Votes

Posted by timothy on from the that's-some-glitch dept.

nick_davison writes "The Indianapolis Star is reporting the latest case of 'interesting' E-voting results. Tuesday's Boone County election, using MicroVote software returned 144,000 votes from 19,000 registered voters. After much panicking and tracking down the bug, the actual number of votes turned out as 5,352. With yet another mistake, does anyone still trust closed-source electronic voting?"

    The war's over folks. It's going to be small skirmishes and other assorted problems from here. The end is all that matters, the means can be ignored. Expect a similar path as we're taking in Iraq...

    the parent is absolutely right! under no circumstances are we to create lots of minimum wage temp jobs! it would be against the spirit of everything the current administration has done to slash the number of jobs in favor of outsorcing and general fuckuping.
