Florida Ruling May Lead To E-voting Paper Trail

Posted by timothy on from the plain-language-of-the-law dept.

dorkus123 points out this Palm Beach Post story which begins "An administrative law judge over-ruled an administrative decision Friday that the 15 counties that use touch-screen voting systems must be able to perform manual recounts in extremely close elections." Prior to this, counties using touch-screen voting were exempt from a requirement requiring that certified voting machines be amenable to manual recounts. wierzpio adds a link to the AP's similar story.

  1. Messing with election results - Capital punishment by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Is it only me, who chokes when you hear all these attempts how politicians, judges try to load the dice during elections in the U.S.A. - which is supposedly the World #1 Democracy?

    Maybe messing with election results should finally be a crime, with mandatory capital punishment, for a while. Until the Bush clan is finished, at least.

    Can someone bring this up at the Republican Convention, please?
