New Mexico Touchscreen Voting Problems

Posted by michael on from the prelude-to-the-recount dept.

phr1 writes "The Albuquerque Journal reports yet more hassles with electronic voting machines. Early voters pressing the Kerry button have repeatedly found the machine instead putting a check mark next to 'Bush'. The operators of course say it's the voters' fault. It would be just too unfortunate if the machines happened to systematically favor one candidate over the other, heh, heh."

    What a surprise

    Frankly, I'm shocked. I am beside myself in outrage. It is unfathomable to me that Slashdot would ever post a story with a misleading abstract.

    I think this is going to permanently tarnish Slashdot's reputation of fair, honest and unbiased reporting.
