Florida E-Voting Machine Fails

cmason32 writes "An optical voting machine memory card failed earlier today in Daytona Beach, Florida, sending election officials scrambling to secure the 13,000 paper receipts. Without the paper ballots, all 13,000 votes would have been lost. Considering how close some predict this election to be, losing that many ballots would be catastrophic. Let's hope that we won't see any more of this in the next 24 hours, and that these problems are fixed before 2006."

I didn't say it was insignifigant, I said it would be unlikely to change the outcome. Apparently your sarcastic spin on what I said is insightful, while my perfectly reasonable assessment of the situation was "Flamebait" though.
