No Hand Counting of Electronic Votes

Posted by pudge on from the score-one-for-sanity dept.

In the Washington state gubernatorial election, the hand recount has begun, and Snohomish County -- which had nearly 100K votes cast on Sequoia electronic voting machines -- won't have to print up and count them all by hand, as had been previously thought by county officials. Instead, they will print up the totals from each of the 937 machines, and compare those to the grand total. (The statewide hand recount is expected to complete before Christmas, modulo court challenges.)

    ...modulo court challenges.)

    2/3 of Slashdot just had their eyes glaze over at the sight of weird computer speak.

    The other 1/3 is still trying to figure out what the result of that function would be. Is it a function? What were the parameters again? Dammit.
