Florida to Scrap Touch Screen Voting?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the dangling-chads dept.

AlHunt writes "Florida Governor Charlie Crist is calling on the Florida Legislature to spend $30M to replace the troublesome touch screen voting machines with an optical scan system that allows a voter to mark an oval next to a candidate's name before slipping a ballot into an electronic reader."

    Teh 3v1l "Dubya" had nothing to do with people's lack of confidence in electronic voting. The MEDIA, whiner-baby Democrats, and conspiracy theorists did. They all charged around like drunken rhinoceros, bellowing loudly, waiving their appendages, and making *lots* of accusations that were never proven aside from a few minor cases.

    No, "Dubya" had nothing to do with it.

      I am getting sick of *cough*democrats*cough* always complaining about voting systems. They will never be happy with any system that is used.

    I think Electoral College should be unrestricted. It's really them who elect officials. State laws always make them vote with the people. They should vote however they choose.
