Florida to Scrap Touch Screen Voting?
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."
Darn Republicans! Always trying to steal elections by demanding paper recountable ballots!
Now if only they can convince the Democrats on the election boards in Palm Beach and Broward Counties to go along with them....
The party of stupid and the party of evil get together and do something both stupid and evil, then call it bipartisan.
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.
See what happens when you finally get rid of Jeb Bush.
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.
