Florida Literally Scraps Touch-Screen Voting

Posted by kdawson on from the do-not-want dept.

Kaseijin writes "Florida Governor Charlie Crist is getting his wish. The New York Times reports the state will replace touch-screen voting machines with optical-scan models by July 1, 2008 — the most aggressive timetable of any jurisdiciton rethinking this approach to voting. The touch-screen machines most likely will be sold to other jurisdictions or stripped for parts."

    Stripped for parts? Am I the only one thinking there won't be much of a demand for those? :/
