Voting Machines Routinely Failing Nationwide

palegray.net writes "Voting machines in several critical swing states are causing major problems for voters.

How long can we afford to trust our elections to black box voting practices? From the article: 'In Colorado, 20,000 left polling places without voting in 2006 because of crashed computer registration machines and long lines. And this election day, Colorado will have another new registration system.'"
