But the machine is still the middleman between the button you push and the ink on the paper. As you leave the polls, how can you be sure what was actually written down?
It's naive to think that neither candidate understands this- right now they're just trying to get elected. McCain's pandering to the lowest common denominator (drill more!) and now Obama's resorted to a similar tactic after watching his numbers slip. Give it a few years, people will figure it out eventually. Hopefully.

There was only one abstainer, Chambliss (R-GA). Every Democrat voted and voted aye.
