Just one more example of shoddy programming and design on these voting machines. | ||||

But to your point, yes I still think electronic voting machines need alot of improvement. There were many instances of confusion, problems, machines not working, etc. That should be avoided at all costs. | ||||

we need a total investigation, i will be sorely disappointed if we don't have some sort of evaluation by the Dem House and Dem Senate of the electronic machines, and after that, a retest, then changes, etc and hopefully they can be a lot more secure and reliable by 2008 | ||||

| I have no idea why Cuyahoga County always fumbles up their elections. The machines are very simple to use, both from a voter perspective and a poll worker perspective (I worked the polls yesterday in my home town). Well, I actually do understand it. Cuyahoga County is one of the most beaurocratic, corrupt, worthless counties in the country, and I'm sure their poll workers are pretty much morons. That's the only thing I can think of. | ||||

the problem in Cuyahoga County is that the whole board of elections there is completely inept, their training sucks, and then they fuck up every election the state might have to take over their elections just like they did their schools  | ||||
