Reports from voters in Florida and Ohio also indicated that some of them had problems voting for the candidate of their choice. When they tried to vote for John Kerry, they said, the machine either wouldn't register the vote at all or would indicate on the review page that the vote was cast for Bush instead.

P&N?

 

[flawlssdistortn]

don't bother, we've seen this crap a hundred times already.

 

[flawlssdistortn]

Geez, this stuff is actually spilling over to OT from P&N. This forum's goin to the crapper ever since the election.

We'll never know for sure what they did since there's no paper trail to follow..

 

[Tremulant]

They must have fat fingers then. I voted in FL and it was a touch screen type machine and you had to apply moderate pressure for it to register (I guess to avoid mis-votes). So.. I'm guessing that if they mis-voted, then it was probably their own fault.

You mean that wasn't SUPPOSED to happen?

/thumbs through the spec sheet for the voter software

Yeah, right here: "All candidate selections for President must register with a vote for Bush." Page 426.

Every time we idiot proof something, Florida builds better idiots.

It was my prediction that Floridians would be in the news wearing their stupidity like a badge of honor again... and it looks like I was right.
