Surprise! More ballot trouble in Florida

I remember in 2000 when there was so much trouble with the "hanging chad" ballots, etc. and the obvious, yet horribly flawed, solution to the problem was to computerize the voting process. I remembered thinking then what a terrible idea this was, knowing full well how unreliable and flaky computers can be, and thinking to myself how scary it will be to have a "fully digital" election procedure where there is absolutely no tangible physical eveidence to verify the election itself.

Well, guess what? They put computers in the polls and the election is still fucked up - at least the primaries are.

Progress. Computers can fix anything.

Without the ballot itself, all you need to control an election is acess to the database, or to the person who controls it.

That's Jeb Bush country.Don't know much about him but i'll guess he's a screw-up too.Although Jeb's daughter is cool with her prescription stea;ing cocaine addicted self.He should win father of the year.Naw brother George should for raising two underage alcoholic daughters(and you wonder why this country is having problems).

Yeah, I wonder how zealous he'll be in his pursuit of minimum sentence guidlines for drug offenders. I'm guessing...oh...probably not very aggressive.

Reno is already talking about challenging the voting results here. Now, how do we do that in the digital age, and. perhaps more importantly, who will do it and with who's money?

Jeb Bush(Dumbya's brother) is the governor of Florida.That explains everything.He will do everything in his power to make sure that elections in Florida are always screwed up,in order to benefit the Republican Party.Wait until the next presidential election.
