Voting machines mentally molest voters, cause them to turn violent. The APA says so, even if they didn't. Hooah!

Sorry, had to do it. Couldn't hold it in. :)

Seriously, they need to go back to the paper ballots. Electronic voting machines really suck.

Michigan just switched back to paper ballots. Kind of irritating really, but I understand the need.

Maybe he got mad that he kept trying to choose "Democrat", and the machine would go "I think you meant.... Republican." ;)

Just finished watching "Hack the Vote (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7236791207107726851&sourceid=docidfeed&hl=en-CA)"

It is to be expected... I just hope more people start doing that, so they'll switch back to good old PAPER, which is pretty safe and rather cheap, if you look at it this way. In Quebec, in a recent partial election, about 1/4 of the electronic voting machines were not working correctly, so that goes to show how efficient those are.

Maybe this was his way of voting "None of the Above."

Electronic Voting could be WAY more efficient but neither party really wants to invest money into developing it... i think accurate vote counting is more of an anathema than stem cell research and abortion combined.

I'll reiterate my previous post, it's not in either parties best interest for votes to be counted accurately.

As many problems as there were with voting machines yesterday, I'm surprised no one complained that upon making a choice, the machine spit out a drink or a snack.

Well who would complain about that? it makes up for all the vending machines that cast a ballot for the green party instead of giving you a Dr. Pepper.

Are you sure you didn't watch The Daily Show last night? They had a report on the electronic voting machines and one was a vending machine.
