Just some random stuff:
…Touch-screen machines have problems of their own, as another Florida election vividly illustrated last January. In a local election held on January 6th in parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, 10,844 votes were cast, and Ellyn Bogdanoff won by 12 votes. Under Florida state law, a result this close triggers a manual recount. But no recount was possible, because there was nothing to count: the voting machines’ only paper output is the final tally.
Check out the freely downloadable 30 minute version of the “Votergate” film, from the film group responsible for “Outfoxed”. (votergate.org is a different thing) It has woman behind “black box voting” teaching Howard Dean how to hack a machine that can be singularly responsible for 100,000’s or millions of votes, etc.
