Who Needs Hanging Chads When You Have Computers?
It appears that hanging bites will be the issue in the Florida election this year.
[Susan] Bucher [Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections] said Palm Beach’s optical scan election system had – unbeknownst to anyone-mixed up the race results. As a result, the wrong winners and losers were called.
And Bucher says the very same thing could happen in the presidential election.
“You know the first thing that they tell you is you’re going to scare the voters,” Bucher said. “Well you know what… we’re scared too.”
Me, too.
Thanks to Fenway Fran for the heads up.
