Well we got it wrong this time no matter who won. Or maybe we got it right. At least there were no tanks in the streets.

What should be obvious (and I keep saying this) is that the punch card machines need to go the way of the Edsel. We use them here and they are certainly well proven to be fallible after this latest mess in Florida. since the high court has jumped all over states rights now, it would seem to be a good time to mandate different machines.

There are plenty of them out there and several are about as accurate as you can get on a mass scale. Why not just subsidize the purchase through the Federal government so that all precincts have reliable equipment? I'm sure there are any number of idiots who will stand up and say, "The Feds can't do that! Its the right of the people of the state to choose to squander their votes by using machines that are pieces of shit!"

I think it would be a small price to pay to eliminate this shinola in the future. What really makes us look ridiculous here is that in the most technologically advanced country on earth, we're using such antiquated technology to vote.
