Touch Screens: Functioning As They Were Designed
by Buck • 9:57 am

Yep, they sure did!

A team of university computer experts who examined the machines after the election suggested the problem was voter confusion over a poorly designed ballot that had drawn complaints from voters. The District 13 race was listed at the top of the second page of the ballot without the same type of header that preceded other races on the ballot.

“GAO acknowledges the possibility that the large undervote in Florida’s 13th Congressional District race could have been caused by factors such as voters who intentionally undervoted or voters who did not properly cast their ballots on the (voting machines), potentially because of issues relating to interaction between voters and ballot,” the government report said.

Does it matter whether undervoting was caused by a faulty machine or a “poorly designed ballot”? The fact remains… there was undervoting! Are republicans that hard-up for power that they’re happy to accept that so many voices weren’t heard on that day? Are they really that thrilled that democracy got thrown under the bus?

If republicans were TRUE Americans, they would want all votes to be counted. But they don’t. And they’re not. And they sicken me.
