Disenfranchised

I'm sure that by now everyone has heard that Florida still can't count votes. The Miami Herald's local section is the place to read up on the SNAFU. "Leahy blames unskilled workers" offers a glimpse into how our fancy new electronic voting machines are supposed to work, and the safeguards they provide to prevent a loss of votes. Unfortunately it seems that operator error is prevalent, and the automated vote tabulation process doesn't validate the data received. Garbage in, garbage out.
