Unfortunately, I have no answers to the problem cited in this story. I am, however, very concerned with what has been going on in American elections in the past few cycles--false registrations, illegal voters, etc.
Hot Air reported Saturday on two new voting machines found in Buffalo, New York. In a different incident, the article reports:
"This story is hardly the only report of problems. Ed Morrissey previously reported on broad problems with the Tim Bishop race in Long Island where a hand recount produced a startlingly different total than the optical scan machines recorded. In other precincts we saw reports of delays in getting counts out and candidates suddenly doing surprisingly well in areas where they had been consistently polling weakly."
This is disturbing. We have seen similar incidents on Massachusetts where when a recount for a state office was done, eighteen votes simply disappeared. I hope that sometime in the very near future we can create a more reliable vote audit trail.
