Florida as the Next Florida
by k at 12:02 pm EST, Mar 15, 2004

"Florida now has 'the very best' technology available," Florida's secretary of state declared on CNN. Hours later, results in Bay County showed that with more than 60 percent of precincts reporting, Richard Gephardt, who long before had pulled out of the presidential race, was beating John Kerry by two to one.

There were, no doubt, other mishaps that did not come to light because of the stunning lack of transparency around voting in the state. When a Times editorial writer dropped in on one Palm Beach precinct where there were reports of malfunctioning machines, county officials called the police to remove him.

[ Problems were reported in MD, CA and GA as well, and that's just from major media. eVoting systems are broken. Period. -k]
