Ditto with election results in Florida's Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, which are Democratic bastions. Broward County may go for Bush.

Just heard on NBC that there is a huge computer software problem in one of the Bush counties in Florida. The machine itself is giving a different number of voters than the software program says came from that machine. Votes may have been lost.
I seriously questioned the logic when I heard that some states had computer voting with NO paper backup. It would be so easy to vote online, then print the ballot and put it in a box in case of a computer glitch.
Then in Ohio... some of the machines with punch cards got so full of chads that you couldn't punch it through.
WHY IS ANYBODY STILL USING PUNCH CARDS?????

That's how it was for the voting machines in Fairfax County, Virginia... it was mechanical, but tabulation results were generated on paper tape and sent with the poll registration book after the vote was called in.
