Here's a heartwarming tale. Forida decides that the e-voting was a mistake and goes back to optical votes:
Rumor has it that Florida governor Charlie Crist will announce tomorrow that his state plans to scrap tens of millions of dollars worth of touchscreen voting equipment and move to a system based completely on optical scan ballots. The Miami Herald claims that the total tab for overhauling the state's electoral system could be as high as $35 million.They made a mistake and now they're paying for it. Hopefully, the cost will make them think twice before adopting a voting system that was proven again and again to be worthless.
