Brandon: The problem with electronic voting machines.
Personally, I think that it really can't be *that* hard to create them. They are just as tamper-proof as paper voting, anyway.
Where I voted, they didn't even know who cast what vote. You checked in, got a blue slip of paper, and then the voting people swiped a smart-card and logged the machine on. That kind of disturbed me, the fact that I have no real idea if my vote was cast properly or not, and there is no way to do a recount with those things.
It doesn't really matter, what matters is that I tried. I went out and voted like a good citizen. So what if Bush won, I voiced my opinion.

At one point there was a bit of lag moving from one page to the next, and the Windows hourglass showed up. I was half hoping to see a blue screen, just so I could say I crashed a voting machine, but no dice.
