Florida Voting Machine Replacement

February 6, 2007 | ISSUE 43•06

Florida Governor Charlie Crist recently requested $32 million to replace touch-screen voting booths adopted after the 2000 elections with a system that leaves a paper trail. What do you think?

For another $10 million he could probably get rid of voting in Florida altogether.

This is ridiculous. Voters should just send an e-card to the candidate of their choice. Then, the candidates can simply count their e-cards, and compare.

When the candidate I voted for loses, the last thing I want is a record to remind me.
