Last year, Ohio produced a 1,000-page report cataloging a host of problems with the state's voting machines. Since then, a glitch blamed on conflicts with anti-virus software initially caused hundred of votes to be dropped as they were uploaded to tallying servers.
Sooo funny! They even quote the same comic as HM.. brilliant.

Typical. Here McAfee was doing its job, dumping votes for the wrong candidates, and everybody gets upset.

I love this part.

Of course, finding a buyer for thousands of bulky machines that have been judged buggy and insecure may not be so easy. AP reports that some states have resorted to peddling the devices on sites like eBay or Craigslist, while others are hoping to unload them on developing nations.
Maybe the one thing we got right in Iraq was purple fingers and paper ballots.
