Florida (duh) is embroiled in a controversy right now because the non-direct-recording electronic voting machines in use in the state violate the state statute requiring something which can be independently recounted -- Miami/Dade has outlawed touchscreens, falling back on scantrons which *can* be counted by hand, if necessary.
A *whole lot* of people (hopefully including ex-Sarasote stripper and US Senatorial candidate Katherine Harris) are gonna lose their jobs this year...
