I'm as much of a technology geek as anyone, but c'mon... If we're going to use it for something as cirtical as voting, let's make sure it works first, OK?

| About 13,000 ballots were removed from an early-voting site in Daytona Beach, Fla., Monday and rushed to a secure vault in Deland after an optical scan machine failed, according to Local 6 News.
Local 6 News has learned that a memory card, on the machine failed and all 13,000 votes must be recounted. A computer error is to blame for the failure of the memory card which records the voting data, Local 6 News reported. When the error was discovered Monday, representatives from both parties were notified. Both sides then witnessed the removal of the ballots and their storage in the vault. The canvassing board will meet Monday to discuss how to recount the ballots |
Tip of the hat to Kos for this one.
