More and more voting errors related to new electronic voting machines (or new devices that count optical votes) throughout the nation. In this one case, a "computer glitch" caused an error giving each voting precinct the exact number (300) of registered voters.

www.michigancityin.com LaPORTE - The day after a two-and-a-half-hour delay in counting ballots due to a glitch in a computer program, LaPorte County election officials are still trying to figure out what happened. "Maybe there was a power surge," LaPorte County Clerk Lynne Spevak said. "Something zapped it." At about 7 p.m. Tuesday, it was noticed that the first two or three printouts from individual precinct reports all listed an identical number of voters. Each precinct was listed as having 300 registered voters.

Sooner or later, someone will compile a master list of all these anomalies.

I'm showing that we're paying attention to all areas of error or problems, not just where Bush came out ahead. The entire system needs to be closely examined, not just the areas that serve one goal over another.

It would be nice if we could get past the partisan mentality and look at the real issue. Errors in e-voting is a serious concern for all parties involved and should be investigated. Seriously, does anyone not find it odd that votes cannot be validated through any sort of redundancy plan beyond checking the memory logs? There is no paper trail and it is entirely left up to the machine to provide validation. This is just wrong on so many levels. That's like depositing money into a bank without getting a receipt. "Just take my "word"...you have been counted".
