States throw out costly electronic voting machines

States throw out costly electronic voting machines
"After the disputed 2000 presidential recount, Congress provided more than $3 billion to replace punch card and lever-operated machines. State officials across the country said the new systems would eliminate human error and political tampering.
But problems with the machines soon followed: vanishing votes, breakdowns, malfunctions and increasing evidence that the devices were vulnerable to hackers."

Hmm. The old machines worked fine, except for the chad/democrat idiots in Palm Beach.
So the feds drop billions on the states.... and everything is worse.

Anyone sensing a pattern here...... ?
