How? The answer is simple, the poll workers did not tell the voter they did not press the BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON at the top of the pad. It is not a touch screen button it is a 1 inch oval at the top of the screen.

It is impossible to MISS the BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON.

There was pathetic turnout for this odd day election.

There is no reason for someone not to have noticed the BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON.

The purpose of the workers is to make sure this does not happen their job includes looking for the BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON.


Granted these 134 people are wrong for not noticing the BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON.

but it is not difficult because once you see the final page with the person you vogted for, it does look like you have finished. Except for that BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON.

Too bad there is no hardcopy.

Prepare the court hearings. 134 votes would have made the difference.


BRIGHT FLASHING LIT RED BUTTON.

I take it you've visited Broward and Palm Beach counties and noticed the "true blue Democrats."

The red button was confusing; the voters were expecting a "true blue" button ;-)

After reading your post, I get the feeling that there's some button I'm supposed to press or something? Is it the green one???? :-)

I once designed and built a machine for which my company did not provide on site installation. The customer called me up after receiving the unit and having it connected up for power, water, exhaust, etc., and said he could not get it to turn on. After asking if he was sure electrical power had been run to the unit, was the breaker in his panelboard turned on, etc., and being assured that all was well, I was stumped. I finally gave up and explicitly asked him if he had tried pressing the large lighted green button labeled "START", to which he replied "What button?". ;-)
