Er, maybe this leap of faith at the heart of the article is wrong. Maybe the ACLU is saying that voting machines where the voter punches the card (as opposed to machine-punched) are more prone to inaccuracy or holes not being punched.
Note, this isn't what happened in Florida - that was dem's stuffing too many cards in the machines. And I hate the ACLU just as much as the next guy. But this article seems flawed.
Then the ACLU should have said so. What it said indicated precisely what the article's "leap of faith" implied: Liberal Hypocrisy in its most common everyday form.
