The State has checked the machines and did not find a problem....The same machines where used in other parts of the state and no problem....The under votes were simply folks turned off by the election on both individuals part.....They simply did not want to vote for either....Yet for Her it is still not enough...She is planning on taking it to the Democratic controlled congress and get them to mandate another election in our district.....They only want that in Sarasota....Sounds like Gore to me........

You said that there were a state check on the systems of some sort. Are you aware that they don't really check?

To really check a machine, it must be possible to ensure that all code and parameters used by the machine are the "official" versions, and that they are not altered during voting. To have any meaningful security, it must be possible to write-protect the media, read it in its entirety without running any code therefrom, conduct the election with the media still write-protected, and then read it out again (still write-protected).

Not difficult to design a machine that way, but does anyone?
