Rush Limbaugh has trouble voting
Palm Beach Post ^ | January 29, 2008, 02:42 PM | Bob King

Count Rush Limbaugh among the voters confused by Palm Beach County’s touch-screen machines.

On his syndicated talk show this afternoon, Limbaugh said he was trying to vote in today’s primary when the screen seemed to freeze or “stick” on the list of presidential candidates.

“I hit ‘Next’ and it didn’t go there,” said Limbaugh, who lives in Palm Beach and often recounts the county’s electoral foibles on his show.

Then he hit the “Back” button and “got my candidate page again with the vote already recorded there. So I said ‘hmmmmm, I wonder if this is going to count twice.”

So he unclicked his favored candidate, clicked that candidate again and hit “Next” a second time - and it worked.

“I don’t know if I voted twice,” he said. “Probably not.”

The article says Rush Limbaugh, not Sean Hannity.

He voted for Romney.

Probably not his first choice, but knowing that it’s a “stop McCain” vote - I can’t believe he’d go any other way.

Rush voted for Romney if anything as an Anti-McCain, Anti-Huckster vote.

I used the same machines last week & found them confusing, but not so confusing that I needed help. I remember the lady asking me if I’d ever used machines like this before. Since we never had them before, she probably would have gone ballistic if I’d said “yes.”

The most confusing part is that when you get to the end, the video screen shows how you’re voting on every candidate and proposal. It asks you to check to make sure it’s correct, then push “Vote.”

Well, there is no place on the screen where it says “Vote.”

The “Vote” button is an actual physical button on the top of the machine, above the screen. Took me a few seconds to figure that out.

Curious if Fred Thompson remained on the electronic ballot.

Did you see his name there?
