Massive double punching occurs when an operative sits with an open metal stylus (sometimes a clothes hanger) and punches through 30 - 50 ballots to enter another name.

I was a voice crying here in the Florida wilderness when the push was made to go to 'all-electronic' voting after this fiasco. I said then and say now that voting without any capability of recount of physical ballot is a massive open door to fraud. We are now seeing a costly effort to replace what was bought in haste with something more 'palatable'.

I want to see an 'electronically readable' paper ballot that uses indelible ink to mark the ballot like standardized tests. Yes it is not perfect, nothing is. But it would take a party hack a LOT LONGER to work their mischief there. I'm wondering if someday, in a death's bed confession, we'll have one of these hacks confess.

I used to vote in Escambia County and that was the type of ballot they used in 2000. It was electronically readable, but leaves a paper trail. You are right, in that it would take a lot longer to make up forged ballots in large quantities.

Somehow I doubt that "Recount" will delve into the teams of lawyers the DNC sent into every Florida county to dispute absentee ballots. They were actually high-fiving each other every time they got a ballot thrown out.
