Of the 8,359,168 votes cast statewide, some 384,427 (nearly 4.6%) were not recorded for the recall question. Almost half of these missing votes (over 175,000) were in Los Angeles, nearly 9% for that county. Yet the Datavote punchcards used in 14 other counties fared somewhat better, on average, than all of the optically scanned and touchscreen systems, with the exception of only the ES&S Optech Eagle (used in San Francisco and San Mateo counties) and the Diebold Accu-Vote-TS (used in Alameda, though with some reports of equipment malfunctions).

So, this beggars the question, was the 4.6% error rate in LA due to the problems with the machines or problems with the voters?

This is exactly why a landslide was need in the Recall -- to make any vote irregularities they manufactured irrevelant!

Did you HAVE to vote on the recall? I would imagine you didn't and could just vote on prop 54.
