"deserve to vote"

Huh?? Voting is a RESPONSIBILITY! You don't deserve to vote, you have the right to vote, but that means you need to be responsible enough to learn how to use the equipment. The same goes for knowing who the candidates are and what they stand for.

Cyberant- this time it wasn't the voters who didn't know how to use the equipment- it was the poll workers who didn't know how to get the votes cast transferred onto the backup tape to be counted at election headquarters. Lots of precincts showed no voters- or a single voter, when in reality hundreds of people showed up and cast a vote- and raised hell when they saw their vote didn't count.
That's what Reno is trying to correct- Dade & Broward are now downloading the votes, so they can be counted. She is entirely justified, INHO.
