>> Whose fault is it that Palm Beach County is using an archaic, antiquated system that was rejected over a decade ago by the Bureau of Standards?

1) It is the Palm Beach County voting officials' fault, but this can be rectified so that the voters are not penalized for this error.

>> Whose fault is it that Palm Beach County needs to hold questionable ballots up to the light to divine the will of the voter?

2) Same as above.

>>Whose fault is it that Palm Beach County has been sitting around on their hands for over a week now? If they had really tried, maybe they could have had the manual recount done by the deadline, but the deadline has come and gone and they haven't even started.

3) I'm not clear on this one. I was under the impression that their timing was affected by the case the GOP brought to Federal Court, among other legal challenges.

>>They aren't electing the local dog-catcher, you know. The whole world is waiting while Palm Beach diddles around. Enough is enough.
