WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- Two men were arrested on Thursday
for stealing one of Palm Beach County's voting machines, complete with its
controversial "butterfly" ballot, and trying to sell it on the Internet.

You still don't seem to understand how the Votomatic works. A booklet containing the ballot pages is inserted/placed along a series of punch holes on the desk top plane of the "machine." The cards are what's important not a hunk of metal and plastic with a paper ballot attached. All those two jokers had there was a historical curiosity, not an ingredient for vote fraud.

I've read reports of people carrying stacks of unpunched ballots out of the polling places, haven't you?

No. And that in and of itself doesn't mean much.

To pull off vote fraud with a Votomatic you would need ballot sleeves and a ballot box or bag with appropriate seals and locks in addition to punched cards.

And I haven't heard of any theft of blank card, sleeves, boxes or bags, or seals and locks. If you've got a url please post.
