Ted, from the push piece you posted,

Although the computer rigs cost eight times as much as paper with scanners, they result in many more spoiled votes. In this year’s presidential primary in Florida, the computers had a spoilage rate of more than 1 percent, as compared to one-tenth of a percent for the double-checked paper ballots.

What BS. If your ATM messed up your transactions 1% of the time, it would be useless.

Now think about how the idiot author came to the conclusion that voting machines are off by more than 1%. Poor training, late openings at polls, and voters turned away as a result. That's not vote spoilage; that's user error. If anything, it could point to a failure in the training process, but the author already jumped to the conclusion that voting machines are highly unreliable and thus dishonest.
