Home Depot headquarters can tell you, at the end of every day, exactly how many galvanized 3-inch screws were sold in their Anchorage, Alaska, store. Walmart can tell you exactly how many lawn chairs they sold in Vermont yesterday, and whether consumers preferred the brown or green ones. McDonalds knows how many Big Macs they need in Wyoming tomorrow. The data is accurate and real-time. The government needs to subcontract out the voting process to one of those companies, and let some competent managers handle it.

The pastor who found the ballot box said he shook it, and it was full.

Gottrried, >"Overlooked ballot box found in Florida church" cnn.com I wonder how many votes it contains.< Can't stop at the headlines these days; you know how the press hypes things. Here is the first paragraph in the press release for which you posted the URL: "MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- A ballot box discovered Wednesday morning by a church preschool employee was a supply case, and was not stuffed with forgotten ballots, Miami-Dade County election officials told CNN." Doesn't look like a smoking gun to me. :^) Regards, Knip
