Machines are not just faster, they presumably are also impartial. I assume humididty problems would cost Gore and Bush about the same number of votes across the nation. Machines may be impartial, but they are not all alike. The old machines make many more mistakes than the new machines, so the question becomes, which districts have the old machines and which the new? In Florida, it seems that the southern, urban districts (read: Democratic) have the preponderance of old machines. If this were not the case, we would have heard the Republicans hollering for recounts.
