Charley, here's an interesting take. reaganradio.com Alone among American media, Mike Reagan reports his findings upon interviewing the executives of the company who built and maintain the voting machines in Palm Beach. 1. Their design failure rate is one in a million ballots, MAXIMUM. i.e. 0+1, 1-1. 2. These machines were tested less than 1 year ago at a "0" ballots per million failure rate. They have had "0" service calls. 3. "Pregnant Chads." "Indented Chads," "Hanging Chads" are not supposed to count. 4. A machine count is statistically hundreds of times more accurate than a hand count. That's why voting machines were invented. 5. Repeated handling of ballots causes chads to fall out. Not recommended. That's another reason why hand counts should be avoided.
