Nadine...re the "old punch card machines" ..why is it they are used in counties that are heavy Democrat counties in FL?? And some of those same counties are among the wealthiest counties in FL, with Palm Beach one of the top wealthiest in the entire US??? Why weren't they changed some time ago, if they weren't correct? Who maintains them??? Whose responsibility is it to see they were maintained correctly?? It will be really interesting to find out someday just when those machines were actually purchased, and have some answers to the above questions....Just how LONG has this been going on???? How long? For a long time, clearly. It usually just doesn't matter. Replacing voting machines has not been high on anyone's priority list, though you can bet this will change. The county elections boards are in charge of the machines. Large, poor counties like Dade have the machines because they're cheap. I have no idea why Palm Beach County still has them.
