Are you aware of the laws in Florida and Texas which say that hand counting is more reliable than machine counting? I've seen clerks at the train station in Tokyo use an abacus to make change too. It doesn't ever blue screen or otherwise freeze up, but I don't think we're going to start replacing the world's computers with them.

Scumbria: re >>Are you aware of the laws in Florida and Texas which say that hand counting is more reliable than machine counting? Or maybe you just chose to ignore those laws.<< And what standards does the law require be followed in performing hand counts in Texas? The democratic controlled counties in Florida constantly changed theirs in a treacherous attempt to change the outcome of the election. In Michigan I understand that they put different colors behind slots on hand counted ballots for the different candidates in a precisely prescribed manner. If a color can be seen through the ballet behind the candidate's name it scores as a vote, if not, no vote. Whether you agree this is a good method or not is debatable, but it is consistent.
