strange results
the optical scan results from florida are perplexing. i'd really like to have an explanation. the big question is: are optical scan voting machines reliable? either they accurately counted an unintuitive voting pattern. or they didn't. seems easy enough to double check the former by going door to door in select counties in florida. if it turns out the former isn't true then we should ban the use of optical scan machines in their current incarnation. either they don't work reliably or it's too easy to tamper with them.
