There are problems with electronic voting machines.

As we head into the final days before the election, I just want to reiterate, one last time, that the best solution is often the one that involves the least technology, and that throwing computers at a problem doesn't necessarily solve it. In something so vitally important to this country, on EVERY level from local to national, as an election, we should be willing to take the time to do things correctly. If that means having elections officials sit in a room and count marks on paper for days, so be it. Speed kills.

(JJB) I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with John Kerry and the VP candidate (it wasn't Edwards, might have been a younger, taller Lieberman) at some election night, victory function (although we didn't know who'd won yet). They were cool dudes and we clicked and were chatting a lot. Kerry was growing out a sweet-ass goatee. I had a chance to bitch to him about electronic voting and he seemed appropriately concerned.
