my university sucks

in another useless class, not learning anything.
So I turn my attention to more interesting things.
The GAO report was released a few days ago, and makes it offical to what many of us allready knew. In order to keep your attention and not bore you with the technical details, 'll keep it brief with actual results due to the flawed electronic voting system. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILED ARTICLE.

Actual Examples of Voting System Failure

GAO found multiple examples of actual operational failures in real elections. These examples include the following incidents:

· In California, a county presented voters with an incorrect electronic ballot, meaning they could not vote in certain races (p. 29).

· In Pennsylvania, a county made a ballot error on an electronic voting system that resulted in the county's undervote percentage reaching 80% in some precincts (p. 29-30).

· In North Carolina, electronic voting machines continued to accept votes after their memories were full, causing over 4,000 votes to be lost (p. 31).

· In Florida, a county reported that touch screens took up to an hour to activate and had to be activated sequentially, resulting in long delays (p. 31).
