Comments on: Passing the Plate https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/10/07/passing-the-plate-72/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Mon, 08 Oct 2007 12:59:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/10/07/passing-the-plate-72/comment-page-1/#comment-30176 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 12:59:02 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/10/07/passing-the-plate-72/#comment-30176 Ah, Steve, but Florida seems so committed to fouling up the entire package, to prevent anything from working in a rational manner, that surely the state is a poster child for how not to do it.

FWIW, Florida is far from the only state with difficulties conducting a fair election. A few minutes spent at BlackBoxVoting.org should convince most fair-minded people of that.

It’s not the placement of the bolts. It’s the screws.

We have managed to screw up the scheduling, making a ballot, marking a ballot, counting ballots, and determining who’s eligible to vote – pretty much a clean sweep.
