Glitches Prompt GOP Suit Over Fairfax Tabulations

"Widespread problems with new touch-screen voting machines delayed election results in Fairfax County last night and led to a legal challenge by Republican officials.

Nine malfunctioning voting machines were removed for repair and then put back in service, a move that Fairfax Republicans said broke election law. Several hundred votes were under scrutiny, not enough to affect the outcome of countywide races."

Well, if this keeps up, maybe the republicans will get rid of those nasty Diebold machines for us.

1. I wouldn't be surprised to discover

that while our grievances are illegitimate, the grievances of the Fairfax county Republican party are. There will likely be a court decision that does not set precedence.

2. Did this glitch happen anywhere else?

Maybe there could be a class action? I'm willing to bet there were glitches like this all over the country.
