Touch Screen Voting Machines Used To Elect Garlic Bread
<snip>

Hundreds of people at last weekend's Gilroy Garlic Festival got some practice using new touch-screen voting machines.

Voters cast electronic ballots of their favorite and least favorite garlic dishes.

The clear winner? Garlic bread won with 201 votes.

Garlic fries took second place with 161 votes and garlic scampi followed in third place with 115 votes.

For the second year in a row, garlic ice cream was voted the least favorite food.

Voters in Santa Clara County, Calif., will use touch-screen voting machines in the November election.

1. Clearly these are Diebold machines.
Everyone knows that garlic fries are better than garlic bread. Was there an exit poll?

The fries may have won but when you have friends in the garlic bread business you do what you have to do...

11. Now, if the Presidential election were only as important as that,
There would be more concern about the accuracy of these machines. Too bad!
