Has anyone heard this? Electronic voting defaults to * ? |
|
A friend of mine said someone told him that the electronic voting that they're using in some places (looks like a small tablet PC) will enter a default vote for Bush if you don't select anyone for President. Not that he needs any help here, but has anyone else heard this?

3. There were a number of reports around the country ... |
|
about e-voting machines that entered the wrong specific votes when one entered a straight-ticket vote. That's why I like paper ballots, as I voted with. Of course, I'm assuming that the readers of such ballots are correctly set -- but at least there's a paper trail.
