1. 7 Counties in OHIO I believe. Don't Know the Names

The legitimacy of democratic elections is inexorably predicated upon the electorate's ability to verify the results which is only possible with a tangible ballot and permanent record. Indeed, The history of democratic voting in America is a history of ballot recounts and the ability to conduct them. To deny any candidate the option of a recount is I believe directly contrary to the democratic principles upon which this nation was founded.

A ballot that cannot be physically verified or interrogated is no different than a vote by someone with no verifiable name or residence. It is like making a bank deposit with no receipt and for which the institution retains no hard copy of the transaction.

If it's not good enough for our financial transactions, it's not good enough for our elections. Yet, this was the voting method used in about 1/4th of US precincts including 7 counties in Ohio. At best, such systems are an open invitation to voting fraud by whichever political party controls the state voting machinery.

With so many "smoking guns" this election can at best be described as tainted. Instead of propagating the Bush "mandate," perhaps the media should focus on the recent tainted election and why America needs to rid itself of our balkanized mess of voting systems and forever eliminate any system that does not leave a permanent voting record.
