Machines Set to Count Votes Nationwide Flunk Last-Minute Accuracy Tests



"The same ballots, run through the same machines, yielded different results each time ... This begs the question -- on Election Day, will the record number of ballots going through the remaining tabulators leave even more build-up on the sensors, affecting machines that tested just fine initially? Could this additional build-up on voting tabulators that have not had any preventative maintain skew vote totals? My understanding is that the problem could occur and election workers would have no inkling that the ballots are being misread."


Uh oh. I foresee the possibility for a 2000 Election 2.0.
