We need your help to publicize an electronic voting disaster that occurred last week in Broward County, Florida. This event proves the unreliability of electronic voting machines and the need for a paper trail. Publicizing this event is an opportunity to make it clear that this need is undeniable.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
In a special election for the State House District 91 seat, ES&S electronic voting machines showed a total of 134 undervotes - that is, 134 ballots in which voters did not select a candidate in the single-race election. In this single-race election, all candidates were Republicans. The winner, Ellyn Bogdanoff, received 12 more votes than the runner-up.
Florida law requires a manual recount of invalid votes when the winning margin is less than one-quarter of one percent, which it is in this case. However, it is impossible for election officials to comply with Florida law because the 134 invalid votes were cast on electronic voting machines, and there is no record of the voter's original votes.
Articles about it are in the Sun Sentinel and Miami Herald.
