Ah, Florida: What Would an Election Be without You

After a week of early voting, a handful of glitches with electronic voting machines have drawn the ire of voters, reassurances from elections supervisors -- and a caution against the careless casting of ballots. . . .

Debra A. Reed voted with her boss on Wednesday at African-American Research Library and Cultural Center near Fort Lauderdale. Her vote went smoothly, but boss Gary Rudolf called her over to look at what was happening on his machine. He touched the screen for gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis, a Democrat, but the review screen repeatedly registered the Republican, Charlie Crist. . . .

Broward Supervisor of Elections spokeswoman Mary Cooney said it's not uncommon for screens on heavily used machines to slip out of sync, making votes register incorrectly.

Ms. Cooney did admit that it was uncommon for the screens on heavily used machines to slip out of sync in favor of the Democrats. "What's your point?" she didn't say.

There's no point. I was just wondering if I should put on my tin-foil hat now, or wait until after the election and the landslide win for the Republican party.
